I thought it was a poison ivy scarecrow. :roflmao:

Actually looks like you did a great job on it Jeremy.

[topdawg]

thanks i started with a leafy suit base layer ...the next one im going to make will be netting and a ton of jute string

[FinsnFur]

A damn good job, but how the "L" did ya do it?

Ya know whats always kept me from buying one of them? I keep thinking all those dang rags hanging in my face would just fall into place (the wrong place) when trying to look through the scope.

[topdawg]

i just cut them out of my face that way nothing hurts my vision

[FinsnFur]

Ahh yeah

[weedwalker]

Is it lightweight?

[topdawg]

about like a pair of jeans and a shirt .....its prety light

[coyote101]

I like it.

[vayotehowler]

starter one my self and the jute tying and all was a hassle. i cut a ton of it and jsut never finished, I used 1x1 in netting and wouldnt hold a lot of jute there are some links on diy , use a volleball net if doing it

[pitw]

Wow.  I'm impressed.

Nice looking ghillie.  Have you tried going over a barb wire fence while wearing it?  I got one as part of a retirement gift a few years back, still wrapped up and in a closet.  Hard for me to wear one out here, most every bush has thorns and big ole stickers on them, would be shredded in no time.  Some guys wear them but carry them to their stand and then put them on. 

[topdawg]

i try to watch out for fences and flames........both would be bad lol

[Bopeye]

That really looks good Topdawg. I'd like to hear or see a "How-to" on that one. I've never been much of a fan of ghillie's, but there is no denying they work. I'd wear one if they are no heavier than you say.

Very NICE!! 

[topdawg]

my is light, but it dont have as much of the burlap jute string on it as a regular ghillie does...a regular ghillie has a ton of jute string, but the ones i hve put on still aint all the heavy

[Palegroe]

topdawg when you are ready to do that "How-To" for everyone Bopeye sugested I'll go pick up a new suit at Unc's and you can get started on it.  Fresh you know so everyone can see how it looks from start to finish. 

[slagmaker]

Nice very nice.

How much room ya got for putting it on over a coat or something like that?

[Silencer]

great job, would like to see some photo's when you hunt with it. 

[Frogman]

I like it!!  I have thought about making one of those myself.  Looks like you did a good job!
