They aren't garbage. He's just trying to promote his buddy SWT's fur by spreading misinformation.
The main differences are that the hide may not be as supple with a home tan and it is a lot cheaper. The quality of the fur doesn't change.
IMO a $30 home tanned beaver pelt is a better choice for someone that is just learning to make mitts, etc than a $150 factory tanned pelt that you may screw up on.
Here are the mitts that an Inuit lady made for me from my home tanned fur. See any difference?
