Arctic Snow Ghillie - Field Test 

Same day they filmed this there was 5 yeti sightings!

Wow, that would fool any animals sight, at which point, it just depends on their next primary sense, smell. This would work great in the northern states, especially areas where there is pine, put that suit in a box of freshly cut pine branches for about a week. Hunt in an area where there is pine, animals won't smell you. I've done this with my hunting suit, had deer less than 15 ft from me, I was sitting at the base of a pine tree! Using camo and natural scents work, no scent cover/killer.

spotted you at 4:30 and 4:50 but this is still the best winter ghillie ive found so far. been contemplating on making my own but now i dont think i need to anymore. props to you.

With the UK weather as it is, and with the harsh winter we had, we might need some of these snow Ghillies for our Airsoft MilSims!

That's badass! I was fooled every time

Ive been doing this for a LONG time, and I've never had a white tail or a coyote try to track me by my footsteps. You must be referring to use from a soldier or toy soldier. In either one of those instances, you'd have to be a dips hit to try tracking an individual by following their footprints. That'd be an excellent way to walk right into an ambush and if it were a sniper that you're following...you'd never see it coming.

From what I didn't see, you made it work.

6:12 as close as he was to the camera I didn't even notice him. great video.

Awesome ghilley! One more thing for my wish list!

my gosh! i never was able to guess correctly on your location! too trippy! awesome!

Real show of skill there, rarely seen a person pull of that many "spot-me-if-you-can"-scenes successfully. Thought I had you narrowed down many times; every single guess was wrong though :) Having never hunted game I can't speak to how effective it is or isn't, but I know one thing.. For hardball/airsoft... That suit would be the envy of every guy who ever had the thought of playing as a sniper :p Amazing job mate, very good! :)

I love this vid. good job on the ghillie

Very well done! Nice video.

that is just SICK. nice video.

that was amazing. i only managed to spot you 3 times out of the whole 7 min. cudos to you

this is great. thanks for sending it

i spotted you at 6:03 because i could see the seperation from your jacket to your bushy material.....but still that was the only time great ghillie man best artic one ive seen....props

I know it's working, great work !

Coolest one I've seen yet

Thanks man. If I can get some free time before the snow melts, I'm going to do a better video. Something showing the suit with better video footage as well as explanation of it's purpose. It's not for the military and it's not for the airsoft/paintball crowd. I use these to hunt with. I designed it to hunt with. People that want to make their own for their own purpose are entitled to do so, but that gives them zero ground to offer up suggestions. If you want to, just make your own.

dude i love the suit, dont listen to what other people say, your badass

very impressive man, very impressive

best snow ghillie i have ever seen!

great field test and works perfect,

Best snow ghillie on youtube!!!

hey man, i must say, every time i look at this video, i still like your work. even though we will never get that amount of snow, i would love it, to have your ghillie or the same work :) but anyway, i have respect for you, for having a good ghillie :) could you make more video's like this ? :)

@celes8ian glad you like it. should have a couple more suits done and ready to film this summer and more winter suits ready for next season too

this is so awesome. i like your video becuase unlike a lot of the other ones where they jud hide behind a tree and act like their suit is amazing you are out in the open with nothing covering you

this is the best snow ghillie i have ever seen

The 2nd reason would be that 98% of over-whites are made of some kind of cotton or poly blend that is not waterproof and snow actually freezes to it, making its weight increase exponentially each time you use it. The 3rd reason is that most are not made of any kind of ripstop material, which means going over, under or even being around barb wire or most branches greatly compromises your materials. The suits I make, perform at a level unmatched by anything available commercially.

Spetsnaz should use this suit in particular.

@danschill8757, it's a version of Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell. There is another vesion called Requim for Two Towers (slight difference between the two) and the tune is also known as Requim For a Dream, a movie, which is where the original tune was first heard.

@Wolfdemonmaster Thanks a lot. What people don't realize is that most of these clips have me within 10-20 yards from the camera. I'll be doing another video this winter on some flat prairie, all done in HD footage with my newly designed suit. This time I'll have my rifle with me and I'll be between 50-100 yds out. The range most coyote shots are taken. Regardless, if this was meant to be a military suit, or a life and death situation suit....you'd be hard pressed to find me from 800 yds out.

@OpticBill thanks man. my fav as far as music goes are the Suppressed Deer Hunt video with the suspense of the Terminator Theme...and the "Gilz84's First Hunt" video about the Porcupine.

