Besides being a suiter, I’d too love to offer being a handler. And usually, the best handlers are those that suited themselves.

MAKE SURE TO REMIND THE FURSUIT HANDLERS (ALL OF THEM) THAT IF YOU END UP SUFFERING A HEAT STROKE OR FAINT THAT THEY TAKE YOU OUT OF YOUR COSTUME/FURSUIT AND MAKE SURE TO REMIND THEM MORE THEN ONCE OF EVERY SINGLE IMPORTANT THING UNTIL IT IS INGRAINED IN THEIR MEMORY!!! Its worth making sure they memorize some of it, rather then memorizing nothing and having your costume/fursuit get ruined by errors that can be easily avoided.

I've been a handler for my twin during one convention and these tips are definitely useful for future ones. I've got two tips from that one experience however: - in your bag you should also bring a fan, especially if it's hot out. there were a lot of moments when i simply had to hold a small handfan directed at my twin's face so they could cool down - be prepared to take pictures for people. at one point there was a literal queue of people at this con waiting to take a picture with my twin, all handing me their phone, one after the other. i was happy to do so though, cause seeing how many people appreciate the suit my twin had made made me feel very proud.

that one dislike is a handler who did things wrong and got „fired”

As a handler I 100% agree with all this👌 a small trick I have too handlers who are attending bigger walks. It’s a good idea to assign 1 ore 2 handlers to always be the last ones to go when walking from one place to another😁 make sure they know exactly how many fursuiters there are so they can do a count and make sure no one is left behind😊 and also tell them if one of the suitors have left the group with a handler so they don’t look for them. It also keeps you in a group an prevents the slower suitors from getting lost👌 also make sure all the suiters know who it is so they know to follow the directions on catching up with the rest👍

First time fursuiting over 10 years ago without a handler and had all the classics- tail pulling, walked into a garbage can, some kid kicked me in the shin, I brought NO water, a few seems popped. Ahhh the gold old days

On the topic of kids, Kids can be surprisingly naive about costumes especially if you look real and genuine. I remember long time ago I used to take part in a reading to kids program when I worked at target where we'd go to elementary schools and read storybooks to kids. To better engage with them I wore a tail and a pair of nekomimi ears, those kind that move by reading your brainwaves. In one classroom I was sitting down in front of a group and I really exaggerated a lot of emotions in the reading of the story to kick off the ears, so when I acted scared the ears drooped, when I was excited they wiggled and I knew how to time my responses with the occasional lil twitch they made. The kids were mesmerized by me. One little girl saw me answer someone with a joke, smile and wink and then ear did a little twitch just as I planned. The girl seemed kind of scared and asked in awe "What are you?" It was all I could do to keep from laughing and she had to be maybe 10 or so. Then in the last classroom I was standing to read so I turned profile so kids could see the tail I had on. As we were getting ready to leave this one little boy jumped up out of his seat, bolted to me like he was fire and just hugged my leg tightly. It was so heartwarming but also kinda scary cause I didn't want him grabbing my tail or anything.

First comment because I’m a Patreon. TBH, to be honest, you have improved a lot in your content even since the previous video you did on fursuit handling. And thank you for addressing about suiting around drunks. And especially the ones that are furry haters. Like that happened to me once in Sydney on my way to a furry rave a couple of blocks down from and during HCFC. Long story and it’s something I really don’t recommend any other fursuiter to experience. And worse I was solo suiting which I would never recommend any other fursuiter to do for the sake of their safety. Also can I add that as a fursuit handler, I stress that some of us suiters don’t really like to be called by our human names when in suit. And it can be for various reasons that are likely should be valid and respected. And with that it’s respectful to call the person by the name of a suit they are in. Like if I were to be a handler for Pocari Roo as an example, I address the suiter as Pocari and same as if I were out suiting as Bruzo. I only answer to that name and not my human ego. So even if you know the human (real) name of the suiter, it would be best if you could get consent from the suiter to do that. And as fursuiters, we need to appreciate them for giving their time and efforts for keeping us safe while our in public. And respect them while they do their job in that role.

