Why this checklist is different for Further Confusion 2026
Furry plans need more than a generic suitcase list. Pack around the builds you are actually wearing, not just the event badge.
San Jose, CA during January 15–19, 2026 means cold transitions between parking, hotels, and warm halls. Add layers, hand warmers, and costume-safe outerwear.
If you are driving, split your kit between a floor bag and a hotel-room repair kit so you are not carrying glue, paint, and tools all day.
Packing tips for Further Confusion 2026
Packing for a furry convention means planning around the suit. Your cooling setup matters more than your costume accuracy. Bring two balaclava liners minimum (one to wear, one drying), and schedule suiting sessions around headless lounge access. Your handler should carry water and a fan at all times. If the venue is warm, cut your planned suit time in half and double your cooldown breaks.
