Title: Storing animal parts
Post by: Aaron H 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.

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
