BEAR GREASE / BEAR LARD AND GUN OIL / BEAR OIL
We use bear grease / bear lard in our homemade leather dressing. I think the bear grease has more of the bear oil in it then the bear lard but I am using it interchangeably here in my article. The gun oil is used in different aspects of the long-rifle use and care. The gun oil is the oil which comes to the top of the bear grease / bear lard and is then poured off. With the making of bear grease / bear lard and gun oil I use bear fat that I trimmed off all the trimmings and discarded the trimmings. I then ground the bear fat into teeny pieces with my meat grinder. With that finished I was ready to rendered the bear fat to make the bear grease / bear lard. I placed the bear fat into an electric roaster or my roasting pan in the oven and cooked the fat for hours. As the membrane which holds the fat together is separated from the grease or oil it turns to cracklings. When the bear grease / bear lard is finished, the cracklings will turn brown and sink to the bottom and float back to the top. I needed to keep stirring the bear fat periodically so the bear fat wouldn’t burn. When I decided the bear grease / bear lard was all cooked I strained the cracklings from the bear grease / bear lard and put it thru my lard press. Then I put the bear grease / bear lard in jars and seal it. The cracklings are good to eat for a snack or to put out for the birds. That was the process of turning the bear fat into bear grease / bear lard. The ending product of the bear lard is no better then beginning product of the bear fat. The bear fat must be made immediately into bear grease/ bear lard. Bear fat will spoil in less then 3 days unless it is frozen until you can get the bear fat processed. Depending on what the bear was eating the bear fat will not be good. If the bear fat smells bad the bear lard will smell bad. When I rendered out the bear lard my house smelled like I was making homemade donuts! Bear grease / bear lard is very very greasy and does make the best popcorn, pie crust, biscuits and fried chicken or fried eggs! I am not providing bear lard and bear oil as a food item even though I process the bear lard in a clean environment. We do use the bear lard in cooking when we have an abundance of the bear lard and don’t need it for our leather dressing. Bear grease / bear lard can also be used for medicinal purposes and for hair oil, hand lotion, or for chapped lips. An old folk lore has it that if a man greases his head with bear oil he will grow an abundance of hair! There can be several layers in the bear grease when you process it. The bear oil comes to the top, and then the bear grease / bear lard is heavier so it is at the bottom. After the canned bear grease / bear lard sets for awhile is when the bear oil comes to the top. There is a mystery with bear lard. The weather has a lot to do with bear grease / bear lard and bear oil. You can use the bear grease / bear lard to tell the weather as some folks use bear grease as a barometer to tell the weather. I have a chart for telling the weather posted below. It is free upon request with any order ( or you may copy it yourself.) If the oil clouds up it can be heated again and it will turn back to the bear oil state. I try to get the bear oil as pure as possible but bear oil is hard to predict!
Our leather dressing is only made with the bear lard and pure beeswax. I use our leather dressing to waterproof our leather pouches and leather possible bags, ball pouches, flint wallets, and frizzon covers. Our homemade leather dressing can also be used for hand lotion, chap stick, hair grease, or on your boots.
