How do I make a Ghillie Suit?
“It is really not that hard. Take an old set of BDU’s or a flight suit, and attach some netting to the back side. I prefer about 1″ square netting. You can sew it on by hand, or just use some shoe goo. Once its attached, cut yourself a bunch of strips of burlap (what ever colors match your area of operations) about 1″ wide and between 12″ – 24” long. Take those strips and tie them to the netting. Presto, you have a basic ghillie. Now use your imagination. I like to put canvas onto the front of the suit to re-enforce the spots that will wear out quickly from crawling, be sure to spray paint the shoe goo with a flat color to kill the shine. You can also attach pockets all over the place. Make some nice veils, or just make some high speed way of attaching natural veg. I also like to strip out the burlap so that I’m tying on wads of burlap strings, its very labor intensive, but the results is nice. Like I said, use your imagination.
