The steps being randomly placed around the image isn't a great layout, but I appreciate that they used parts of the deer to process other parts of the deer.
It's quite the journey.
It's like the reading order of Terry Pratchetts Disc World books
It does have them labelled a through g though so that helped once i realised
I'm very uncomfortable with the phrase "brain mash".
I was talking to an outdoorsy type while he was working on a rabbit (?) skin he was softening, and he mentioned that it was brain tanned. So I asked him what that meant and he said there's something in animal brain that will tan their hides, and the brain the animal has enough for tanning its hide.
So every animal has enough brains to tan its own hide. That seems strangely appropriate on a metaphorical level.
So every animal has enough brains to tan its own hide.
It's a great myth, but it's entirely incorrect. I guess Silence of the Lambs isn't required watching anymore.
Big same...
Aye, "Brain mash" is an uncomfortable phrase for civilized people, but survival is debatably the antonym of civilization. Explore!
Do you prefer “monster mash”?
As referenced by this diagram, when the deer loses its animation, it needs to be returned to its default T-pose.
This is missing a step
After applying brains (you can substitute a mix of warm water and soap or egg), the hide needs to be manually worked / stretched as it dries out.
That’s absolutely necessary if you want supple, suede like buckskin. If you skip this step, you’ll just end up with something close to fuzzy cardboard.
