We soak burlap sacks in boiling water and then place on pig for 15 minutes or so. Then use a large knife and just scrape the hair off. Re-apply sacks as needed.
They started just below the hocks and cut the skin in 3 inch strips all the way to the head. As fast as the first guy got the cuts made, a second one just pulled the strips off. I Their method is the only way I do it anymore. Sometimes you get a tough spot that requires a little knife work but usually it pulls tight off.
