Re: only shoe goo for ghillie?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: invincible03</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Like another said, you get out of it what you put in...so, I think it is a great learning experience for people who want a solid ghillie...especially, when the jute is overdone...everyone has their own styles and opinions, however I am very impressed you listened and thinned it out...if you didn't, I would have had to suggest you cut the material off the back so at least you didn't die of heat exhaustion while someone else is laughing cause you look like a moving bush LOL...my only humble suggestions are to become intimate with your ghillie...while you are conditioning it within the environment it will be used...learn its strengths and weaknesses...you'll quickly find you both will share one in common...so, my second suggestion is to add canvas (shoo-goo, sew, and spray paint) and replace any buttons on the front with velcro or your sculldrags will be hell!
Keep up the good work, brotha!

Thanks again Kiwi.
invincible03,
I ended up doing the pants over the weekend and then took a full picture of myself again. I like how it looked thinned out but decided it still needed more trimming. I'm going to keep wearing it, getting it a bit messy and then taking pics to see what areas are too bushy etc and keep trimming till I get it right where I want it. BTW, the front of this has a zipper that covered by a full length velcro flap all down the front so no buttons. I will have to look into skids for protection from pointy rocks, etc.
Here's the pics of it finished and after the initial trim:
Although it looks much less bushy than the first pics, I decided to cut a great deal more off after these pictures. I'll take pics of it in its current configuration soon. My plan is to just keep taking pics and trimming lol.
