Is there a more simple way of skinning animals?

Couldn’t one just burn the fur off animals with fire without skinning them?

#2

why, the skin is quite useful, and early primitive people probably skinned em with rocks.

I am talking about getting to the skin easier by burning off the fur with fire.

Can that be done?

The skin would burn too. Skinning isn’t all that hard or time consuming once you get the hang of it.

Burning the hair off a pig with boiling water is a pretty common practice but they aren’t usually saving that skin for making things when they do that. I imagine you would risk damaging the skin even with boiling water, plus you would still have to de-grain it.

Hmmm… :-\

Well that plan simply won’t do. 8)

Looks like general skinning with a hatchet knife will have to do.
