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

Product Information

The easiest way of doing this part is to grab a partner and work together. You should only need a partner for about 5 minutes, so you aren’t asking them of much. Have your partner drape the netting over your shoulders, and hot glue little cross-sections onto the blouse. 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). Positive Space is anything that takes up mass. This can be buildings, trees, bushes, vehicles, obstacles, etc. If possible at all, it is difficult for an observer to see through positive space. The human eye naturally moves from positive space to positive space, as the eye is attracted to these large objects. Similar to reading a book, it’s typical for an observer’s eye to move from positive space to positive space from left to right, far to near. It’s just first nature to the human while observing. Contrast 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 are short on time, skip the fraying and melting part of this, as you can always do it later.

Ghillie Suits Knotted Netting - Camo Netting to Customize

The ghillie veil is by far the most important part of the ghillie suit. While you’re observing the enemy, some of your head is the only part of your body that should have a direct line of sight to the enemy. Many experienced scout snipers will only bring their veil with them, but only after mastering the technique of stalking. Some will bring their veil and blouse, opting to leave the trousers behind. 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. ColorRhythm and Flow is my favorite of the 9 elements of visual perception. Many of these elements, such as color, are simply science. Your color(s) either match the baseline or they don’t. With Rhythm and Flow, you begin to steer away from the science of camouflage and dive deep into the art of camouflage. Do you, as a ghillie, blend beautifully with the environment? Does your suit bow to the wind like a light breeze rolling over a wheat field? There is no right answer. There are multiple options and approaches one can take when making a Ghillie Suit. Some may use burlap strips, whereas others will opt for raffia, etc. The best solution depends heavily on the current environment where Ghillie should blend in. Notice this ghillie suit is mostly tan. Tan is a good light base color. You can always darken your suit in the field, by attaching vegetation or getting your suit dirty. But if you have a dark base color like green, it’s hard to lighten that up when going through a tan field of wheat/goldenrod. 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.

Raffia, you can buy this stuff anywhere, it’s incredibly cheap and you get a lot of it for your money. You can dye it, paint it, bunch it up, split it, the stuff’s great and really helps break up the shape of whatever you’re adding it to.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 Space This is probably the most difficult task you’ll face in building your own ghillie suit. This works much, much better if you can get a partner to help you. 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. Step 6 – Add hair bands, this is as simply as stretching them over the barrel/receiver, depending on which hair bands you have you may be able to double them up. Alternatively, you can also twits the hairband into a figure of “8” and cable tie it to your rifle wrap.

These photos also show color, contrast/value blended well, but the texture is non-existent. (at least for the top half of my body). The lower half of my body shows how much contrast there is between my grey pants and the tan environment. Light (Reflecting, Sunlight and Shadow) There are two ways to hide movement. One is to move behind solid objects that obstruct the observer’s view, such as moving from tree to tree, and bush to bush. Another is to fold vegetation down towards the observer. Perpendicular movements are easier to see, whereas when you fold vegetation slowly towards the observer, it will appear to be “melting” so slowly that it is much more difficult to catch. Windy days are much more forgiving to movement, as movement is part of the baseline. On a day where there is no wind, bump a bush and it will be obvious to anyone, especially a trained observer. Step 1 – Lay the base mesh out on a table or flat service and fold it over your rifle, then pull it together so you can see the overall amount of material you’re going to need, then cut it (to much is better than not enough). FYI you can use this exact same process for a scope wrap to. To prep the 550 cord, ill break this down into a few steps. First, cut about 100 pieces of 550 cord in anywhere from 12”-24” sections. When you have that massive pile of 550 cord strands, remove the 7 white strings inside, known as the “550 guts”. Fun fact about 550 cord that some people do not know; the 7 strands of white string in the guts are all rated at 50lb test. The hollow tubular shell that the guts are contained In, is rated at 200lb test. Altogether, you have 550lb test paracord. Hence the name, 550 cord. In a pinch, you could remove a few strands of the 550 guts to make much longer yet weaker cordage. Anyway, we won’t be needing the 550 guts, so either throw them away or put them aside.At this time, you should be preparing your suit for use in the field. Pull on the netting to find any loose spots, add any more glue where it may be needed, add jute or 550 in places where it may be needed. The first time you break in your ghillie suit should identify weak points or problems in the suit so that you can repair it, and prevent any problems in the future. 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.