I realized just how little fursuiters can see when I was at a panel that was floor seating space only, so i was sitting on the floor as you do, and a fur in suit who had wandered from their handler boofed their big paws right into me. I also discovered that it is incredibly soft and comfy to have a big fursuit paw accidentally boof into your back. they were very apologetic and it was a funny moment all around

I got my first head while tabling at a con and came out from behind the table to receive it/talk to my maker, then immediately proceeded to try to re-enter the behind-table area with the head still on and stepped on my neighbor's supply suitcase. They were very good sports and I didn't break anything but I felt so bad!

here's a story for you! I was fursuiting at a school event! I was walking around interacting with the 20-something kids that were there (and not scared of me) My brother (11 years old) was handling for me! he had a bag on with my phone, water, extra clothing, and other things- My brother noticed me starting to slow down, he grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side, but obviously at least 5 of the kids followed, he explained that even big pink fluffy cats need to have water, and needless to say they understood, some of them even wanted to help! I had a lot of kids that were telling youngers to stop pulling at me, and even this little boy brought some water to me! (I didn't drink any and kindly declined) So I ended up having at least 8 handlers for that day! I got many pictures and it ended with a huge group hug from the kids, and even a few teachers when it was time to leave. One of my best experiences!

They often faint because the blood circulation breaks down and the head isn't getting enough oxygen. Beside the fact they have to put the head off, lay the person on the ground before they fall uncontrolled and lift the legs up so the blood stuck in the lower body gets back. This often helps to bring the person back and no ambulance is needed. If the person is fainted for several minutes, stops breathing or complications occur, a doctor is needed. Hope this will help someone one day ^^ *medical assistance flies away*

HANDLER TIP: HAND SIGNALS - I've seen these being used before and I thought it would be important to say but you might also want to arrange to make some hand signals such as if say the suiter needs a drink of water, they could make a drinking motion or if you see a tripping hazard you could gesture to your suiter to step over

Handler trick : In dark area ,dont be scared to take your fursuiters PAW or at least ,cling on their jacket !! Fursuitng limit also the amount of light you can see and darker place might seem pitch black for some ! so,always be prepare to guide with a gentle hand

I'm fortunate enough that my fiance is my go-to handler while I'm in suit. He's held my paw a few times, and not only was it sweet but it was a good way for him to guide me around things. And your point about darker lighting is very true. If the lighting is dim out of suit, it's even darker in suit. Cheers!

I don't have any friends that are furries in my area, but my non-furry friends are trustworthy enough for me to ask to be my handler. I've actually been making a plan to make a handler kit and even a badge for whoever is going to be my handler lol. Badge design will depend on which suit I'll be wearing, I'm going to work on a couple personal suits, but the back of MY badge will state any important info needed like the fact that I have social anxiety and am anemic so I tend to have dizzy spells. My fiance has two of those insulated cooler backpacks and I'm going to yoink the blue one for snacks and drinks since he's keeping his DnD books in the red one lol. First aid kit and sewing kit for suit repairs are a must.

Awesome vid! I've never handles for someone, but I've had a couple friends handle for me an MFF and an anime con in St. Louis. I would LOVE to public fursuit here in town, but finding a handler is a bit difficult. Still, I appreciate this vid, which was fully and very informative. I hope I can handle for someone someday. :-)

I actually once was public fursuiting, and then I, and some kids were running to the zip line, and I accidentally backhanded a kid in the face with my paw. Oh god did I feel bad!!! The kid was okay thank god, but they fell over...! Hahaha

my sister just straight up won’t do it, but my dad is usually my handler. he does a fantastic job! he’s also a medical professional so that also really helps. He loves advertising my fursuit business and he loves to talk to people about which character i am (i own 2 suits). He knows that i also can’t see very well (obviously lol) so he walks either next to me or slightly in front of me. I’m very lucky to have such a supporting parent who is willing to do that for me when i’m fursuiting, it’s equally as rewarding to him because he loves doing it!

"Suiters misbehaving" *insert any clip of mosfet wearing Maverick while beta just has to watch on in horror*

While I haven't gone public suiting yet my mum is my handler and she's honestly amazing. I have autism and suffer from anxiety and ptsd and when we're out and about she always makes sure I'm okay. In short she's honestly the best handler I could ever have

Pocari:be aware of kids because they pull tails Me who has a corgi fursona with a bob tail:hehehe

Oh the look down first before walking forward method has definitely prevented me from yeeting kids into the atmosphere. More than once XD

A great remake of the topic!! My wife is an amazing handler for me when I'm suiting and has become sort of an all purpose handler for other costumed folks as well! She helped everyone with limited mobility or senses during masquerade at the last con, even though she was only required to help me! She watches my surroundings and me, and ensures I'm staying hydrated and at least snacking. We have an insulated backpack made for hiking with water bottles that she wears, with pouches for phone and such, a water and ice hydration pouch with drinking noodle, snacks, and emergency ice packs! She is great at doing photos as well :) She is my everything and an incredible handler, and several local furry friends know she is reliable!

