Finally got some decent field pictures of my new ghillie, only vegged in one of them

It's growing on me. I like the burlap based suit, and thought about making one of those myself. Could use some more pics though, just to get a better look at it overall.

Nice work man!

I really like it. Reminds me of my own. Did you break it in? And is that a VFC m4?

Yes I dragged it through the mud for about 4 hours one day, it was origionally a CA and is still a CA body but not much of it left is still CA, and the suit is a combo jute / burlap stips, I felt with the jute it was to stringy and the burlap strips really added a lot of texture, I have never combine the two styles in one suit before although I am very pleased with the outcome.

Looks good!

I recently just started using this technique and love it. The combination really makes it look good and blend much better. Gives it a much more natural look.

I would personally use more jute and less burlap, acting more like a filler, but to each their own. Suit still looks great man.

Yea, I like the mix as well. Nice job.

TY, I am building another right now for a team mate and I will use the same combination, it will be similar but with a boonie cap instead of a hood

I will soon be making a Ghillie suit and this texture has really impressed me. I'm thinking of mixing burlap and jute but i am not sure of what ratio to do , ill figure it out . Congratulations on the awesome suit

Thanks, I made my whole suit in jute, then filled in the holes with burlap. Not that this will help but I tied 10 strands of jute every 2 in, then burlap stips 1.5 in wide and 24 in long about every 7 sq inches. Here is a link to the video for just the jute, unfortunately my camera broke for the finishing touches of the burlap.
