Reccomend me a Ghillie suit

[Wilson]

Roll your own.

Here's an upright stalk ghillie that I made for the HT member in the picture:



The other team didn't like him much that game.

What kind of material did you use?

[Wilson]

TRU woodland jacket and pants from opsgear.com (though virtually anything can be used as a base, such as an old flight suit) and a synthetic jute kit from ghilliesuits.com (two fantastic websites).

I also build ghillie suits for those interested, but the most cost effective and satisfying approach to getting one is building it yourself.

Always remember to include fresh, natural vegetation from the area you will be operating in. Spend enough time crawling around and this will happen automatically (as branches, leaves, grass, mud, etc. get caught in the ghillie), but some care should be taken before the game to ensure you are properly adjusted to your AO.

So after a couple months of slaving away at my ghillie suit, it is finished!!
I'm really quite proud of it And it works great.
I'll post some pics up soon.

Its not as good as making your own but works well for the player in the picture and good to go out of the package

I got this suit in an XL and it's SUPER baggy and works wonderfully. That guy's suit is way to small for him just judging by the length of sleeves compared to his arms. It's a decent brand name too and it's meant for foliage, trees, and branches. It's green enough you can wear it all summer and brown enough you can wear it in the fall. It's sweet!

Oh, and it's been on sale at Walmart for a while. I got it for $40. Gonna be hard to beat that.

I have that stuff and wear it like an "advanced bdu" NOT a ghillie, it's a little better than normal digital camo is some cases but will never offer the camoflauge the homemade ghillie can.

I am in the process of building my own ghillie suit and was wondering if I got everything right. What i need is :

BDU
netting (I heard volleyball net works fine)
Shoegoo
Burlap
Dyes (where do you get them and what colors?)

You use shoegoo to fix the net on the BDU. You then dye the burlap, cut it into pieces and attach them on to the netting (sew them or ?).

RitDye, in Kelley green, medium brown, find at craft stores, Walmart, etc.

And you tie the strips with a simple overhand knot onto the netting, one or two every couple squares (depending on square size).

so only one green and one brown and i'm good to go?

[CDN_Stalker]

Depends on if you are doing top and bottom, might need two of each. Add in undyed burlap too.

[FOX_111]

Use mostly brown and tan as the ground on most fields is that way. The green you can add with the local vegetation.

I used Krylon spray and other colors of spray paint. It's good on the jute and the colors turn out very good. Like OD to make brown, bright green to make green and I leave the jute alone to make some tan.

This would be perfect for you. The face mask would be perfect for hunting.
