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

[@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

[@deltaredwolf]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@otaketakemoto5095]

GALE NEED A BIGGER ROOM NEXT YEAR!! l'm glad everyone back on anthrocon 2022 l think this con is the best of all the cons because we have miss this so much and there's so energy after been waiting for long time!

Great to see Chipper again! 🐺❤

[@jaredg5947]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@Nemesiss9999]

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

[@shockabroda3055]

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

[@strawberrylemonadelioness]

Fursuiting 101 is always fun to watch!

[@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!

[@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

[@RockySheperd]

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

[@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.

[@HundTheHound]

There was also a panel about fursuit handling as well, seems like we got it covered at AC

[@EigenRovak]

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

[@matesematese1572]

Kitwana wow lots cute floofs great footage too 🥰👍🐾🦊

[@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

[@DaEpikMan]

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

[@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!!

[@PJ-qv1ce]

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

[@Bubblestheroo]

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

[@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

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.
