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

Product Information

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) 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. 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. I was originally going to use these photos as an example of improper use of shadows, so for now, ignore the fact that my face is casting a large shadow. In this position, I was laying on my belly and am resting on my elbows. Notice how my lower body has a tan grass covering and my upper body is covered in green grass. I did this because the baseline color of this environment is about 50% tan and 50% green. I didn’t want to be a huge green spot or a huge brown spot. The two colors I chose match perfectly with the environment and the baseline. The only element of visual perception that isn’t used properly here is the element of shadow, so cover the dark spot with your finger and notice how my outline and shape is impossible to determine, and the colors match the baseline perfectly so that I do not draw attention to myself. Contrast / Value Select a usable suit to start your ghillie suit with. Though it’s easiest to start with a camouflage outfit, you can make a camo suit out of normal clothing using spray-paint and/or fabric patches that match the surroundings. [1] X Research source

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. 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. There are many different types of Rifle Wraps, veils, sleeves etc, all with various materials and Suitability. A few companies out there make pre-made Rifle Wraps like Novritsch, other make truly hand made bespoke products like Sprinter Custom Ghillie. 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 The texture is the feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or substance. Like color, texture has a baseline also. If an object has a surface that contrasts with its surroundings, it becomes noticeable. An Object with a smooth surface reflects light and becomes more noticeable than an object with a rough surface that casts shadows upon itself. Very smooth objects tend to become shiny and reflective. This is something to keep in mind when trying to get the right contrast and value for your environment.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.

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. Your environment has a baseline of color. The greater your color contrasts with the baseline color, the more visible you become. This is especially true when that color is not natural for that area. It can be difficult to identify an object strictly off its color, but incorrect color can attract the eye of an observer and lead him to scrutinize the object in question. Again, this ghillie suit is just a simple base idea. Tailor this suit to you and your environment. Add more jute, add more 550, some people take burlap sandbags and shred them up, using scraps to add texture to their suit. If you’re only going to be in a hayfield or fields of goldenrod, include much more tan than green.

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. 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. 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.

An expensive suit can be bought which already has a good deal of camouflage built in. It will likely look like a basic camo with a flap on it.

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.
