Shortly after this pic, I damn near three up down myself.
Was out getting a deer hide ready to make some rawhide rolls for the dogs. Had it in wood ashes since Thursday night. Pulled it out, rinsed it off, and threw it on the fleshing board to scrape the hair off. The lye loosens the hair and makes a sterile environment to loosen the follicles as well as the hair.
Well, I guess there was a spot in the middle that had an air pocket, and didn't get the lye. I scraped through it and slung a spray of rotted deer hide water, ashes, and hair all over my face and chest. It was fucking horrible. I gathered it up and threw that bitch in the field.
I'll be 4 days getting this stink out of my beard.
