>>2823518>I'm not just larpingSuuure, buddy. Whatever you say. Makes me wonder why you pic has crappy synthetic "fur" instead of the realthing you absolutely use, though.
>if the ground is cold and wet I think even furs won't help you enoughFurs are literally attached to leather, which is waterproof if treated correctly.
>raingear is quite neccesary for furs in temperate climates, because a real torrenetial rain will make fur clothes uncomfortably heavy and might make it lose it's warm quality.Same as above. Properly treated (=waxed / greased) fur is waterproof. I've ridden my bike in severe rains with a sheepskin jacket, and except for a small part around the throat where the collar doesn't quite close (due to it being a shitty fashion jacket I got for cheap), I stayed dry every time.
>Do you know if fur retains warmth when wet like wool does?Yes. Sheep fur (which is what you should use in the temperate zone) is literally wool, and other furs (which you only need in severe cold) have evolved to the exact same demands. If they stopped insulating when wet, the animals that have them would have died out long ago.
>Additions to kit/critiscism of kit?Well, not much that I wouldn't criticize:
>Sleeping matYou don't need one at all. If you want to protect your furs, a piece of oilskin, a tarp or at most a German Army surplus sleeping mat will suffice, while packing much smaller.
>synthetic furs covered with synthetic fabricThat's fashion shit. If you want to go this route, get some repro sheepskin bomber clothes. They're way to warm for temperate climates though, unless you wear them only when sleeping / resting. As is a wool pullover, and mitts. Unless you're hunting from a stand or riding a bike / ATV / open-top car, I'd sugget forgetting about fur clothes and getting a fur blanket as most.
>ponchoThose are crap when you have to move in them, especially when the layer beneath it is waterproof (or even just insulating when wet).
>half shoesSeriously?
