butchery
We all read up on hunting, many of us own the equipment to get meat to the bunker, on a personal note we own a pet bunny but if push came to shove "Bluebell" would get a crack on the noggin.
But what happens after that? Many of us new to bushcraft and survival haven't got a scooby what to do.
So I found this as a starter video, I may add others if I find there are differences to the Prep. of the critter.

RE: butchery
Ahh I've not found them mate sorry. But in my defence I like to watch and learn while reading doesn't do the full teaching experience for me, if you get my meaning.
Squirrel time, very similar.
I've watched a few squirrel prep. vids but this seems the easiest way.

RE: butchery
Good advice Barney thank you, like I say I'm new to all this apart from scaring sporting anglers when i caught a fish and twotted it one, gutted it then fired up a porta barbie. They didn't like that.

RE: butchery
We all have different learning requirements which makes my job more of an issue. Videos take up a lot of space compared to PDFs and although I keep everything myself. I can't put everything online because of space limitations. Although me are not at a limit yet so its not a problem yet. I'll put these up when it gets going.

RE: butchery
I've never skinned an animal in my life, so these videos are so helpful.
My girlfriends dad knows the local farmer, so I'm going to see if he can teach me. No doubt he'll have loads of rabbits available for the shooting.
I think my girlfriend would look at me differently though.
What about videos of how to prepare the rabbit skin/fur once you have skinned it? I'd want to learn to preserve them and make gloves or things like that. That would be a very helpful skill as well.

RE: butchery
I've butchered a lot of rabbits and birds, but i'd rather gut a hundred Rabbits than one Pheasant, after all these years Pheasants still make me gag lol
And Squirrels are very good eating

Pheasants are easy to de breast, I did one last week. No plucking. No mess and very very quick.
