Some people sew them with the fur running down or away from you. The reason is that as you are walking the snow or rain that is falling will naturally flow away with the direction of the fur. Now all that being said there are also those that sew with the fur going in the opposite direction or towards you.
Nope, because the fur pulls wetness from your hands and extracts the sweet which it deposits on the outside of the fur. That manifests itself as frost that you brush off. Also, there is a very incredibly thick under fur that we make felt hats out of that stops air from moving which is what gives it its insulative properties. Think of it this way. Would a beaver be warmer with fur on the outside or the inside? If it were the inside then why hasn't it evolved as such? Lastly, it would be softer, but not warmer, and you would lose dexterity.
If the snow is dry. If not, you just stay wet. But either way, the fur will dry itself with your body heat if you keep moving. It really is something amazing.
Nice review. If tough and durable skins were good enough for trappers and hunters that spent days out in the woods. I've had nylon and polyester fabrics that ripped to shreds on wire and briars. I've got to invest in a pair of these.
Many winter mornings here in central Florida i hv wished for a pair...

VERY INTERESTING, LOVE THE GLOVES AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK....
Hey thanks for your comment.
They have to be the biggest mitts I've ever seen. They do look awesome and very warm.
They are!
they are huge... but canadian prepper has worn some coyote mitts that look cartoonishly big
Very interesting all of this information is new to me thank you for sharing
Hey Howard thanks for coming back!
Wow..those are awesome Gauntlets !!
Work excellent! Thanks for watching.
Overkill try cashmere from thrift stores
Overkill until it's not. LOL
Nice mittens. Thank you for the video, Tyler
Thanks!
Forgive my ignorance on this....but would it be warmer if the fur was on the inside?

@@TJackSurvival good point. thx!
Someone taught me that. I thought so too until I learned more. It's all about the education!
You can dry beaver fur by rubbing it in the snow. You get them wet, just roll them in the snow. YoUQQq

Okay those are great
I think so. But I'm bias. LOL
Looking at beaver vs mink hat. Assuming beaver warmer?? Input please?
Beaver is what I'd go with. It's my understanding that it is warmer and I know for sure it's going to be cheaper. Save mink for coats.
@@TJackSurvival I appreciate your help.
@@TJackSurvival It has to be real cold out or I get to hot in my mink hat. Very warm
Do you use them in public areas around other people?
Yes. But I also probably don't live where you are.

They hold up very well.
What pants do you use ? Great vids by the way
I had Fajalraven pants on. The winter ones with the gators in the bottom. Thank you.
came here for mad vegans
Let's hope!
goood
Great!
You know.......if you put together a full suit of that fur you could totally pull off a baby Sasquatch hoax!!
I'd to that just for the hoax if I had that kind of cash and time. That would cost so much it's ridiculous. I bet you would be warm when wet as well.
Haha, right on. Maybe we can do a go fund me campaign! LOL.
I'd contribute! LOL, but does that count..
We have to start somewhere!
