I have a similar thing where I took a sniper veil and a tiny crochet hook to weave in jute twine. I use it as a pack cover a lot to break up the outline of it while hiking. That looks a lot easier to make lol

I apologize for the extremely late reply! The first Ghillie Suit I made was much the same. Very intricate construction and it took forever. I found that this technique is much faster and breaks up the silhouette well enough. in addition, there is plenty of room to add natural foliage from where I'd be using it. have A Fantastic Weekend!

I run mine through a cold waah cycle (small amount of soap only) and dry them on high (keeping an eye on it) which "fluffs" up the ends and material, giving it a more natural look.

Thank you Kyle, I've made several ghillie suits, blankets, screens, pack covers, etc... over the years. The ghillie technique breaks up the silhouette and provides a starting point for adding area vegetation and debris to help obscure things from being easily seen. I have been intrigued with Crye Precision's Multicam since they first developed it. I can mimic the process pretty well, however no one produces enamel spray paint in the correct colors. Dura-Coat produces all the correct colors, however they are expensive and the process is very time consuming. Have a great day Kyle, Blessings for you and yours.

one thing I found that works really well and is cheap is a laundry bag from the $1 store. If you paint it camo or even just olive green and put it over your head it breaks up the human shape, hides your face and human face features really well. Put on a camo hat or viper hood and you are good to go.

Thank you very much for sharing this! I made a ghillie suit 20+ years ago, I may share in a future video. I had found several German mesh laundry bags that all had holes in them for a couple bucks a piece. I cut up a couple of them and incorporated them into the suit, hat and rifle blanket. It worked great! using mesh on it's own works far better at breaking up ones silhouette than one might imagine! breaking it up more with a little bit of a camo pattern... Icing On The cake! Thank you again for sharing this and adding great information to the conversation!!!

Wouldn't it help the whole camouflage to tip the ammo can onto it's side? Therefore it wouldn't be so tall. Just sayin'.

The best thing about making your own is you can tailor it to your specific environment. You can dye raw burlap any color and hit it with wisps of spray paint to fine tune your colors. It's all up to you, do it as simply or complex as you want. it just takes some time. I actually find it therapeutic... Repetition, Quiet, seeing progress as you go, and you save a good bit of money! Always Good!
