I used gum tree bark to tan a goat skin, took a good long while for it to tan through and I had to keep going back to the park and nicking more bark to mix up more solution. I have done a rabbit skin with the leftovers too. Look up skill cult on youtube for bark tanning info and long jibberjabbery videos. If you are really interested I can probably get off my bum and post some pictures.
kero and baking soda tans a skin,but as others said if it gets damp it will go off.I had to clean my walls at Mum and Dads house after I was away in the NZ Army one winter and the skins went bad. Drying it is easy like @P38 said but rabbit and hare skins are paper thin when dryed and will tear easy.The last small skin I got tanned professionally only cost $5 but that was a few years back. And welcome to the forum @mehtat

Ive used this method on goats too.
Works great
Leder kits work great too

LEDER TANNING UTILITY KIT | Trade Me
I use one of these kits, done heaps of skins and lasted about 15 years to date. The chemicals don't go off.
Well here is the outcome of my fist rabbit I skinned and prepped. I decided to play around and make a keyring using some of my used shotgun shells as well
It's pretty rough but was fun to play experiment with.
Awesome job, make up a dozen and chuck them on trade me
Good on you. Well done.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
