Also depends on how many skins you want to tan etc. I spoke to them yesterday, as always most helpful. Their kit will let you do two large hides I think. I have opted to just get the tanning agent from them and the other bits I will buy myself as i require. You only need salt, a pickle agent such as citric acid or oxalic acid..so really cheap to buy yourself off ebay. Then use one of their powered tanning agents, I am steering away from the chrome stuff as it can colour the hide id if gets on the hair, they have other stuff thats just as good.
