Fieldcraft Whar Do you Think of My Ghillie?

[Gecho]

I don't really have any pictures of it vegged up and in its natural enviroment but I do have a few of just it.

Constructive criticism is encouraged, questions are nice.

way too much jute, that is only filler, natural veg is where its at trust me, guess what a guy in a chewbacca suit looks like walking through the woods... chewbacca

all you need is natural veg and dead space

Sorry about the lack of veg, had little time to take pictures. Winter in KS=bad time to get pictures

imho - if you or other guys want legitimate evaluations of their ghillies on a site like sniper's hide, show pictures of the whole thing (front, legs, arms, exta features, etc...) loading up the suit with jute is just a fraction of the whole ghillie process. nothing personal, but anyone can tie jute on netting. seeing how well the base is put together will determine how good it is.

if you are intending on putting your suit through a good amount of abuse, all heavy contact points should be properly reinforced with canvas or heavy nylon. Then there are stirrups, venting, adjustment straps, attachment points, etc..... My point being, if you want a useful evaluation, you got to let us see what's under the hood. know what i'm sayin?

big joe is right about too much jute, but give it a good mud bath and a lot of that extra fiber will pull off in a jiffy. breaking in your ghillie will make a world of difference when it comes to effective appearance.

anyway, looks like you're off to a solid start, but if you show the whole thing, i think you will get a wider range of opinions and get more constructive input.

I'd have a little more green or gray jute instead of an all brown look, unless you are hiding in dead leaves.

What is jute? I'm ignorant on ghille knowledge. I would guess the stringy stuff but I would like to know for sure.

You need to not water the lawn for a while and let the grass brown up, you'll blend in better.

@Ghillie Zen: I'll try and put up some pictures of the front, is there anything else that would help you guys "grade" it?

In my AO, there's really only pine and cedar trees. If you've ever been to a pine forest, you know that the entire floor is a tan and brown color.

Thanks for the comments guys.
