Homemade ghillie
Hey, I started to make a ghillie suit.
It is mainly made of mesh and burlap. I'm still not sure what I'd do for the foliage. I thought I'd use quick snaps and just switch which foliage I will be in so it will be a bit more versatile.
If anyone got any input feel free to share, I'm all ears.
It will be tested on next wild turkey season.

Sure looks like a ghillie to me!
My only thoughts were:
1) Drag that puppy behind your truck for a few miles to tatter up your burlap, it'll cut out any sharp lines you have in the strands
2) I gave up on ghillie-ing my legs below the knees. Way too much to snag in the field. Most of the time, I only wear a ghillie jacket or "poncho" with a hood - by the time I sit down, my legs are easily concealed, either in the natural debris, or by slacking the fibers from the top over my legs a bit.

Looks Fantastic I wouldn't change a thing. I would possibly make another one that has more brown in it for the fall.
