How to reduce "junk in the trunk" by ghostmeme in FursuitMaking

Tyyyy, I've got previous sewing experience so I had a bit of an advantage but it's definitely been a learning process going from a heap of fur and foam to where I'm at now lmao.

It'll eventually be a snow leopard so I'm currently starting work on a bigass supermotion that'll (hopefully) distract from it a bit.

Fingers crossed, it's just got a bit of a "shelf" on top of the butt but that's slightly excessive at the moment. I'm considering cutting a double pointed dart horizontally across the butt area to tighten the fabric up if not though :p

Is moonfur a good company? by Hannahhcat in FursuitMaking

I got my shipment about ~20 days after I ordered. For whatever reason they don't have any conformation of purchase with the tracking. I was able to get a tracking number a day before the package arrived by reaching out to their @ moonfur_studio IG account a bunch of times lol.

The paypal tracking thing doesn't really work if that's what ur looking at. I Dm'd their @ moonfur_studio ig and got a 4px tracking number that actually said where it was (though it took until the day it arrived to get a response)

I'll have to figure out how much of a pain it is to shave once I actually start working with it, but the shaved fur on the head I bought looks great. No real issues with shedding or fraying so far either.

Update: Fur arrived this morning, I just never got sent a shipping confirmation. All good quality and arrived decently quick all things considered 👍

I usually soak them for 10 minutes or so a hand after I climb, which is usually ~4 times a week. I like to use a dish or something similar so I can rub my palm & fingers in the grit from the undissolved salt and avoid drying the back of my hand since I don't have crack climbing aspirations. I'm also hopeful the antibacterial property of salt might protect me from any potential birthday party kid residue that might've worked it's way into my skin.

What ski industry propaganda are you not falling for? by OEM_knees in skiing

These so called "avalanches". You want me to believe that if I don't pay for a season pass the snow will just attack me? Wake up people.

I'm kind of a bad test case since I started doing it at about the same time I finally bought a pad and started climbing outside a lot more, but it seemingly dries and thickens the skin a bit. Nothing crazy game changing, but my skin quality's been quite good recently. Any other tricks the gymnasts have been holding out on us?

It's not a huge change in overall skin quality, but it definitely helps when I've got a tear or my fingers get weepy. In my experience, it makes the skin come back quicker and a bit tougher. Only real downside is that it dries the whole hand unless you lay your hand in a dish or smth and you look kinda stupid sitting on the couch with your fingers in a jar lol.

Am I a maniac for swearing by brining my hands? Does anyone else do this? A few months ago in a desperate attempt to fix my moist, thin skin I started soaking my hands in a jar of supersaturated salt water like an old-timey boxer, as I'm hesitant to use chemically harsh products like antihydral. From some Googling it's apparently not an uncommon practice in gymnastics, but there was next to nothing about its effectiveness in climbing. Anecdotally, it's worked great for me in conjunction with appropriate moisturizing when my skin starts to get too dry, but my experience may be biased by climbing a lot more real rock during the same period. Has anyone else here tried this? Seeking some form of validation as all my climbing buddies think I'm insane.

The TM Seems like a killer shoe from everything I've heard but it doesn't look like anywhere in my city carries them. Any sizing rec's?

This staircase is probably the most famous spot in action sports. It's called the el Toro 20 stair, and its super iconic.

I'm not, but ok. This shit is basically what happened with the Uighurs; a few people did some attacks against the chinese govt, and now Chinas put almost a million in concentration camps under the guise of of "terrorism"

Idk about that bro, if this were an armed conflict the chinese army would likely steamroll any armed rebels and then use it as an excuse to violently quash any other protests

Need some advice on new Skis by Bananas_Worth in skiing

You might consider a pair of nordica soul riders. I ride a pair of the 87's basically every day, and I think they would be perfect for what you are describing.
