PUBLIC FURSUITING [The Bottle Ep21] 

Hey all. I know a lot of you dont check my twitter so I'll pin a comment here before all the WERS DA NEW VIDEYAS comments flood in. Unfortunately we've had a death in the family so I'll be flying home to Tasmania for a couple of weeks. Videos will be on hold during this time. Apologies all, but I hope you can understand. See ya when I get back c:

"Can I take a photo?" Deer in the headlights. Deer in the headlights! *DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS!!!*

Is it weird that i am terrified of those mascot suits, but i love fursuits?

i feel like if a lot more people watched pocari they'd probably become furries because she makes fursuiting/being a furry in general seem like the equivalent to winning the lottery

I didn't even think about non scary realistic suits appearing to actually be scary to nonfurs!

I public suited for the first time a couple weeks ago at a local arts festival. It was a ton of fun, so many cute kids and a lot of fun interactions. Touchy drunk people were what we had a the most issues with but thankfully we had a good handler. It did happen where someone shoved a kid into my arms for a photo and I just gripped him for dear life, thankfully I didn't drop him but I'm never doing that again :P

my handler is a off duty officer. in my state off duty still have arrest power and same use of power.

I fursuited at a mall and the gaurds had no problem. In fact, they smiled and waved! That's when I only had Ramen the wolf.

Beautyofthebass is a good example for being scary literally bass scared the living hell out of my little brother he cried every time he saw her!

please mention tail pulling, when you fursuit at a park children may mess around with your suit, how do you prevent that

Fursuit Handling is very important

4am but this video is more important

I had this kid shoot a paintball gun at me while I was in suit. When I took off my head and yelled at them, they looked so mortified. Gladly, the paint didn't get in my fur, but still, it hurt.... :>

Fursuiting near the beach in the middle of summer in Rhode Island *GREAT IDEA*

Children are definitely a big thing to be mindful of when public suiting. And it's not just limited by age, I have had five-year olds cry just because I was in the same building as them and babies grab ahold of my hands and not let go. It's varies from child to child. Also be mindful of your claws, horns, and wings if you have em.

Worth it to be up at 2am to catch an episode of The Bottle tbh Once I save up enough for my fursuit, I'm totally gonna go public suiting!! I'd love to see the kids reactions seeing basically a huge cartoon character walking around :)

DO NOT TAKE THE CHILD do not lay ahold of the small human. Do not, lay your hands, or get a hold of with permission or not permission, of the miniature homosapian, usually of a young age.

I public suited once in a park and a few children actually came up to me, gasped, and excitedly said in unison ,".insert gasp here. Furries? In .insert my town and state?! I am too, I thought I was the only one!!" I was so happy that day.

I only have 3 more payments to make on my fursuit. I've gotten work in progress pics, and it's just dawning on me like, "Okay! Aside from conventions . . . WHERE CAN I USE THIS?!?!" This video helped a lot, and now I have a few ideas as to what I can do.

one thing you forgot, when you get a pocture taken with someone, 2 hands visible in photo. that way you cant be accused of touching anyone inapropriately

Lol DONT TOUCH THE CHILD!!!!

"I've made a lot of children cry"- Pocari roo, 2017

Something I've learnt during the times I've publicly fursuited is be aware that people might do unexpected things to you! You have no idea how often I've been close to kicking a child in their head because they came over to hug me without me seeing them!

In photos, keep your paws visible.

I think the general public is probably more comfortable with full suited, toony fursuit because it reminds them of mascots, wich is a concept they are more used to.

Well this is entirely random, but I wanted to just say that I have dyed my hair towards my favorite suiter! Blue with white tips and it looks amazing!!! Love you Pocari!! Huge fan so... Hai! C:

"safety is more important than magic" i'm pretty sure everyone at Hogwarts would disagree XD

I'm in the U.S., and I forgot you are not from here.. I was really confused, because here, it's 1:00 in the morning. I was really confused why you would be uploading at 1:00 in the morning XD

Pocari! I have a strange question- When someone takes a picture of you- does the human inside of Pocari smile or not? :P Love from Hel- I mean... Arizona :3

