W.O. Russell M.V.Z., Berkeley, Calif. Using this method I only lost 3 skins from slipping skin. One has to be very careful in putting the body into the skin. The hair is not too firm and can not stand excessive pulling. Best to have wire in fat as fat had dried out from being frozen so long. A good method when one does not have time to facilities for making final preparation on the trip.