Nice ghillie suit! highly effective :)

wow, if i was an enemy i would be dead already. i couldn't even see him.

@TheLastBob1 it's actually two cows but one is facing away, the other is about another 100 yards down range and slightly quartering, so it looks extra tall.

@zacthebold 5. Recoil reduction provided by a suppressor can give the shooter the ability to see a bullet impact the target and discern weather or not it is adequate or if a follow-up shot is necessary. 6.) It helps young shooters become acclimated to gun fire. Reducing the risk of "flinch" associated with noise and recoil.

@Youngmarine0109 had a polyester base suit i got for Chirstmas one year. Very not good at all for snow since it will stick, and freeze and melt and stick and freeze. Took it all apart and built a waterproof ripstop suit over the top of it. Attached a net just like with any other woodland ghillie, and made 3d attachments for the back and legs.

fantastic suit i liked it alot

this was asome nice vid best I seen :)

Very nice job

that things works freakishly well

That music doe

@2669Randy I/we utilize suppressors on all of our weapons, which nearly eliminates any shot signature when viewed from any notable distance. Not only that, if a shooter has an opportunity to get ONE shot off, it's already to late for you. It's only after a 2nd shot that you would be able to narrow down the direction the shot came from. That's just basic rules of field craft. Shooting suppressed completely changes the rules of the game.

@laxbro1119 The original you see in the video was a modified base suit. The ones I make now are much improved and are made completely from scratch. There is close to $100 worth of raw materials and 30-40 hours that goes into each suit. If we ever get any snow, I'll be putting up a new HD video but the weather isn't cooperating.

Very very nice dude.

Best transformation on you tube

@brandeninbc nope...those are West River Black Deer...they usually get between 800-1200 lbs but they are to easy to shoot so we just let them come up to the house when it gets really cold out

Dang! at 1:30 I was sure I had found him......nope....haha! Nice.

3:02 Run Luke, Run! That wampa knows you're escaping!

@semperfisniper1 the ghillie material I use for the back has the same sparkle to it that snow does in the sunshine. I'd love to see this Under Armor Ghillie Suit you guys are talking about. Never heard of it.

great ghillie suit

@zacthebold Well, lets shed some light on the topic. 1.) They aren't awkward and perceived weight is relative to it's materials and position forward of the balance point. A shorter barrel and titanium can makes unnoticeable. 2.) It's obvious that you've never heard a suppressor, because they are not giving you a means of hiding from a person. They are loud enough that you can easily hear. The suppressor only masks the location of the shot. Not the sound of the bullet in flight.

@nichaaron best part about mine is that because of the material used..NO SNOW, ICE or WATER will stick, collect or freeze to the suit. I agree that this is the biggest problem with trying to use traditional ghillie material that is comprised of some kind of string, jute or cotton based material. It simply WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY in snow. Mine does.

@MrDip02 It's a white balaclava, mine is underarmor cold gear but many others are making them now.

@sniperofwiz I chose that spot specifically because it was closer to the camera than any other clip. It's really a dead give away once you know i'm there, as opposed to the other clips where even though you know where i'm at, its still hard to see.

@SymAmineC8H11N can't say i've ever mountaineered in them, but i have climbed some awful steep canyons and rough country hunting in the winter. They are awful slippery but I use those slip on ice gripper teeth things that Ice Fishers use so they dont fall on their ass. Helps a lot if the snow is packed or if it's powder and the ground underneath is frozen. they dont take up much space in a pack and are nice and light if i do need to wear them.

I must say, that is a really nice suit, and you seem quite at home in picking locations to blend. Got to be a pretty fun game trying to pick you out. Gotta practice that meself, though more just need to get out and practice moving silently. From the Hide.

i ahve to say i love this video and your a master of hidding

@UserGoPro Blaze is usually only required to hunt game animals. Predator hunting in South Dakota (and most others) has no clothing requirement or restriction.

Super cool!

@gazzxr got one built for that too, except in South Dakota, our "desert" is more of an open grassy prairie. IMO it's a lot harder to hide in 18" of grass than it is to hide in a desert where scrub brush and bushes dot the landscape. I could walk for 5 miles without finding something taller than my knee caps.

AWESOME!

i dident see you one time xD. EPIC!!!!!

@Robbob9933 I took a little trip over to you're channel to see how great your moms bed sheets worked as a winter concealment system...She must have wanted them back cause I didn't see a video. Imagine my surprise.

