Storing animal parts
« on: May 17, 2015, 09:51:24 pm »
Where and how do you guys go about storing different animal parts (feathers, sinew, snake skins, etc)?  I am curious about keeping mites, bugs and rodents out of my good stuff.  Do you store your stuff separately our all together?

I keep my stuff in a large tote with a good layer of borax in the bottom of it.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

This is exactly what i did this weekend.  I saw recently a conversion between Clint and someone else saying that the freezer won't actually kill mites.  This is kinda what stemmed this topic
