Which of your tanning products would you recomend for a beginner to use on a first time fox?

Hi Jake - try the EZ-2000 Kit. It's an excellent all--around tanning Kit that will handle anything from an Ermine to Bear! It contains enough material to tan 2 full WT Deerskins - so it should be more than enough to do 6-8 Fox skins - dependig on their size. The only extras you'll need is Salt and Baking Soda.
One word of caution though! After skinning out the fox, fleshing and turning the lips, ears, nose and eye areas - DRY IT THOROUGHLY! When dry - it can safely be stored for several months until you get the Kit. Then rehydrate and pickle it, to begin the tanning process.
