I see what your talking about now. The end that goes around the tree he has another quick connect of some kind. Just not enough to see.

ha ha. The should call the Belisles "Lights Out!"

No joke. Switched and never looked back.

Here's a better view of the same set up guys. Skip to 2:25 show the set up of the cable and quick clips briefly but you can see it a bit better.

I still couldn't tell what it was, sure works slick though.

2 min 24 seconds. Rough skinning a beaver.

How to Skin and Flesh a beaver in the Athabaskan native style.
I found this video interesting in how he opens up the beaver. One thing that always adds to the difficulty in both clean and rough skinning is the fat removal on the skin right adjacent to the center cut. Cutting it open after you skin/flesh it would eliminate that. I am going to try it and maybe try and incorporate something similar into my beaver skinning.

Thougth I would add my- Clean skinning a Beaver. This video playlist should take you into all three videos one at a time, one after the other on clean skinning a beaver. Youtube would not let me do and HD Video longer than 15 min so I broke it into three segments. This approx. 60-62 inch beaver is cleaned skinned in less than 19 min. It shows some of the techniques I have come to depend on for doing a clean job relatively fast as well as some new techniques that were just adopted into my methods. The video is shot with a GoPro head cam and provides a video from the unique position of the skinners view. Hope you are able to pick up a few tips from this series of videos.

I would reccommend watching it larger directly on Youtube.

Great post Len. I see similarities in how we skin. I too prefer clean skinning. The use of the hook and line is a great help I agree, hate to not use it. The spade you use is interesting. Never seen that done before. Looks like it works!

My best was 12 minutes, but that was towards end of season one year. At the beginning it was closer to 30.

Keep up the great videos:)

Thanks for sharing the videos Len, almost makes me want to try for a beaver through the ice! Almost.
