This article on natural and artificial casings is published by the Food & Agricultural Organization of the United Nations - an interesting read including how natural casings are prepared.

That is a good page. I think the biggest requirement for preparing casings is an abundant water supply.

AND it needs to be clean water. The waste water would be a terrible pollutant.

Not a job that I would want! Lucky for me one of the local grocery stores sells their own sausage and also sells the cleaned and pretubed hog casing.
This is a page worth reading, thanks Shuswap.
