Make your own Ghillie Suit.

The process of making your own ghillie suit is a simple, yet very time consuming experience. The first thing you'll want to do is buy a pair of coveralls a size or two bigger than you normally wear, this will allow a flow in the material, which will disguise as much of the human shape. Then you will want to buy a ghillie suit kit or, at least 10 yards of burlap and some clothing dye (browns/beiges and a couple of shades of greens) at a fabric shop. Dye 1 or 2 yards of burlap per shades you have. When the burlap is dry, cut it into strips approximately 1 to 2 inches wide and various lengths from 6 to 18 inches. Sew these strips all over your coveralls, allowing to overlap, even sewing a few of the longer strips in the same location so that you can braid in real vines or tree branches without them falling off. If the area you are going to be in has a lot of shadows, then get some gray spray paint and spray a few small areas on your suit to blend in with the shadows of the terrain. This leaves you with a few options on what to wear on your head. If you want to cover your head and face, then you'll have to make yourself a mask, using the same strip sewing technique that you used for the body suit. Be sure the eye holes match up. If you don't want the fuss of all that on your head, then you have the options of a few different style ski hats or masks or camouflage makeup.
