split it from the tail to neck on the bottom. kinda like you do a deer. then cut the legs up to the split down the middle. once u start u can figure it out on your own its easy. you nust need a small, very sharp knife. after u slpit it down the middle and on the legs cut off the feet and head (cut off the tail if u dont want it) once the head is off u can ushally just pull the skin right off like u do when ur normally skinning one. if theres no vedios on skinning a squirrel, look for a vedio of a rabbit or a deer. there all esenshally the same thing for all of them.
hope this helped!
good hunting and merry christmas!
There is that or if you want to case skin it you will need to make cut from the back foot around the vent to the back other foot. The cut the feet off and peel the skin off just like a sock. When you get close to the head a knife might be required. When you reah the front legs you just need to pull them out. If you can find a Case skinning coyote video it will be similar. Good Luck.

Go on Youtube. They have a lot of detailed videos that show it step by step. Thats how I learned.
Yes, definitely get on youtube and check things out. They have about 20 different ways of skinning a squirrel shown in hundreds of videos. Better explanation than anyone can do through these text answers.
i would tube it
There is a jig you can make to skin them pretty easy. You could then save the pelt, I think it is in the F&S survival book or the gun book they just made.
