Thank you for all of the feedback everyone. @ifoz Thank you for the advice. I have repaired my items and it works brilliantly. Unfortunately I am just now grasping the importance of flax. @dakko and @Venusgate Thank you for taking the time to test. I have checked and if soaked first it will give you huge scraped hide, not rawhide unfortunately. I will report to the issue tracker. Thank you once again everyone.

Hi @mattk2003, how are you? I am very new to the game, so unfortunately I cannot offer you any advice in this regard. I have friends that I regularly play games like this with over the internet and the easiest way we have found to achieve this is with a VPN. Products like tailscale (which we use) or zero tier one allow you to create a "LAN" between computers over the internet. I believe this is similar to hamachi, but I don't know it very well. They would essentially function as if they were plugged into the same network. If you are doing this, please be aware of the security risks involved :). I hope this helps somewhat.

Thank you everyone for the input. I will try to answer all in order. @Frisk DreemurrThank you, I will give this a go as soon as I come across one and revert back. @ifozThank you, when looking at the recipes it almost seems as if some of the old content is still there that needs to be removed. When clicking on the item there is no "obtained by" section. @dakkoThank you, I also believe this should be possible with the pelt, but the recipe for the mantle requires the raw hide (not oiled/cured to become a pelt). @VenusgateI am unable to get the head removed from the hide with any knife (that I have access to) unfortunately, which is the part I do not understand. I tried copper shears as well. If you have any advice regarding this, please let me know. You are correct in that you can throw it into a barrel with limewater to get the prepared headless hide. I have made a lot of leather this way, but only noticed after the fact that leather isn't used to keep you warm. Thank you for the reply.

Hi Everyone, Noob here and really enjoying the game. I just got to my first winter and now I would like to make a rawhide mantle. One of the recipe options is to use a knife/shears with a Raw Hide (huge), but I don't know how to obtain this item. I have killed a brown bear and a black bear and have both their hides with heads. From what I am reading you are able to remove the head after curing with fat (not sure about this), but that would mean it would change to a pelt if I'm not mistaken? Am I missing something? I am just going to make this out of small hides for now, but would really like to know how to do this since there seem to be other situations where this item could be useful for crafting as well. If this cannot be done it seems the only use for these hides are either the bear armour (I have leather which seems to be better) and leather making. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you in advance for any help.
