Ghillie suits how to :

There are many ways to make a ghillie suit, this alone, may be one of the most curious things about them: that everybody does it a different way. One of the most spread ways is covered in Major Plaster´s Ultimate Sniper book. There you can find a nice drawing of the way to stich the netting to the camo fatigues and how-to instructions.

BUT if you want to follow my instructions : I recommend, doing a two piece suit, as it will be much more versatile

REALLY ,IT IS THIS SIMPLE:

GET A PAIR OF FATIGUES ( a littlle bigger than usual)

STITCH ON THE BACK A 2" SQUARE NETTING OR STICK IT WITH SHOO GOO!! (ANY NET WILL DO AS LONG AS IT IS AROUND 2" SQ)
THE NET HAS TO OVERHANG ONLY ON THE SHOULDERS AND SIDE OF LEGS AND ARMS THE IDEA IS TO HAVE BURLAP ON THE SIDES, BUT NOTHING ON THE FRONT, TO GET TANGLED WHILE LOW CRAWLING

THEN CUT BURLAP IN 12" X 2" PIECES AND TIE IT ONE BY ONE ON THE NET

YOU CAN TINT OR PAINT THE BURLAP TO INCREASE THE EFFECT

IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THE SUIT MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE PUT HEAVY CANVAS ON THE FRONT SIDE

THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO MAKE IT SLIDE THOUGH THE SAND BUT ISOLATE YOU FROM THE ELEMENTS

TO MAKE THE HAT USE A BOONIE HAT WITH NET HANGING UP TO THE SHOULDER IN THE BACK AND SIDES
PUT A MOSKITO NEETTING OR ANY OTHER SEE-THROUGH WITHOUT BURLAP AT FRONT

YOU CAN USE BURLAP OR ROPE, BUT THE LEVEL OR FRYING IS UP TO YOU
MORE FRYING = better camouflage = MORE WEIGHT & HEAT

ALWAYS USE A FLAME RETARDANT TREATMENT... USE IT !!!!
SNIPERS HAVE DIED JUST FROM A GRENADE SPARK

EVERYBODY DOES IT DIFFERENTLY AND THERE IS NO GOOD WAY .............. JUST DO IT !!

ONCE AGAIN: USE YOUR IMAGINATION

GHILLIE SUIT EXAMPLES

Major John Plaster´s Ghillie and Ed. Abril de Fontcuberta

You can see how much a difference it makes to be correctly camouflaged for the sorroundings

Major Plaster´s is a SELF MADE Ghillie, as he has done ALL of it,
even the netting was done with paracord tied toghether . He uses
Nougahide for the front and his color pattern is just for the woodlands
of Minnesotta where he lives

OVER FATIGUES w/ CORD GHILLIE

Some snipers, have died for not wanting to discard, their hard made suits when confronted,
with and emergency escape from an ambush. If you plan to use it ONLY once, make it like this.....

SNIPERSTORE SNIPER WITH GHILLIE AND US OPTICS SCOPE

This pic is a good example of the use of frying for dessert and arid
terrain, it makes the sniper nearly invisible BUT uses a lot of burlap,
so the suit is heavy and very hot... nothing is perfect...
