Should I make my own ghillie suit?

Posted February 16th, 2010.

Everyone wants Ghillie Suits, but they are pricey.  By purchasing a kit you can save a good amount of money and considerable amount of time. With a Ghillie kit, it will still take you about 5-6 hours to complete your Ghillie suit or you can always buy a pre made suit.  If you wish to make your own Ghillie, the easiest way to start is by purchasing a Ghillie Kit. These kits are available in pre-pattern packages like a “woodland Ghillie kit” or you can get custom packages where you choose your own colors. The kits contain everything you need to make a Ghillie suit like pre-cut jute (burlap or hessian) threads generally available in 7-8 colors and full instruction guide for assembling them.
