In order to break a hide with a drum and sawdust you will need a drum with a min of 6ft drop preferred 8ft and 4ft wide with 100lbs of hardwood sawdust. Thin hides like coyote fox and deer etc you don’t need to thin more just flesh really good and follow instructions on the tanning kit. To get beaver tanned nice and soft you need the proper gear or be ready for tons of elbow grease and disappointment lol
