Hi all,
So I'm beginning to make my first ghillie suit. As the title says, I would like to make a ghillie that is as light as possible. I dont want an all over ghillie. I need something that is open at the front to allow access to my vest underneath. Any ideas guys?

You could make a drape on ghillie using just the net and jute without attaching it to any cloth, then using clips to attach it to your sleeves, shoulders, and pants. You could also attach the net and jute to the back of your vest and leave that space on your shirt without jute.

Since this is your first try at building a ghillie suit I suggest you use a kit. It will come with everything you need including instructions. http://www.ghilliesandstuff.com/sto...l-Tracker-Kit--Synthetic-Custom_41397869.html

This is great for a lightweight ghillie, gives you access to all your front pouches, and comes with a pouch for a hydration carrier. I bet you could even get to some pouches on a duty belt if they were orientated forward enough. I have seen these suits in action and they work well. And if you really want to put in burlap you can still tie in strands where ever you please. It makes you look really cool too. As long as you have this cool mustache.

I would do a vipers hood...

 

[MilsimTech]

WOW! that thing is expensive. Pretty cool though. I would go talk to grandma or something for that price and see if she could sew something, and then attach the net myself with some shoo goo.

I wonder if there a way to make that sniper tog? Hmm...got me thinkin'.

 

[woogie]

Just do what I did....

Take an old BDU top and cut the back out. Then find an older under armor shirt and use that fabric as the "pannels". Then add your netting and use camo netting for the "ghillie'.


This makes a very light weight ghillie, while still looking good!

That seems like a good idea. And I've heard of people making their own tog.

I've used these before too

They work pretty good. Of course, you could always buy 1" strip elastic from joann fabrics for a few bucks. I've seen the elastic in tan, olive, and black. Then get some shoo goo, and put a pea sized amount of goop every 1" across the area you want to attach the elastic too. This makes a MOLLE type look with elastic on the back of whatever platform you decide to use for your ghillie. This works great too and shoo goo is STRONG. I don't even see the point in sewing if your going to use shoo goo.

What if you got a really large, green t-shirt and cut most of the front off it. Then make the ghillie the same way as making the bdu ghillie suit.

I've been trying something like this with a sorgo. What do you think?

 

[oderfa]

I have been using this for my ghillie. It is basically the same as the webtex concealment vest but just cheaper. With this you can easily use vest under it.

 

[Bushmaster Recon]

That looks brilliant! What is the ghillie vest called and how much is it?
Also, what rifle is that? Is it an SV98? It looks sweet!

 

[oderfa]

My ghillie base is made by MFH and it is a copy of webtex concealment vest. You can probably find webtex one easier. I just attached netting and jute on it. The base it self costs about 30-50$ I believe. http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/showthread.php?t=4096&highlight=sv98

Here are few more pics I have taken of the ghillie. I should try to get some ingame pics of it also... http://s1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/Oderfa/Venaja settia/

I'm probably gonna try and finish mine using the method in the video. Then I'll post some pictures and you guys can tell me what you think. Till then keep the ideas coming.

 

[Overwatch]

Just finished my ghillie! I'll get some pics up soon.

 

[MilsimTech]

Looking forward to seeing them! I'm working on something similar myself, ill put up a thread here too.

The light weight one's I've seen were made with synthetics.
I like burlap myself.

But then, I also prefer worms over using lures when fishing....
