Im currently in the process of "attempting" to make a ghillie suit. The one thing and most needed item i cannot find is the netting to attach to a bdu/clothing etc. that is required to attach jute,hessian,natural flora.etc. I CANNOT find any place that will sell a cheap bulk of netting with 2-3" spaced squares. I am in sydney australia, i have searched on the net but with no luck, and am nearly going to resort to using soccer netting or bags, but both are still too ill-economic. someone please help!

Why 2-3" squares ?
Order from here: Tactical Concealment . I just ordered me some of the 1.75" netting. I'll be using 2-strands per side

michaels and ac moore craft stores has surplus fish netting that works good...
one pack for 10 bucks is enough for about 1.5 ghillie suits

Re: Netting (for making ghillie suits)
My netting is probably 3/8", a little small, but it worked ok. Make sure you get enough slack in the netting. You can do some additional tacking after you get the burlap on it, if needed.
I got some camo burlap for building ground blinds, and stripped it out. Spend all your spare time on it for a couple weeks, and you will have something to be proud of.

if going the michaels route... dont forget to print off a 50% coupon before going in to the store. a simple google search for a current coupon will do the trick
