ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Buckskinning

Buckskinning is when people dress up like they did a long time ago, when there were no stores to buy clothes from.

The people who dress up this way usually wear clothes made from animal skins, like deer or elk. They also make their own clothes from these skins using special tools, kind of like a craft.

These "buckskinners" also like to do activities that people did back then, like hunting and cooking their own food over a fire. Some of them even build their own little homes out in the woods, like people did a long time ago.

It's like pretending to live back in time when things were different, and it can be a lot of fun!
