    Fieldcraft Zero0311 Ghillie

    Re: Zero0311 Ghillie I was with 1/5 from November 04, to May 06. I live near Los Angeles. Lots of work here. Living near Beverly Hills helps in the EP industry. 90% of the firm I work for is prior military, the majority being Marines.

    Fieldcraft Zero0311 Ghillie

    Re: Zero0311 Ghillie Yeah, I use the 550 cord veg ties. I posted some pics in the "Adding Veg" thread. Another thing is that I really don't use that much burlap. One of the reasons my suits look thick is cause I use a dog brush on the burlap which takes a lot of the fibers out of the strands...

    Fieldcraft Zero0311 Ghillie

    Re: Zero0311 Ghillie I use about as much as a school trained sniper suggested. Rule is about 30% burlap, 70% natural veg, but different AO's require different amounts. Do you have any pics of your suit "naked" and vegged up for reference? One good thing about using a little more burlap, is...

    Fieldcraft Who taught you?

    Re: Who taught you? I was in cub scouts and boy scouts as a kid. Had a few BB guns and shot stuff. Got into paintball and airsoft in high school. Joined the Corp. Became a grunt. Read lots of books. Went to SERE school, learned how to really survive in the mountains during the winter. Funny...

    Fieldcraft Zero0311 Ghillie

    Re: Zero0311 Ghillie Materials cost $265 without cammies, about $350 with cammies and boonie (brand new) Or you can buy the ghillie kit and have some left over supplies for adding/repairing. All left over materials purchased and not used will be sent with the completed suit. $100 for the...

    Fieldcraft Adding Veg

    Re: Adding Veg The 550 cord does nothing to keep it tied in, it's another option to tie in natural veg instead of weaving it in the netting. Or, you can weave it under the netting and then use the 550 cord to tie around the bundle like I did in the picture using the burlap. I just find that...

    Fieldcraft Zero0311 Ghillie

    Just thought I'd share some pics of some of my work, and offer any advice or services to anyone interested. I am not a school trained sniper, but I have a few friends that are. I was an 0311 with 1/5, and have always enjoyed making ghillies and had an interest in long range shooting. I also used...

    Fieldcraft Adding Veg

    Re: Adding Veg I'm gonna completely ignore ScottG1911 and put this out there for the RESPONSIBLE practitioners out there. These are some pics of adding veg. The grass and ghillie are opposite colors to show the contrast. There are many ways to veg up a suit, and the elastic veg loops work...
