Workshop on how to use roadkill

If you are looking for some creative ways to feed your family on a budget, yet want quality, wholesome food, consider attending this workshop. We will be teaching how to judge the edibility of a dead animal on the road and guide you through the experience of skinning and cleaning. Techniques for cooking and drying the meat also presented. Discussion and demonstration of using all parts of a deer (and other animals) including the skins, antlers, sinews, etc. Class will be 2 - 4 hours depending on what everyone brings in on their way to class. Get up early that morning and see what you can find. Class will be held outdoors (a covered barn) and is a hands-on experience so dress appropriately and bring a sharp knife (hopefully at least one of us will find something that morning). Cost is $35 per student. Size will be limited. Starts at 9 am on Sunday Dec. 6, 2009. Location is about an hour drive SE of Austin. To register, look under the 'workshops' tab of www.backyardfoodproduction.com.
The workshop will be led by Red Louvish who is a professional brain tanner living in the Austin, TX area. A strong interest in free food led to a specialization in roadkill processing, and a growing supply of deer hides got him interested in brain tanning. His other work as a courier provides a natural compatibility with finding and using animals on the road. Red teaches roadkill processing and advanced brain tanning techniques at the Rabbitstick and Wintercount primitive skills gatherings.
