Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

I am very fortunate to be dating a man that is a hunter and a trapper..and since we have been going out I have learned so much about the process involved in trapping and cleaning..he was skinning beavers last night..stinky wow..and the tools he has to do all of this process....just basic tools but the shapes and sizes...just thought that learning to skin would be a usefull tool for everyone..so getting some flat boards to dry the skins on is usefull...hey this is all fascinating to me..knowledge is the key to sucess..no matter what the knowledge is..
My husband, the hunter and trapper,
In furs looks awfully dapper.
He can skin with a cleaver
A big stinking beaver,
And in Spring he reels after snapper. _________________ "By the time individuals discover that remaining resources will not be adequate for the next generation, the next generation has already been born. " David Price
A fresh kill of beaver shouldnt be that stinky realy well depending on where you are hunting some beavers stink like hell when they are alive ( even a human can hunt down a stinky beaver by smell.. euwww). Unless he got into the scent glands while striping his hine legs, which can ruin the meat , your back yard for a few hours, and your appetite.
Skinning is an excellent skill, and hunting/trapping is almost a philosophy. Not just a chasing down and killing of animals. I requires an inate knowlege of your environment and its inhabitants. Trapping to me the most exclusive form of hunting. One who can determine where his prey has been and exactly where it is likely to return, silently capturing his prey with only the mechanichs of a few simple knots. That indivisual has the skills needed to hunt, shoot, trap any game he chooses. Along with this comes the the ability to skin, pluck, scorch, scale and/or gut by experience any game that comes your way. Along with this one can learn to cure and preserve his meat as well as tanning and leatherwork.