Thanks! I'll Take A Look At It!

I found you 1 time out of this very good camo

@moc041 nothing about the suit or the name suggests "trees" either, but it's equally at home in either environment. If it were meant to be used ONLY in trees, I would have given it a break up pattern rather than a solid white look. The simple fact that I didn't have access to open country when I did the video means nothing. The one I'm working on now is in full HD. Stay tuned, the evolution of the suit is progressing nicely.

i said black OR brown. its your choice. i own 4 ghillies (building 5th) but we dont have snow here in dalmacia and it was just a suggestion. never did overall ghillie (simply too hot for 25 °C) never did a white ghillie suit. didnt know this isnt your terrain. should put that in description... the reason i use a few blacks(or dark browns..) is when i break in my ghillie black fades in, it blends in tan and lighter browns. u did great. happy hunting

My guess is that this suit would use some kind of steel brushed white plastic as one of the materials used. But it could still be viewed as a " ripstop material" for sure around barbwire so it would have to have some kind of non reflective protective coating on it.

This is sooooooo gooooood

@Reversalification good luck with that. The video of the coyote 6 pack on my channel was one of the coldest days of the year. -25 with about 10 mph wind. Without ECWCS underneith, I wouldn't have been able to handle it.

@2669Randy you're thinking 1 dimensionally. This isn't a suit designed for the weekend gamer. It was built to hunt with. Regardless, this is used from distances ranging from 400-1200 yards and the chance of finding someone that knows how to use it is near impossible from that distance. The new video I'm working on is filmed in HD and will be done with a 10x zoom from beyond 200 yds. This is comparable to most fixed power optics that would be utilized by a counter sniper.

^Hit the nail on the head. I can't remember any yote sets where we sat for more than 40 minutes. Proper layering and the warmth from getting to and from sets should keep anyone warm enough IMO. I think many forget the true purpose of the suit you made cbass! Keep throwing more pics up on the Hide!

This is crazy! I would be slaying winter coated song dogs with this camouflaging me!

perfect blending skills,.no tumors

5:56 dang....got me on that one, i was lookin' way out in the field. :)

@MrDip02 please post a video of it working, "as well" including the before and after weight of your suit.

@cphill46 I got mine at a Scheels sporting store and I use them when i snowboard. The ones I got are a Shawn White signature series...but I'm sure most of them would work.

I'm impressed

@theonlyrealcbass16 i think it's similar to an immersion suit, basically a single piece camouflage coverall worn in extreme conditions.

damn. thats awesome.

@thetubewithin interesting. Never heard of them, but mine's not like that. It's way 2 much of a hassle 2 have a 1 piece suit. I wear ECWCS under mine cause it's ultra durable, waterproof and has the arm pit / groin zippers 2 keep me cool while I hike to where I'm going and then when I get there...just zip back up to stay warm. I've seen guys make 1 piece ghillie suits and IMO, that's a huge mistake. It's just to hard to modify on the fly if you've gotta try to get it off.

I LOVE to be invisible! Cool vid.

@thetubewithin what the hell is a "sniper suit"? Yes mine is 100% waterproof but it is only about 1/10th the weight of Goretex. It's an over suit, not to be used for warmth, only for going over the top of your existing winter gear.

Cool video good luck with your product I hope you sell many.

@93NissanAltima did you know that the one from under armor the body has some spray thing that makes it stand out because it desnt have the natural glimmer of snow to it it just look like a piece of paper in the middle of white glitter

@UserGoPro Thanks for being the hall monitor.

@TheJasons3 yes in a couple of the clips they are inside looking out a window.

@epicchapnasty why would you want burlap on a winter suit? And no...everything i use on the front is removable for shooting prone.

hey dude! awsome ghillie... i've alredy built a ghillie for the summer but now i wanna built one for the snow.Now i have a question:How are the cloth stripes made on the ghillie?with glue,Netting,sewed on? please need a answer

@Tatupatulakukatu thanks for the tip. Did the wiki search and you're right. That dude was 100% pure bad ass. "White Death" fit him well.

thats really awesome :P allways guessed on the false spot!

this video was amazing within the first three seconds, because of the song..

awesome

fantastic!!! real stealth ghilliesuite

yes i still make them and am now on Mod III

yesm, recently switched to HD and now Final Cut Studio.

freaking badass
