Anthrocon 2022 - Fursuiting 101 with Gale Frostbane

[@Randerson2409]

Videos like this are the reason why Gale is known as "Con Mom". She so perfectly embodies a mother with a group of completely uncontrollable toddlers, and it's glorious

[@KitwanaLion]

This panel wouldn't work without Gale! She's a true class act and a very fine person all around!

[@iamarizonaball2642]

@@KitwanaLionbit of an odd question, but as an Arizonan like me, who has a fursona which is a saguaro cactus porcupine hybrid, how much do you think a custom fursuit for it with a custom cooling system, dirt dust and sand filters, special prescription lenses, since yes I do wear glasses, and other features would cost?

[@KitwanaLion]

@@iamarizonaball2642 Wow, that's certainly a VERY unique, creative fursuit project! So, keep in mind, no one has invented a portable A/C system yet. What you'll want to get for your cooling needs while fursuiting is an EZCooldown vest, which has inserts that can be activated by storing in a freezer or ice water, providing you about 1-2 hours of cooling while performing. Such a vest will set you back around $200. Full-body fursuits nowadays, especially complex ones like yours will easily run north of $5,000, with no upper end. I haven't seen dust/sand filters on any fursuit or mascot costumes yet, so I'm not sure whether such a device could be integrated at all. Good luck making your plans a reality!

Wow there are so many fursuiters! Way more than 2019 and yes I agree GALE NEEDS A BIGGER ROOM NEXT YEAR!! So awesome to see Fursuiting 101 back at anthrocon!

[@shinlucario]

official number is around 9,600 attendees this year

@@shinlucario and 2562 fursuiters! That’s a lot of fur lol

This seems like so much fun! However I could never stand infront of so many people I would die from anxiety

One day, one day I’m gonna go to one of these and hopefully meet everyone.

I laughed so hard at this. I wish I was there to see in person. But, atleast we all have this video. Gale is amazing and the fursuiters are amazing. And this video is awesome! Also GIVE GALE A BIGGER ROOM NEXT YEAR!!

[@LanderFoxx]

38:55 I see Gale finally lost it and tried to get revenge on Jib.

[@goldenwolf2462]

Lol these panels are just gale descending into madness every time I love it

[@DoiInthanon1897]

I lost it there XD

[@deltaredwolf]

I love Gale's energy!! This is awesome!

[@MelvisBarksy]

It was so much fun being involved in this panel again! I would've stayed the whole time if I wasn't completely worn out halfway through, but the time I had with all these cute faces was great ❤️🧡

[@Randerson2409]

Your suit is absolutely gorgeous!

[@bluegold1026]

Awesome suit! Wish I had gotten to say hi to you at AC! I was in the front row for this panel

[@RockySheperd]

I can't believe Kire did a cartwheel. That's so awesome👍👍

[@Nemesiss9999]

GALE NEEDS A BIGGER ROOM - and I´m happy that Anthrocon is back.

[@CFerret88]

Great to see Chipper again! 🐺❤

[@butter_the_husky]

GALE NEEDS A BIGGER ROOM NEXT YEAR!!! 😂 sending love from England to anthrocon! So sad I couldn't go this year. Maybe next year?

[@ajgamingfun]

I was at Anthrocon and wanted to go to this panel but missed it due to being preoccupied with other stuff. Thank you for recording it so I could see this fantastically crazy group of suiters and their funny schenanigans along with Gale!

[@KitwanaLion]

Sure thing, that's why I do these videos. I fact, Gale wanted to have me as one of her videographers again, along with Barton Fox - which was a pleasure for me to serve!

[@bluegold1026]

I was there! I had been looking forward to seeing this in person for months and I got a front row seat to it. So much fun!

[@BlazeTheRabbox]

Honestly, just watching these vids makes me feel like im there even though im not, i do plan on going to a fur con one year though, ive always wanted to!

[@strawberrylemonadelioness]

Fursuiting 101 is always fun to watch!

[@zigorously]

Thank you so much for taking this, Kitwana! This was my first time ever being IN Gale's insanity of a panel (as Milo, the glasses and nub doggo), and I had SOOOO much fun getting to goof around with all these good fluffs :D

[@KitwanaLion]

I am not Kijani, although we're very good friends & do similar stuff, actually even have been GoHs at ANW 2019 together. However, Kijani does have a shortened version of this panel on his KZbin, which I do recommend checking out as well if you're short on time and want to see the highlights only.

[@zigorously]

@@KitwanaLion Shoot, and I knew that too! I just watched Kijani's, so apparently my brain saw "lion" and forgot which one 😅 Sorry! The highlights are fun, but it's also cool to be able to see the whole panel.

[@jaredg5947]

I wanted to go to this panel and I missed it. Thank goodness someone recorded it

[@shockabroda3055]

Thanks for filming this I always find gales fursuiting 101 hilarious 😂

[@EigenRovak]

Here I am, among all the chaos, casually playing rock-paper-scissors with everyone

[@Terkina__]

THANK YOU so much for uploading. I miss you and all the fun. Would you allow me to show that on my Twitch today? With proper credits of course.

[@KitwanaLion]

Absolutely, Terkina! This video is meant to be shared!

[@churuidleaf7794]

Gale Frostbane and The Fursuiters are awesome at this panel. I enjoyed it.

[@DarkSoul-zg3fi]

i think it was really lovely that Gale checked up on that red panda suiter after they fell, that shows how much she cares about them all

[@spirit9686]

7:49 My favorite is suits that are this flexible. I just think seeing fursuiters pry their mouths open to reveal a sweaty ski mask is hilarious and transcendent

[@DaEpikMan]

When I’m older, I’m going to this… or go to a convention similar to this… because they are very cool

[@Bubblestheroo]

I was the pink kangaroo suiter near the end!!!

[@PJ-qv1ce]

my favorite video on youtube, im glad Anthrocon is back!

[@punkyferret2997]

This is truly the funniest fursuiting 101 panel i've ever seen

[@faizan0va.]

I hope there's fursuiting 101 this year 2023

[@u-u8449]

OMG I’m a teen furry and my parents will never aprove so I watch this and it makes me feel so happy and I can’t wait till I move out and be me! And you bring me happiness about going to furry cons in the future!

[@chaotic_kobold]

This is my favorite panel! I’ve never been to a furcon myself, but I’ve been watching these every year. I hope to go in the next year or 2 though!!

[@jawsfurryadventures]

I wanted to go see this live but I had something that was scheduled before it and missed it. It seems so much fun. Gale is an amazing host

[@matesematese1572]

The two laws of furry conventions: 1: it ain't a Majira panel if it isn't late 2: fursuiting 101 will descend into madness without Gale's input.
