What is Reddit's opinion of Hide and Deer Fur Tanning, 8 Ounces?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I don’t have a book but, I use this tanning solution for my hides and it works well enough. The bottle has all the instructions you’ll need. It should work for most mammals, idk about reptiles or birds.

I used this stuff to make a deerskin seat cover from a doe I shot in rifle season. I really like how it turned out. I'm just getting into tanning so there may be better stuff out there but I think this is the orange bottle solution that was mentioned in a previous comment

By no means am I proficient at tanning, I’ve only done a couple rabbits, but, I’d suggest focusing on fleshing the hide as much as possible. Left over meat or cartilage can rot and then smell. I used the basic orange bottle of tanning solution for mine and they’re a little musty but not potent at all.

Edit: Solution I used

Maybe the comments and questions on Amazon can provide some info

Can you verify if it's this? I'd love to have a deer pelt <3

I tanned my deer skin from a couple years ago and it took so long I never really finished it. I would highly suggest getting the tools and work space prepared before starting the work as it takes a long time to complete with half assed prep.

You can salt the hide and keep it up to a year before tanning so don't feel rushed to start just because you have the skins.

I used this stuff and followed the directions on the bottle. I also watched some of these videos by skillcult on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEcJVruXj-s&amp;list=PL60FnyEY-eJChUzoIGCqYE20rpjbfOgfc

He does some more ye olde natural tanning methods though. But he has good info on the rest of it like fleshing the hides and whatnot.

At the time I bought this solution. Does that replace the smoking?

Here is are some alternatives
