I did a hog once with a friend. Asked for a small one and got a 376 pound Hampshire. Several old farmers asked if we had a scalding pot and scrapers and when I said no, we'd skin it, they laughed. You can't skin a hog with a good sharp knife. OTOH I knew that a cheap knife sharpened with a file would slice through lard like it was butter.

Cost of everything including the bullet, spices and wrapping paper was 66 cents a pound. That didn't include the lard and the yummy pork rind we ate while rendering the lard.
