For the haters; there are many different ways to build the jacket and pants. This is just one. His points on positioning camouflage are valid. He chooses to build a net, some choose a faster approach by cutting and attaching one. Both will work. One point though... remember a ghillie is essentially a camouflaged overcoat and pants that need to be sized large enough to pull over the uniform you are wearing.... good suspenders are a must on the pants. Also.... the jacket should be long enough to hang to mid thigh or knees..... so having scrim starting high up on your ass almost to the belt line is not necessary.... it will simply be under the coat and add more heat /bulk to a uniform that is already very hot to wear.
+Cdn0069 No. More parts to rip off and tear off. And there's absolutely no padding for the wear and tear areas. There's no paint over the shoe goo to cover the shine. Just....lots of shit wrong. I give him props on trying to build one though. Especially that method as it looks time/labor intensive. But learn from people who actually build these things for military sniper school.
Just came across this vid today and want to say thank you for doing this budget diy. I read through a lot of the comments and most of the nay sayers or "my idea is better than yours" group completely missed the point. Yes netting is more available today than it was 6 years ago and yes it is fairly easy to work with. BUT like you said, it's not as durable. I am curious however to hear back on how well the E6000 held up vs the old tried and true ShoeGoo? One last thing, was there a reason why you didn't show how to tie the string or burlap strips or mention where to get those supplies? Thanks again for the great how-to/diy on a budget.
ALERT!!! PEOPLE...DO NOT treat your clothes with permethrin in this manner, ie dont dunk your ghillie in it,; if you feel you should use this then spray only the outside of your ghillie on the day of use!!! This is a really bad idea and here's why. Excessive exposure DOES have severe side effects. Crawling around all day in a permethrin dunked ghillie suit is considered excessive exposure particularly when you are in it sweating and opening up your skin pores to allow it to enter the bloodstream. Side effects include:nausea, headache, muscle weakness, excessive salivation, shortness of breath, and seizures. It is also considered a carcinogen as a side benefit (jk). Yeah it will kill bugs for sure, I used to use it for treating my backyard for fleas and ticks (dogs), but it can make you sick as a dog too. Additionally, it will only kill bugs if they come into contact with it in its wet form, whats not to say they bit you first then died after they ingested your sweat? Permethrin is used because it softens and penetrates the hard shell of certain bugs, affects their respiratory system, and suffocates them. Use some common sense. Now lets move to a more obvious reason, the smell. If you have ever used this stuff it has a very distinctive smell. You are trying to be invisible in the woods, animals and humans (with good olfactory senses) can smell this stuff a mile away. So sure go hunting in a permethrin treated ghillie and see how many animals you get that day. Probability- ZERO.
Instead of shoe glue you coud just cut slits in the camo suit and run the paracord through them, just thinking about doing this with what I carry in the woods. Would make it more field expedient. Great video, thanks
@@oni_goroshi stitch button holes and problem solved. Unless you play air-soft, I’m sure most people would agree this is one of those items you want well built. Not just something for these adult Boy Scout camps.
Hey, I'm concerned with scent elimination regarding the bug spray. I will hunt deer. Also, best damn step one Ghillie video out there. I am very grateful. NO Larp Air soft softees here. The real Tech!! thanks man.
a net will work, but isn't always immediately available to everyone. ALmost everyone has paracord or can run to the store and get some. Netting is a little harder to find and less durable.
Hey, thx very much for his video. I would like to know what item is stuck on the jacket. And poorly understanding English what the spray is for, what treatment is being done. Thanking you very much.
also, the glue is very matte and not "shiny" like regular glues... It's kinda a white mucky look. So a little mud/paint and the covering of the outer layers of many many stripes of jute/burlap conceals it a great deal! The reason for this is because it is like "rubber cement" and is not made to "shine" I have used it and it is very good glue to use on ghillies! as well as other things like shoes, shops, woodwork, bushcraft, arts and crafts, in the house, concealing... just read the tube
Sigma 3 Survival School How durable is the Shoe-glue? it seems if it were to snag it would right off the shirt. or if you wash it would the camo not come unattached? seems sketchy
Shoe Goo is an industrial epoxy adhesive. Takes 12-24 hrs to completely set up and dry. Its really durable. I use it on my skate shoes. If it can hold up to 85 grit sandpaper rubbin against it all day, brush shouldnt affect it any
Good video. Good simple instruction. One problem men. It's our ass that really gives us away. Charcoal soap and charcoal underwear is key to really hiding. Make charcoal and rub it into your person and underwear. Survive!
perhaps a pointless question but is it possible to make a ghillie suit on a camo poncho so that you can have stealth and water proofing should you get caught out somewhere?
I was thinking that same thing. Just cut slits, but forget the parachord, just run the strips of berlap through two vertically running parallel slits. I I I I I I I I I I , kind of a pattern.
Nearest military surplus store, or amazon. Military surplus stores you can get barely used for pretty cheap ("new old stock" as well). Just don't get the cheap brands from Amazon. Try to get military issue. They'll last a *_LOT_* longer. Probably even decades, if you don't use them often.
I like mostly all of your vids except this one and the only reason being is for what you spent on paracord you could have just bought mino netting while at the store getting shoe goo because that is basically what you made out of the paracord that you now can't use on something more useful !!!
Idk if i trust all that shoe goo. How tough is it? One good snag and its all fuct up seems like. Might take more time, but you could layout your grid pattern and sew it all together separately then sew it on to the bdu's. Thread n needle is cheap, light weightand strong. Can pack plenty more very easily. Plus no shine that you have to cover up with smelly spray paint. Plus the bug stuff. But a Ghillie is for hiding from humans and our smell isn't that good so i suppose its just fine. Cool video
I would greatly appreciate the bug video you were talking about. A lot of these wilderness videos I see on youtube are great but they never seem to cover bug repellant. I would bet most of these folks from up north have probably never heard of a chigger, but let me tell you, they are a very tiny bug that will make you one miserable individual.
Sigma 3 Survival School i don't think people are getting the fact that this is a something to make if your out on a field with the stuff you would normally have if you were in the battle field the people are saying to soak stuff for a couple hours and shit like that lol this is something to make if ur on the battlefield and you need a ghillie
Don't think you got the fact if it was a battlefield situation you wouldn't have time to do this video what so ever LMFAO for one who would have shoe goo out there and two it takes almost a day to cure so before you talk people down think of what you are saying because you sound as dumb as the people you think sound dumb for what they say !
+(A.N.P.A.) LiveTheRightLife lol right? Usually ghilli suits are labor/time intensive. You don't really make these in a field expedient fashion. Unless you WANT to die.
I normally cut out a small bit of green tarp and attach it to my knees, stomach and elbows
I read the book "One Shot One Kill" about Carlos Hathcock and it was a great book
I ate this hamburger from McDonald’s and it was a great hamburger
Sprinkle dirt into the glue as it's wet. It will kill the shine.
Great idea, thanks!
A lot of cool ideas I'll be using. Thanks 👍