SO one time I was at my school and I see this suiter walking my way. They weren't alone and I assumed they were picking up some one. (I was at the parent pickup area) I was like "OMG. IT'S A REAL SUITER!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I am dying of happiness. When they are in clear view, I see a beautiful, White canine with ping and blue accents. They look my way and I start losing it. I cant figure out what to say so I wave. THEY WAVED BACK. OMG my 12 year old mind couldn't and still can't comprehend what happened (I was not openly a furry but my closest friends knew and a few were furries too). I feel my face going red from what just happened and striked the "Cutie Patooti" pose. They walk away and my dad pulls up and I am like "CCCRRRRAAAAAPPPPP!!!!!!! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! DID HE SEE THAT?!?!!?!?!?!?!?" He didn't and that memory is still near and dear to my heart as it was my first true interaction with a suiter in suit in REAL LIFE. I am sorry for the essay but I had to share. I love your videos and you helped introduce me to the fandom. This year I am making a partial thanks to you. I have unlimited gratitude Pocari. Thank you.

Yes.. All of my suits are toony. I am a fursuit maker, and my style is "realistic toony", such as I add airbrushing and detailed markings. My suits are often labeled as "creepy" or "scary" due to my realistic/snarly jawset style.

Sorry to bother you pocari, but what are you suppose to do when the parent is rushing their child toward you asking you for a picture with the child but the child does not want to be near the suit in any way at all? (this has happened to me a lot during suit outings)

I went to Walmart in my fursuit partial, it was an interesting but amusing experience haha

Someone in partial at my local ComicCon, (which was very small, there were only two fursuiters) held a child and it made me really uncomfortable, knowing the dangers of it. I've heard of parents actually forcing fursuiters to hold kids. Also asking and leaving the suiter like a deer in the headlights, and the fursuiter holding the child even though they don't really want to. If you are someone who has met local furs in public before or go's to cons, please learn fursuiter etiquette to help make your furry friends more comfortable!

Also, just remember there is a huge diffrence between a park, and a playground. I would avoid playgrounds. Also I don't know if you are going to do another Q&A, but if so I have a question... What is a funny thing that has happened to you during fursuiting? P.S. Hello from Utah!

I think the reason people are more scared of partial is because, we all know there is a adult (usually) inside of these suits, but with them covered in fur it seems more like the fursona, more like a mascot, people trust mascots. But when people can see there body more they get a bit more uncomfortable since its more obvious, this is an adult STRANGER that you or your kids are playing with.

I'm new to suiting and I'm very shy, what should I do? I live in a small safe town btw. edit: what if you don't have a handler?

I know this is a super old bottle episode, but I still want to throw in my public suiting experience! Last Halloween I went to a little Halloween event with some friends in my partial, realistic skulldog fursuit. My suit has golden blank eyes with no pupil, large horns, all that. I’d say she’s sufficiently spooky if you were caught off guard. But, during this event, this little girl who couldn’t be more than 3 years old came up to me and just stared at me with amazement. I crouched down to be a eye level with her and put out my paws, and she was SO happy. She just started laughing and waved to me. It was such a precious experience

magic decapitation XD

I remember a video of a guy fursuiting in public and I don't know his species, but he had a skull head. Most of his suit didn't look scary at all ,but the kids were terrified of him.

Some kid tried to steal my friends fursuit head off of them and run away with it but her handler tracked them down. I CANT BELIEVE THE PARENT DIDNT STOP HER CHILD

I love. Going suiting with all the reactions from kids especially when they look like their dreams are reality

legend has it that if you watch on time... pocari will never notice you... ;^;

"If your handler is a stupid..." xD

It's 4am right now but that's okay 👌🏻 Priorities

For a first fursuit outing I recommend going somewhere around Halloween or in October, because most people won't question you, people will be super impressed by your 'costume' and most establishments will welcome you!

I think people like fullsuits more because they're not used to seeing the person under the suit exposed when it comes to mascots.

10:02 "it can really shock them back to their senses when you take *their* head off"

lol. Tried searching "New York mask laws" out of curiosity, and I had brilliantly forgotten about the pandemic and that's all that came up.

Whenever you make Pocari mad it’s so cute :3 Love ya!

If i saw a fur suiter " HOLD MY BAG IMMA TAKE A PICTURE WITH FLUFFY ANNIMAL!"