I watched your old video and I think this new one is a big improvement!

Ok I’m not a fursuiter (yet) but I’ve always thought of this and you should try a hockey water bottle! Specifically the ones with a big long straw built in! It’s made to be stuck into a helmet and some of them hold a lot of water so I feel like it would be super helpful when trying to stick a water bottle in a fursuit head

Pocari: I made another video, but that was *three years ago* Me: wow, I've been watching pocari for at least three years?

The only time I've really gone public suiting was on Halloween this year with my best friend and her sibling; she helped me to navigate everything and pick up some of the candy that I couldn't grab with my paws xD I don't know what I would've done without her.

Here’s a quote I have “screw the children’s dreams have pointy tails”

This is great! One of my friends is going to be my fursuit handler, so this will be so helpful for them!

Hi Pocari roo love your vids!

yeah one time my 5 year old brother pulled my tail off the belt loop while i was wearing it- and i dont even have a full suit

My normal handler is my mom but where I normally suit at is odd but it's fun is a wrestling promotion. I did ask the promoter and booker before hand if I can suit there and they said that we could see how it went. From there it went well and the promotion loved it and I had a blast. Since then the promotion has relocated to new building and we have more fans and kids coming around. I laugh at one thing though sometimes the kids of the wrestlers act as my handlers now when they used to be tail pullers. These kids talk to those who pull my tail or tug on me or even run into my legs and let them I can't really see them and that it's not ok to pull on tails. It's a odd thing to see but it works.

ok so i took your advice, and i was fursuit handling for 4 of my furry friends. im new to the fandom and they had been there for a while, but they said i was really good at handling UwU thank you so much pocari, for this video!

fursuiters: **fursuiting at a park responsibly** child: **plays bop it with the suiter**

Being a handler is what I would recommend for people who don’t have a suit, but still want to be a really active part of community, or have friends that want to go fursuiting.

I got the notification as soon as this was uploaded and was about to watch when I was ASSAULTED by the presence of some huge spider, not fun

I just heard your intro song blasting from the living room.

My mom has always been me and my dads handler when we cosplay. Comes in handy when I'm wearing that big mandalorian helmet lol. When I start fursuiting, my dad or mom might be my handler because they have experience in cosplaying.

My sister is going to be my handler and I am going to be hers. It's a win-win. We also set up a system if we get in these types of situations.

I love these videos. Also, love that you've called it 're-bottled'!

Hi pocari I am a young furry and you helped me be more open to the furry fandom and I'm actually getting a raptor mask in the mail so I'm going to have a fursuit to!😁😄🦖

I love you pocari!!

another tip for handers walkie talkies great when some need a restroom break and you can’t fallow them in or breaks off during a con. If possible try to by the small ones that can be worn like head set in side the head. Keep in mind however that this may not be suitable for all suits and to discuss it with its owner

It’s also beneficial to ask if the suited is a silent suited or not. If they are you’ll have to learn a bit about the suit so you can speak on their behalf.

I fully agree that suiters need handlers in public. Unfortunately I experienced handling a suiter behaving badly. It was fine at first but then at the end of the meet, he thought it would be a good idea to try doing pull ups in suit on an awning. The awning came crashing down and although no one was hurt, he had to pay for the damages and it gave our group a bad rep for a while.

your the first person i subscribed to :3

Adorable thumbnail btw

Like the great captain blast'em ones said if someone bothering you the way to do it is ask them politely but firmly to leave

Hi I love your vids

Hi, yeah, handler here! You can never be too helpful. Even stating the obvious like, they're a few trees up ahead, is worth saying.

I have a confession... I’ve been fursuiting for a few years now and I’ve never had a handler. I usually suit with other people around that i know anyways (but not all the time), but i just dont really feel a need for a handler i guess. I’m not afraid to break the magic so i can usually resolve situations on my own and i carry everything i could need on me in a backpack i can access easily so I don’t need someone to give me water or anything. Also my suit has great vision (it’s pretty much the same level as not wearing a fursuit bc of the eye placement which is pretty cool) so I don’t have to worry about bumping into stuff. All I’m saying is it’s possible to fursuit without a handler and be alright lol

Yo hay you are the best you are a massive inspireing to me like I am so so happy that you are a thing like God! And when time he's tuff or I get really scared(Bad insity) I calm a little bit down when I watch you're vids. 😥 Thanks