u could also use one of those army net things save your self a lil time and its already got the leafy stuff on it

No offense but you can literally find netting in just about any outdoor section in a Wal-Mart you can now, and you could six years ago
@@tex8564 i still cant find nettimg anywhere, and the cvs 2 blocks away sells paracord. sincerely, stfu.
@@bobjohnson3794 you can’t find fish net? Press x to doubt
Just came across your video. Just subscribed. My opinion, I like the way you explained the video. I've seen others. Not for me . Thank you 👍
You trust ripstop material a lot more than I do then. I've had supposedly ripstop BDUs I was issued shred once they got a hole in them.

What type of glue do you use?
Doesn´t the glue and rope rip off the jacket when you move around and maybe stretch the fabric?
he is using shoe goo

Survive!
great video just was wondering what is your head cover in the photo at the end?
did you take a old hat and do the same as the jacket and pants?
perhaps a pointless question but is it possible to make a ghillie suit on a camo poncho so that you can have stealth and water proofing should you get caught out somewhere?
Yes, just glue netting onto a poncho, I can imagine you would get sweaty as balls on a hot day though.
I dont think you could survive in something like that
I was thinking that same thing. Just cut slits, but forget the parachord, just run the strips of berlap through two vertically running parallel slits. I I I I I I I I I I , kind of a pattern.
Anyone know where I can get those type of pants and jacket

Who carrys shoe goop in the field
Don't you get shine from the shoe glue?
yes you could make a ghillie poncho
Not to mention if you ever have to scratch or kill a bug that is biting the shit out of you, you can easily give away your position.
May get this a lot e2000 lasted a long time
"Carlos's hathcock..." ... who else caught that lol:)
i would love to make one of these just so i know how to, but for $10 more i can buy one.
are they not british mtps?
ah, the good times before sigma as a word wasn’t tainted
that is why you spray paint and cover in jute
А не проще маскировочную накидку носить с собой и на позиции одевать. Этот костюм в лесу цепляется за все ветки.
But this is for budget concious people who may not be able to afford that or does not where to get it.
How much cord?
why they don´t use a net to make the camo ? -.-
i have the same amount of paracord omg :)
yea i see were one of the vids u sed that latter on lol
that species is full of cyanide bro. i would be careful with a technique like that
then it cost much lees if you use a poncho
You can allways ghillie a umbrella so your not so hot wearing a suit..
why the hell would you not get a fish net and sew it on with a needle and 50lb braid? that shoo goo is gonna ware off in a week
Just use netting you guys! its so much better
its best ta just sew it 12:12
"This has a whole range of uses". precedes to only give two examples of use...
i dont have that prob lime one guy try to pick me up and BANG! in the face last time he did that haha (this was at paint balling so don't worry)
god tell me about the lil mf's!
I made one and went to Afrikaa I got stepped on by a hippo
Lol
