Woodside Nitehawk 70 x 90cm Ghillie Netting Fabric Net Sniper Camo/Camouflage Hunting

Product Information

Cable Ties, pretty basic this one….Some small green or brown cable tiers which you can get online. I personally use small 2/3mm ones, as they can be pushed through mesh easily and are still strong. For this guide I’ve chosen green so it stands out in pictures so you can see how I’ve anchored things to the mesh…….Not because I couldn’t find any brown cable ties hehe. Cheaper suits can also be bought which only break up your outline (no camo, only a solid color), but with a few branches and such from your surrounding attached, it can blend in quite nicely.

This is the part that I go all out on. I spend, by far, the most amount of time of this project prepping and applying 550 cord to my ghillie suit. The 550 is a crucial part, that is what you use to tie in the vegetation that truly makes you invisible. Use enough of it, and it will act in the same way as the jute does, breaking up your outline. Step 2 – Fold the mesh around the rifle and loosely add some cable ties (or elastic bands) just to hold the wrap in the general shape for you to work with.

If you are short on time, skip the fraying and melting part of this, as you can always do it later.

Notice in the images above, you see parts of my outline. Most noticeably, the vertical line which is my left ribs, left pectoral, and the horizontal line made by my left arm. You also very easily see the “V” made by my left armpit. Even through a bush, with a camouflage shirt on, this “V” is easily noticeable. After spotting this “V”, and part of my body’s outline, it becomes easy to see that this is the top left portion of a human body. A shape is the visual characteristic surface configuration of an object. When lines and edges come together, you will see the outline. Study the outline, and you will notice the shape, and determine what the object is.Below are some images of the Ghillie Rifle Wrap, one without the elastic bands on, just showing the basic rifle wrap and how it’s broken up, not overcrowded and simple. The next image has the elastic bands on and I’ve thrown on some real foliage to show how it looks. Rhythm and Flow are the patterned, recurring alternations of contrasting elements, movement, or variation characterized by the regular recurrence or alternation of different quantities or conditions; a pattern created by lines, forms, and colors.

A ghillie suit must break up the human outline, and cover all 5 body angles to prohibit an observer from noticing and distinguishing the shape of the human body. Color Movement is the easiest element of visual perception to grasp the concept of. Anything that moves catches your eye because movement is one of the biggest disturbances to a baseline. The human eye is strongly attracted to any movement. The sniper physically moving will attract the observer’s attention, and the sniper brushing against vegetation can cause the vegetation to move which can attract the observer’s attention. There is a simple way to break up this shadow. Apply more vegetation to the face. You don’t need your nose, cheeks, forehead, or chin to hide. You just need your eyes to see what’s going on around you. This shadow is caused by adding vegetation. Positive & Negative SpaceContrast is a difference or strong dissimilarity between two compared objects. Value is the tone of something, the darkness or lightness of color. This can be easily confused with the element of color, however, color is more so choosing the right color to match your environment, and contrast/value is understanding how being darker or lighter can draw attention to yourself. If you’re going to be in the woods most of the time, include a little more green. If you’re in an area where there isn’t much vegetation, include more jute and things to break up your outline more. This is basically one big manly arts and crafts project. If it works, do it. Just remember, you can always darken your suit in the field, but if you bring a suit with a dark base color, it can be difficult to lighten it. The first step in making a veil is to cut a straight line on the brim across the forehead. This will prevent the Boonie from casting a dark shadow on your face while wearing the veil. Next, grab a scrap piece of netting and zip tie them onto the loops of the Boonie. (my zip ties are camo, look closely). As you can imagine ghillie suits can be very hot and increase the risk of overheating, especially when layers of vegetation are added. One of the only thing more dangerous than passing out from overheating is passing out from overheating while literally nobody can find you! I have seen this happen before and it can be deadly. I recommend never stalking alone. Consider using something like a find my phon” app so that you can be located in case of emergency.
