The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Humane Trapping, Tanning Hides, Making Leather & Selling Pelts
"Learn to trap, tan, and thrive—no experience needed!"
Whether you're into off-grid living, wilderness survival, self-sufficiency, or simply exploring a lost skill, this book is your go-to guide for humane trapping and pelt preparation—with step-by-step instructions even total beginners can follow.
"Trap ethically, tan skillfully, sell smart—start today!"
Learn how to ethically and legally trap small game, skin and tan hides, and turn raw fur into usable leather—or a sellable pelt.
"Craft leather, clothe yourself, and even earn extra income!"
This is not a dry, technical manual. This is real-world guidance from someone who still practices these traditional skills as part of a self-reliant lifestyle. No fluff—just clear instruction from someone who’s walked the trapline.

✔️ Types of Traps & How to Use Them – Snares, body-grips, footholds, and more explained
✔️ Lures, Baits & Attractants – How to increase your catch rate with smart strategy
✔️ Trapper Code of Ethics – Respect the animals, the land, and the law
✔️ Water vs. Land Trapping Techniques – Learn how and when to apply each method
✔️ Safe Handling & Humane Dispatching – Prioritize safety and compassion in every step
✔️ How to Skin, Flesh & Stretch a Pelt – Full walkthroughs with practical tips
✔️ Intro to Tanning – Understand every step of turning hide into leather
✔️ Tanning Methods – Brain tanning, alum tanning, and more—broken down clearly
✔️ Fur Grading & Selling – How to evaluate and sell your pelts for top dollar
✔️ Avoiding Non-Target Captures – Prevent unwanted encounters and learn how to release safely
✔️ Bonus: Trap Set & Pelt Prep Guides – Two appendices for quick field reference
🐾 Why This Guide Is Different:
Unlike most books that skim the surface or overwhelm with jargon, this guide is designed to be accessible, practical, and actionable. You'll feel like you're learning from a mentor—someone who’s walked the same trail, made the mistakes, and figured out what really works in the field.
