If not okay to post here, please remove. I am trying to find someone who sell Bear fat, any ideas?
I have been told that two thirds bear fat mixed with one third mile burned wood tar should be the best for leather boots.

I've made leather treatment from bear fat, pine pitch and bees wax. Works well.
I was given the bear fat. Do you know any bear hunters, Bue? That would be your best option.
I've also heard it makes great biscuits, too.
Boy that Amazon's got everything, and you can make Biscuits Too. :laughing:
Sounds like an invitation for rodents or insects to gnaw on your leather.
Everybody, including myself has a product they swear is the ultimate leather dressing
So here is the absolute best stuff in the world!

No problem with rodents here. I use my blend all the time as well as Montana Pitch Blend and mink oil. Mink oil is the fat from minks, other leather dressings are animal fats too. Montana Pitch Blend is mink oil, bees wax and pine pitch. I don't agree that animal fat leather treatments will attract rodents. Bear fat has long been a preferred animal fat for leather dressing and in food maybe not by today's standards but since the beginning of time.
Dang, I wouldn't want rodents or insects gnawing on my leather...
Your leather is way too tough, Roy. :readit:
Yer dog gone froggy doggy righty righty:)
I dunno Pat, I think you might be growing a rat pack there in the backwoods, feeding them bear grease and who knows what else. Got any 4 leg critters named Willard or Ben?
The 5' black snake I removed from our sun room the other night and his family usually takes care of the rodents around here, Flem. :thumbsup:
The day I had to remove a snake from my house is the day the wife would be moving out.
She is scared to death of snakes.
LOL
I found this one in my sock drawer, maybe that's where my camera went to?

The dogs pointed the black snake out to me in the sun room, the wife was asleep up stairs. I was trying to figure out how to get him out without waking the wife. Finally I donned my fleece jacket and work gloves and picked up his coiled mass and threw him out the front door. This snake has been hanging around for a few days. We heard a thump on the back porch the next night and when I went out he was on the deck. I looked up to the roof peak on the side of the house and there is a Phoebe (bird) nest up there and I figured the snake was after that.
Bue, just head north and shoot a polar bear. They're all gonna die anyway.
Okay thanks guys, maybe I just settle for chicken fat, easier to come by.
Here in Norway we have very few bears and they only shoot one if it kills lots of sheep. The sheep farmers scream bloody murder then.
Roy did you skin the bastard?
Bue in my younger days we used to render lambs fat to water proof our boots. We would rub it in while in the liquid form, it worked well. Now days I try to stay out of the water. LOL.
Yupper Bue.
Got enough skin to do 8 bows:)
