I’m going to tan a couple pelts and was wondering if it’s safe to do in a basement. Basement is unfinished but I’m told the tan/pickle will stink up the house.

You can tan in the basement-should be no unpleasant smells unless you are tanning large amounts of skunk,mink etc.
If your pickle starts to smell,its time to neutralize it and dump it and start a new pickle.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I just tanned 10 beaver, 3 rats, 1 coyote, 1 fox, 1 coon and an otter in my basement. Pickle didn't smell at all. Tanning smelled up the basement for a day or so but after that fine.
