Forest Creature Haunts Reno! Halloween 2019

[@billleikam1367]

That is so incredible. I love what you did. All the way through I thought, "And she was out there with me setting up trail cameras a couple months ago doing research. Wow, so glad to have seen that side of you." I am honored that I know you.

Wow that costume is incredible, too bad I've already sunk about a hundred dollars into a costume already this year, I love these 4 legged stilt spirits! They always get a reaction out of people and I would love to own one someday. Outstanding work you did on your costume btw I really love it

[@jdhatfield723]

Thanks so much for the feedback! 4-legged costumes are a lot of fun to build and even more fun to interact with people in. Look forward to the new one I've been working on all year -- It's going to blow this 2019 design out of the water :)

I used to live in Reno but moved to California years ago. Halloween was always the best in The Biggest Little City - so many of the houses were decorated and themed so elaborately. Wish I could have seen this amazing costume in person!

[@kathleenujueta726]

I am so making this my costume this year! I loved the effort that you put into this, great work! Also! Thanks so much for the tips that you added in the video!

[@mountaindewdude76]

That's really incredible! Really nice work!!!

[@Rymdraket]

How much did this cost? *NEED TO KNOW*

[@alotofbadideas8]

How did you like use the straps under the foam? im making one of these just need a tip

[@jdhatfield723]

In this costume I sewed the foam directly onto a hoodie, though that design was pretty warm so I've since started using a leaf blower harness with backpack straps instead. Hope this helps!

This is awesome! What did you use for the stilts tho?

[@jdhatfield723]

Thanks! The ones on my legs are a pair of kangaroo stilts (built for running and jumping,) and the ones on my arms are a pair of super tall crutches.

[@LordDustinDeWynd]

VERY COOL!

[@alanthordsen214]

I love it🤩

[@That_Stilt_Guy]

i love it 😻

[@beastmodegaming6334]

I am building that

[@SheaJoyner-zd5nz]

Where did you get the stilts

[@jdhatfield723]

I already had the crutches for the arms, and a friend of mine found the running stilts in a junkyard. There are definitely better places to look for stilts, though.

[@opaleye394]

Is it hard to see where your going with everything in front of your face?

[@jdhatfield723]

Absolutely haha. I could look down at my feet to see where I was stepping, but needed a spotter to let me know what was around me so I didn’t walk into anything or anybody!

[@opaleye394]

@@jdhatfield723 Thanks so much! I love your costume and it looks so great, you did an amazing job making it look natural!
