Although beastmen fear the cold, they make up half of the beasts, especially the Silver Tigers, whose beast form has fur and a strong resistance to cold. Therefore, these beastmen don't need very thick cotton clothes in the winter.
However, beastmen whose beast form is like Snake Birds, which aren't cold-resistant, must make thick cotton clothes to keep warm. Otherwise, the winter would be very difficult.
The beastmen are incredibly busy during this period. Besides Shi Li and Zhi Yi Da Shi, those exceptionally skilled hunters who need to go out and hunt every day, others are busy making spinning wheels and looms, as well as weaving and spinning.
Now that the tribe has fields and farms, even if they don't hunt for one or two months, it's absolutely fine; they won't lack food or go hungry.
The reason they still keep up the habit of daily hunting, sometimes without using Illusion Beast Incense, is purely to ensure the tribe's beastmen's skills and combat powers don't decline.
