How to use a ghillie suit (adding natural vegetation and blending in) 

Imagine you leave your ghillie to get something to eat or drink you come back and you cant find it when it's in front of you

I built my own ghillie suit with a cape from scratch. I built my ghillie hood from two boonie hats, using the back part of a larger brimmed hat, mounting it under the back part of the smaller hat to drain off any rain further down my back instead of going down my neck. I incorporated a small amount of synthetic burlap or jute into the actual burlap which covers my entire suit and hat as more of a pattern breakup. Plus, my cape has a shoulder system, which connects the cape to my shoulders using buckle and draw strings. The nice part of this is, I can disconnect the center buckle, flip it over my head and lay the hood over my chest, put on my actual single stalker ghillie hood, crouch down by a tree with my knees drawn up towards my chest and totally blend into my surroundings and be slightly above ground for better viewing of the area around me. I’ve made boot coverings out of the same materials as my cape is made from which have bungie cords at the top and secure just below my knees. The coverings are made from volleyball netting and real burlap. So, with everything on, if you use your natural foliage and not stick yourself out in the light, use the wood’s natural shadows and be mindful of what’s behind you, you’ll not draw any attention to yourself. They don’t call us Shadow Warriors for nothing. When people are looking for you, whether it’s in airsoft or in real life, people tend to look for things which stand out, like your head & shoulders, as well as being the largest or tallest piece of ground. Also, nice white shoes. If you get a chance to buy them, buy the military boots which are All camo’d, including the soles. That’s what I wear, along with the camo’d leg gaiters. Also, just because you’re laying down on the ground in a ghillie suit, doesn’t mean you can’t be seen. Two things that will give you away faster than anything else are: You are seen moving or what you’re wearing, making contact with the ground with creates a contrasting outline around you. It looks just like a shadow and basically Outlines you better than a yellow marker pen. Have someone take pictures of you when you hide and look at those photos yourself and see what gives you away to You. This will tell you where you can improve. Also, take off anything that swings, like that branch you have on the front of your ghillie hood. Movement. “Any” movement, no matter how slight is your worst enemy. And when you have to move, even just to raise your head slightly for a better view, do it slowly. So slowly that you almost don’t know yourself whether you’re moving or being still. And learn to totally relax when you’re in your Hide. Good luck and... Good Hunting☠️

thank you i am just getting into airsoft and didnt know how to puut on a backpack with a ghillie suit on at the same time.

this deserves more likes

Really cool. I watched the whole vid. Instant subbed!

😂 excellent, we need for such a time as these

This Was A Fun Video.. Thanks For Putting it together. Take Care.🌲❤🌲

Thank you for the well presented, interesting & informative video. I especially liked the 'hide & seek'.

This place looks so cozy and nice

this has helped me sooo much thank you alot :)

I am sure this is very effective in gameplay. Especially when people are ‘not’ specifically looking for you. I don’t understand the boony though. For me that was how I found you quite easily in most hide and seek shots. Also the rafia on your backpack and essentially the whole colour pallet was too light for your surroundings. Especially when you chose to hide on the brown leaves only forest surface. Nonetheless great video!

this actually help me because im going on a 3 day hunt

Great video :)

Wow I like this

The white trainers are a massive giveaway.

Nice

The White shoes tho btw that's a really bad ass ghille

I never go into the forest with light colored shoes.

Ok dude! Are those modified headbands you put on your face? I really want to know! That was BRILLIANT!

Dude, this is top notch content!! You are using mesh goggles? Also, can you try and demonstrate with your replica?

"Comrade, someone left some shoes in the forest, let's go pick them up, mine are worn out." Ahahaha

Däääähm. Take my money man I need this shit 😂😂😂😂

Wow you literally turned into the earth

Excellent video! But did you mention you had netting over you ghilly suit? And did you sew it on if so? I’m building my own

This guy actually made like a tree and leave 😮

Can someone tell me how to hide and where to hide cuz just hiding on flat grass is not hidden at all i dont use it for hunting or anything like that i just use it to do stuff outside

Классно снимаешь, акцент, по правде говоря, всё-таки русский)

Just ordered my ghillie suit from costco $50 shipped! :)

Hey man go lighter and stick to more natural colors your pretty easy to spot and that suit doesn’t break your outline well

Hey bud, if you want my advice your suit is too dark, you need a lighter base to start with try spray painting your ghillie with some tans and browns also you need a good bit more of natural veg tied in a good percentage is 70 real veg 30 fake veg or jute

The d a rk spot

No volume

Your Shoes Stick Out Like A Neon Sign, lol...

those white sneakers dont help

😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

change camo dude...

I appreciate that you made the video but I have a tendency to be extremely over critical. The suit you wearing is called a leaf suit. A ghillie suit is covered with burlap/jute or whatever you use and and much much dense. A leaf suit is covered with artificial leaves. Also if wearing your hood was a problem why not just not wear the hood.

A boonie hat will give you away every time....as it did....distinct brim and very dark shadow. Cut the front of the brim off....this eliminates the shadow and line and helps you see where you are going when stalking...especially when crawling....speaking of crawling....try crawling in that suit and see how long it lasts and how it catches on everything. It's OK for hunters but not military.

The year is 2040, your laying in the woods 100% invisible with sniper and glock, martial law has been affective for 2 years and your waiting in a high foot traffic area, 3 guys with AR15 and duffle bags of ammo walk infront of you 50 yards away, would u shoot or let them pass ????? I’d do a kill shot on the biggest guy, wait to see if the others run or fight, if they want to fight I’ll just lay there and wait them out, if they help the dead guy I’ll pop em

Yeah not real good bud

too quiet - stopped watching
