|  | | | I'm working on one at the present time, sewing on burlap strips and plastic leaves. An old boss and karate instructor of mine (an Ex-Seal, believe it or not - I really don't care), went paintballing and he made one. He just bought a black sweatshirt with a hood and sewed on a mess of these fake leaves and even fake flowers. The most god awful stupidist thing I ever saw, I actually laughed at him (for a true killer, he does have a great sense of humor). He told me that he kicked royal ass with this sissy looking ghillie suit. It worked because it broke up his silhowet (sp), and it matched the green foilage.
However, . . . sewing on these stupid fake leaves and burlap with a sewing needle and thread takes FOREVER !! My boy started making his and got so pissed off with the time it takes and trying to learn how to sew (he's 13), he said he will just go out and buy one (about $ 100 - 150 bucks , try Cheaper than dirt, Brigade Quartermaster, Sportsman's Guide, Ranger Joes, etc)

At least he admitted he didn’t learn anything from that remark. To bad too, it was a good lesson.

| | | | HAhaha...
My unexperienced advice would be to get some Camo Netting from an army navy store, attach that to your sweatshirt (or just drap it over you) and tie or sew the leaves onto the netting. It seems like it would be easier to attach it to the netting then sewing the whole thing onto clothes...

| | | | Burlap, twine, and foliage from the environment you wish to use it in. Simple.
Also the smoke from pine needles can hide your scent. Not as effective as charcoal lined clothing, but it probably works better than the commercial stuff.

| | | | If you don't like to sew, you can use twine, or just knot the burlap strips onto a cammo mesh/netting. Throw it in the dryer for a few cycles (clean the lint trap regularly to avoid a fire - oops...) to fray it all out and then attach foliage from the site when you get there. Takes about a day of work, so good weekend project.
I have a distinct lack of a sense of self preservation. |

|  | | | I've made my own ghillie suit of spray painted cut up strips of burlap and it works pretty well. BUT! Remember this, the suit doesnt make you invisible. It only makes you.. umm harder to see. Remember that stealth is 90% technique. Sorry to bring back a slightly crusty topic but I felt like I needed to post this.
Along with this link http://www.geocities.com/stalker217/ghillie/
Really hope this helps... Even though your prolly done with it now anyways...
now that I think of it, this post is the saddest first post I've ever made ona forum....

| | | | Cool, my post helped! Yay!
I'm going to post my suit that I use for paintball mostly soon. a tip is.
DONT SKIMP ON THE DETAILS! Trust me, if you go with the netting, dont just sew on a little, you'll pay in tree branches if you know what I mean.

I agree with this. The trick with a ghillie suit is knowning how to use it. You have to have extensive knowledge on how to take advantage of camoflauge and cover and how to move through it. Never skyline yourself (i.e.- cross on high ground or a ridge.) Go low instead if possible. Move very, very slowly with a natural crawl technique. If you suspect observation, freeze for at least 15 minutes before moving again. (Or use your best judgement.)
I would use a burlap vest and use shredded burlap and frayed rope spray painted in the appropriate colors. Don't forget to paint the bottom of your boots as nice and shiney boot bottoms will give you away, as will indiscriminate use of binoculars or spotting scopes from sun glare on the optics. There are ways to prevent this as well.
If you are going to go this "hard core" I would suggest getting a British/SAS or US Marine sniper training manual. Both of these are arguably the best in the world.
One more word of advice, if you get observed by law enforcement, don't be surprised if they pick you up for investigation. Due to the heightened security with all of the terrorism crap, keep a bag with some sort of street cloths to quickly change if everything starts going to hell in a handbasket.
