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.

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.

Thanks for the vids. I have only been doing this a few years and on a very small scale. I still watch your put up videos every fall. I have learned a bunch from you.

We'll, there goes that theory of fleshing. Good video.

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.

Thanks for posting, haven’t had any interest in trying a pressure washer since it’s -20 here. However, I basically learned putting up fur from your videos. Thank you for doing them. I usually brush up by rewatching them each fall.

It works way better if you air skin them first.

You won't be doing that in the fur shed, or outdoors in Wintertime.
