An Emergency Skinning Tool You Can Find Almost Anywhere

Now this is cool as heck:

“Hunters and skinning animals go hand-in-hand. Once they acquire their wild game, they need to uncover the meat that they hope to eat. This also applies to farmers and ranchers that raise livestock as a personal food source. These folks are usually prepared with appropriate cutlery for the task. But for the moment, let’s imagine that you are in a survival situation without these tools. You have acquired an animal but how do you dress it out for meat, hide and other useful parts?

Skinning with a beer bottle bottom might not be your first choice – but if you’ve been robbed or caught without your bug-out bag, it could come in really handy.
