    Watertight Sealskin Bag

    Just saw a TV program which showed how eskimos make waterproof sealskin bags. They club the seal (no spears or harpoons which might pierce the skin), remove the skull, and then peel the skin back (slowly) to remove the carcass. They end up with a perfectly intact skin, completely watertight, that they use to store oil. Unsettling to us folks in the lower 48, but very effective for the eskimos. Would make one hell of a sporran.

    Saint Nick should know what the Eskimos are up to, if anyone does.