Me and my friend are both younger furs and my friend is new to the fandom so in order to get into the fandom more my friend suggested we go public suiting this was very helpful thank you 😊

POCARI I LOVE YOUR SUIT SO MUCH IVE BEEN SCREAMING IN AUSTRALIAN TO MY FRIEND TO BRUSH HER PAWS XDDD she loves your channel

Ive been public suiting a few times and it's ALWAYS been a blast! Went to an outdoor music fest sort of thing, that was by myself but all I wore was a head and paws lol. Went on a random day with a friend, and went to a meet to go apple picking! (that last one was a BLAST lol hay ride in fursuit = great time)

Im getting supplies next week i think monday to be exact? and ive always been thinking about public fursuiting even tho i will only be making the head although i want to bring it to school to show my friends and maybe surprise a few kids in the hallway but my school as a major strict dress up code meaning masks are not allowed so im kinda bummed on that one... ive always wanted a fursuit since i was 12 and guess what? construction on the head is starting next week and hopefully i get to wear it to Anthrohio 2018 i might even live stream it while im working on it

Oh my goodness! That Pocari on a swing is adorable!!

this good to know all this

i love that intro "your not my mum and you cant tell me what to do!"

"they don't let large groups of people on the beach" Dude wouldn't it be funny if it were a horde of fursuiters met by riot cops?

Nice video explaining. Thank you. Love your fluffy suite

Pocari: oh most public places don’t Allow facial mask First time fursuiters: awww I really want to go wherever COVID: Allow me to introduce myself

If your handler is a stupid. Amazing quote

Major problem my friend and I were going fur suiting and a child came up to my friend and her suit is a drop croch and the child whent to go to but jasmyns belly and pet her in the rong area is there a way to stop it from happening cause the kids won't stop petting her?

thank you so much for this vid i really needed it ^_^ i hope your family is well!

"You are alot taller than these kids" I'm 4 foot 7... I'm the size of a kid .n. That's why I get stared at.

"even if you are just running around being dorks" BRO I DO THAT ANYWAY!! SKIPIDY BAN BOOOOOOO

is there a maximum time you can go fursuiting? I mean, can you go fursuiting for a maximum amount of time before it gets too warm or something?

Also, Pocari. you have inspired me to start up my own furry channel. however i wont post anything until im able to go to cons/get my suit. but still thank you for being awesome. i love your videos.

Okay so, I’m the town where I live in there was a 12&under party going on at the rink and my friends wanted me to bring my fursuits. So I did. The person who was running the party knows me and my mom really well and LOVES when I bring my fursuits to little party’s for the kids so it was perfect! So we got there and we went in and rushed into the washroom to put on the suits. My friend was wearing my house cat suit Harmony, and I was wearing my French Bulldog fursuit Melody. So we come out of the washroom with fluffy animal costumes on. My cousin (I gave her one of my suits so she can have it until she saves up for one) and one of my older friends walked up to us and was just like “Hey, your a fluffy animal now cool.” So they gave out glow sticks and we put them around our ears and interacted with the kids. Now here’s where the mess starts. So a girl a grade younger then us sees us. She starts going around telling the little kids we just interacted with that “Their not real animals, those are just fat bullies.” So I was pissed. So we walk up to go get some juice and go forget about it but the girl walks up behind us. She screams “KITTY!” At my friends and charges at her and bodyslams her against the wall. Im even more pissed now so I start screaming at my friend to talk of the head. My friend takes off the head and I scream at the girl to stop harassing my friend. The girl goes away glaring at us. I help my friend up and her head hurts cause they just got body slammed and “patted”. I have more stories like this XD! Oh boy the stories I have. My friend is okay and I just screamed at the girl a little cause my friend was not having it.

Pocari: ”Don't take the child!” Me: *DON’T TOUCH THE CHILD*

I just realized something funny - So Pacari said she has not publicly fursuited out of Australia right? And- She’s a kangaroo - LOL

I just love your advice, I didn't even know their was so much things you need to know I'm firsuiting lol

*Do Not Take The Child!*

Oh wow its not just a big fluffy robot toy, it is a human robot toy underneath!

what if you are fursuiting at a park and somebody is walking their dog and the dog starts to chase you and think you are a giant chew toy? also what if you have a cute skulldog suit and want to interact with children? should i make a whole new suit or public suit in the skull dog? i love your videos they really inspire me and make me love the fandom that i"m in

Pocariiiiiiii!!!! My mom is my handler and she's pretty good about reminding me about a few things. When to take water, stop, unsuit, and rest. I'm only 13 and I'm about 5'6" and I wear a full digitigrade suit XD

