MrCetrizine Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I bought one of these for stalking creatures with a camera. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ghillie-Hunting-Paintball-Shooting-Woodland/dp/B007IIRFGE It's surprisingly good for the price and does an excellent job of making you look like a male chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addz131 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I used one of my old mtp smocks and tied netting to it then stripped down some hessian sand bags it works really well but only after some trial and errors 1. Don't try to make it to perfect being a human you will try and even every thing out don't you'll get what I mean if you build one 2.dont make it to thick/heavy if you going to use it all year round make it as thin as possible and bulk it up with natural stuff what's around you when shooting grass,hay,leafs and alike 3.dont ghillie the front chest and legs its a pain when crawling in and out of position there are loads more points I took in to consideration when I built mine but you will find what works for you don't give up and get bord it will pay off I would post a pic if I bloody new how ?

fourtyvoats Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Remember that you will be a very flammable bundle when wearing a ghillie suit which is why you should treat anything you create with the right flame retardants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi 6.5 , i did laugh when i read your web-tex Never used ! from UKMC right? As iv got 1 too , and guess what ,only used once ! I have another suit tho , its the muts , cant remember exactly what its called but , its basically a 2 piece mesh suit with realtree Hardwoods Green strips sewn into it , with random cut edged leaves. Its Very light , has a hood , pocket holes for your trousers . with a mesh viel in the hood , i sprayd it more Green so it would blend better and OMG iv been less than 2 Meters from certain quarry wearing this . Was about 75 quid years back when i first spotted them in an n Air Rifle magazine ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrelsniffer Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Gunner.. think you may be on about a "leaf suit" quite a few companies make them, jack pyke, deer hunter, swedteam, plus a few good ones form a Cabelas in the US...i also have and use a few types...as well as traditional ghillie suits.

6.5shooter Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I think the web tex type vest that you garnish youreself is more for crawling. Only really useful when the ground dries up and grass gets up a bit. I want something more for hiding beneath trees or in cover etc so that it covers my whole body while squatting or standing. Any recommendations for the 'leaf' type ghillies? I see there are a few on the market as mentioned but its hard to judge what theyre like from internet pics.

Barrelsniffer Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 There is also the poncho by deerhunter named sneaky 3D i also have one of these ideal for when a quick set up is required and as all leaf suits they are very effective, i would put a few links on here but where i am they have a block on all shooting pages, lucky to be on here as they also have a block on stalking directory, which is annoying, also look on snipersystems and global rifle they do some great ghillies which are used by those in the military not cheap but better than the 50quid ebay rubbish.
