I don't post much, but I do troll the site regularly and notice alot of interest in using a pressure washer to flesh there catch. Well I've had so many requests for a video on it, I finally tried it. Many of you probably know the the answer weather it's quicker than a traditional knife, but I thought I'd post a link to the video I did incase some were still on the fence about it. Also I see my name thrown around here and there, and I just I wanted to say thank you for all the kind comments regarding what I do. Fleshing with a Pressure Washer https://youtu.be/7o1GKJKguJ4

Good video-doesn't look too impressive of a method. I seen some beaver pelts last year put up after pressure wash fleshing.They looked real good. The guy that did them never did it before and mentioned that he blew a few holes in the first couple hides around the leg holes.After he got the hang of it he said it was messy but not too bad-gotta do it outdoors I suppose. He also mentioned that he used an oscillating nozzle.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Stu, I watched the video right after you uploaded it. It worked about like I'd figured. It aught to be about as good as Bag Balm on a fella's skin though, it appeared to give you a good coating of blubber!

I had a different experience with the pressure washer. It took everything off fine. Maybe a little too deeply in fact, on an early coon. I don't think it's more efficient, but it can work.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

It works way better if you air skin them first.
Poor people have poor ways.