In Australia It's Hot As Frick. I Used To Live There Until I Moved To Germany On March Because Of My Dad. And Now I Don't Have A House And I Live In A Holiday House :/

Lol “take your head off” takes head off* everyone screams and runs away* ^_^

It's a super big responsibility if fursuiting in public with your handler . Always have somewhere where they allow you to change out of your suit and under armor. If I ever fursuit in public I would definitely be very aware of people and will always bring my handler . I would rather go to many cons many times before I feel comfortable fursuiting in public.

thanks for this! I'm hopefully getting getting suit for my birthday and plan on wearing it on Halloween

I recently started watching your channel and I love your fur suit!!!! I was wondering who the maker was? I don't mean to sound stupid if it's a popular maker but I'm new to the fandom and your suit is so cute!!!! :)

8:53 I agree, my little sister is afraid of dogs but when she sees one she LOOKS excited, but if a dog comes up to her.. weeellllllll... screaming and crying

i like this type of video you should make more of these

Hello, Pocari! Please read this comment! I have a raptor mask and I have been saving up for a fursuit head. My sister is very unsupportive and I don't know what to say to her. I'm the type who will get hate and sit at the end of my bed and cry. This is why I watch you. You are really cool and I love all the things you do. Love from a BIG fan❤

Public fursuiting can be fun, i do feel the confidence and could give it a try. But few things i am worried about. My country isnt too aware of fursuits and people are quiet defencive about,what they see. Also i am one of the first fursuiters in my country, as i know, so i dont know what people might think about me. This video did give me good and important things to think about, and also some ideas, so thank you! :)

"You are a lot taller than these kids!" *Chuckles in tallest in class*

DO NOT TAKE THE CHILD

Someone in the city I work in advertizes a music store in suit! They sometimes stand in front of our windows and wave and they seem super friendly! Shame I'm at work most of the time when they show up so I didn't get the chance to talk or take a picture with them yet...

If there is no parks in my area, what would be good places to fursuit?

it's 3:53AM where I am I should be asleep but I saw the notification for this video and clicked it 😂 I love your videos

You know its ironic that i’m a furry but i cried at my birthday parties when chucke cheese came out

I remember I went to a geek meet once in my partial. It's made on a DVC foam base and kids loved it(Probably because it still looked very toony). I did go in McDonald's(We seperated for food and stuff and me and my mum and a few others went McDonalds.). Its not the best place if you have a thick 3ft long tail but also not very good if kids want to say hi. They did and I was sat on the floor with them till I got my food. It's fun public suiting but CERTAINLY be sure, handlers too, to tell if someone who smashed. If they're smashed you can often tell far better.

Hey I have a question!!!! And that is I am going to go fursuiting on halloween!! I have a partial but it is toony!! I made it myself and it looks alright? I mean it's not like a professional suit like yours haha!! And my handler will most likely be my dad 😂!! And I'm afraid I'll get either furry hats or all the kids will be scared of me.... and also I will be wearing a onsie to cover up meh human! I'm kinda of nervous because I've NEVER gone public suiting!! Also there will be a lot of people and I'm not giving out candy I will be getting candy!! And I'm a sling speaker fursuiter so do I say trick or treat?? IM SUCH A NOOB IK!! And I really hope you can read pond to this!!! And maybe this could be in your Q and A vid?? 🙈🙉 if so hello from super HOTT Florida!! 👌😂

Omg when you said kinda crying about heads coming off, well a couple years ago I was someones handler and they were playing with some kids and when they bent down to sit the eye fell out and they started squeaking (they had a squeaker ) and the kids were so confused as the person was covering their eye squeaking in panic. Just imagine a red panda squeaking and the handler trying not to die from laughter while searching for its eye and kids just staring in confusion... I just can't it was really funny

Pocari- "Some places have *anti masks* " Covid: "I'm about to ruin the whole kangaroo's carrier" Sorry if i got the meme wrong :c oof

Me: *goes outside in creepy suit I think is cute* HELLO UNIVERSE!!! Them: RUUUUUUUUUUUN

I'm always paranoid I won't see a kid and knock them over. hasn't happened yet though XT

Wow this video helped me understand what to do IF I'm gonna be a fursuiter!

Refreshments and water as well is needed. :)

I would go to a meet but I have no much social anxiety to go out. Plus I have no friends so no handlers hmm
