Becoming a Mountain Man

So I'm in the middle of tanning a couple of deer hides with a friend and it's kind of cool. I'm not sure I want to become a full fledged mountain man, but I'd like to make a buckskin shirt and some leggings. I'll need to do about 4 more deer to get enough hide to make all that stuff, but I'm ok with getting there little by little. Making a buckskin takes a grotesque ammount of effort, but the result will hopefully be kind of cool. I"ll keep you posted on how the hide turns out. So far I've got both hides scraped clean, inside and out, so worst case even if I bail at this point I'll still have some rawhide to play with.
