Like the title says guys..... this is what I am working on right now. I wanting it to be as light as possible, so when I use it in 90 + degree weather I am not going to go down with heat stroke again :S

I have some of this, though about a 3 years old, so it is nice and faded and worn out looking. I am in the process right now of cutting it up and getting my strips done. I am planning putting some burlap on the suit as well, but figured this could make up the bulk of the suit and cut down on the weight as well.

I know I have seen a few pictures of snipers from other countries use this type of suit, and figured I would give it a try and see what happens.

So what are your guys opinions on the idea?

This can't be dyed It is like a nylon type stuff.

I used up what netting I had, and had to get some more from the store.

To be honest, right now it looks really good. The netting that I have is green on one side, and brown on the other. I cut the blanket into little strips like you would with burlap, and tied one strand to the netting. And it is filling out nicely if I do say so my self.



I have had a boonie that I made like this and it worked quite well. But I am also going to get some burlap into the mix, and fray it out some as well. The cammo netting is a rip stop, but it does fray around the edges.

Now that is a cute smile.... Can't wait till my little guy gets that age



I found it at a local farm store... back by the hunting supplies and what not. Was $19.99 for a pack, and it is looking like it will take 3 packs to finish the suit. Though I think I may have over done it a little bit, but will see when she is fully done.

I am about 75 % with the suit.... but the little guy, and work have been kicking my butt as of late. I should have it done here soon.

Well should get done with her here this week.

But here is a brief look of where the game is being held. This is from the "castle".... ie the other teams base. I am usually out in the filed there shooting their command and control

Well i finished the body of the suit.

I will get some pics here in a day or two, when I get my new rifle done as well

Skull ghillie? Are you talking about a ghillie for your head?


If so that is fairly easy to do.

It is very light weight, and I will let you guys know how well it breathes at my game next weekend.
