Welcome to the buckskinning skills section of The History and Primitive Technology Page. What we're going to do here is look at a few of the buckinning skills that overlap into the "primitive technology" area that this site deals with. For this reason you won't find things like how to build a muzzleloader or powder horn, but making gunflints is explored as it overlaps the area of flintknapping technology. Making period clothing is not here, but the primitive skill of tanning leather for that purpose or other leather needs can be found here.

If you desire information on buckskinning subjects not covered here, a list of related links has been provided.
