After it is dried hard, you can rehydrate it and begin tanning, or just keep the hide like this until ready to tan. I have several dry hides folded and set on top of my cabinet waiting for good clear weather to continue tanning. You can save them until ready, without having them take up your freezer space. Both iodized and non-iodized salt work well for this purpose; Non-iodized salt is typically cheaper in large quantities, however, so it is usually preferred. | After it is dried hard, you can rehydrate it and begin tanning, or just keep the hide like this until ready to tan.
