Steaming Ash and Filling Snowshoes at Ross Farm Museum

[@RusticFarmer]

I really like the videos on the snowshoes but wish this last video was broken down more to show the full process. But I do appreciate the video and you are good with the hatchet.

I wouldn't want to do it for a living but it should would be fun for about a week.

What do you soak the rawhide in?

Hi Tom-Tina Corser! I checked with Barry and he said all he uses is water, thanks for the question!

You shouldn't freeze the rawhide. You want to stretch the proteins not damage them. Freezing will micro "cut" the proteins.
