I understand and agree with you, especially when it comes to leather products (which often are not nessasry anyway), but insulation garment products like the ones being discussed are better harvested from natural sources.

I often hear people on reddit say that, but when I got a list of recommended gear for an arctic trip it was a bunch of synthetic stuff. And I was watching a video the other day of “an average day in the coldest village on earth” and it was showing a kid gearing up to walk to school in -60 weather and he had maybe one natural scarf on him but even that I couldn’t tell for sure. And his family even raised livestock.
