AtypicalAnimal

I am a spiritual skinner, tanner, and crafter of animal remains, with ultimate respect for the materials I work with. I do not hunt or trap, but proudly support both industries provided the parties involved follow state laws and basic morals. I understand the value of human interference in the ecosystem, as well as our inherent involvement and ultimate responsibility to reciprocate appropriately. I refuse to shadow myself from suffering and reality in efforts to discover truths. If you have information or questions, do not hesitate to comment or shoot me a note. I will gladly give information and details, including photos, of anything you may be curious about, even if your interest is not to buy.

I am a pagan following a reconstruction of the Lithuanian faith, Romuva. Ancestors, trees, fire, food and other elements of life are sacred to me.

Everything is alive.


"I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not just as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow."
--Fred Bear



I did not kill the animals that I work with, but I take personal responsibility for their deaths.

Do not hesitate to ask me anything, be it about methods, morals, or anything else! If you have an opposing opinion, I am more than happy to participate in intelligent discussion -- but not an argument. Rude, insensitive, troll/etc comments or notes will be ignored and hidden.

I am located in Wichita Kansas, USA.
