THE
GHILLIE SUIT

WHY
IS THAT BUSH WALKING?
Have
you seen a Hollywood war movie, with a sniper in it ? – You’ll normally find
the sniper dressed up in a suit, that helps him blend into the undergrowth.
This is called a ‘ghillie suit’. When wearing a well made suit, and properly
used
, you should be almost impossible to spot by the enemy…. that’s the
theory anyway.

 

HOW’S
IT BUILT?
To be truthful, I really don’t know anything more than
what I have read on a couple of webpages. Rather than plagiarize their information,
I’ll just put a link in:

WE COME IN PEACE…
After many happy hours of tying knots in string, and fraying cloth, you too
can look like an extra out of a 1980’s episode of DrWho.

While I’m not
really after the ‘woolly mammoth’ look, you can really appreciate how useful
a suit like this could be, just don’t go out into the woods wearing this during
the bear mating season.
