Ghillie Suit
« on: February 25, 2002, 10:19:10 PM »
Well, I figured it was about time to make one...  they take a LONG time to make, the best ones are home-made and since I have no job right now, what could be a better time??

Well, I started with a small net with 1" squares.  This will be just an upper torso ghillie suit w/hood.  I only want to make one, so I fugured a base tan would be best, with a bit of olive green, some brown and a little black/gray for shadows and depth.

I decided to use jute instead of burlap so it would be more durable and easier to make.  Anyway, I am doing 4-5 strands per square, skipping rows.  I have been at it for 2 hours already, and I am probably only 10% done...  this is going to be VERY tiring and I now know why the good ghillie suits aren't cheap.

Anyway, as soon as it's done (hopefully by the end of this week) I'll post some pics.
