Anyone got some ideas how to make this camo net more camouflaged? I want to use it against a tree while in my tree seat. It rustles a little but, sounds like the wind through leaves.

What's it made of?   Could you run it thru the dryer to soften it up any?  

As for more camo you could break it up even more with some burlap strips tied in where you can.

I'm not exactly sure of the material. It is waterproof/mildew and rot proof according the person I got it from. Thanks for the idea on the burlap. I was also considering lightly painting over it?

Uhhhh.....  Stick some dead grass in it, get it real dirty to take the shine off, spray paint soft edged brown or gray splotches, tie some burlap strips to it (the natural color is good, or it dyes easily). That's all I got man, good luck

After using a ghillie,  I would consider making the face of that material somewhat like a ghillie.  Sew pieces of cloth to it to break you up.  See the Rancho Safari site for examples.  They have their own version of a blind doing just that.

I like the grass idea. Maybe some moss off of nearby trees to help blend in. I'll definitely need to practice shooting with it on though.   :D

Sewing to it seems like a good thing as the material is pretty strong. I pulled on it and it did not tear. Thanks for the responses.

I'll second on burlap, but I would use strings of burlap in small bundles tied in the small gaps.

Biggest thing is break up that color with some other colors-  too much of one color ,  even in deer vision they'll see the cloak as one big dark object, so yeah add some other shades and textures, make sure you keep it irregular.

burlap, thats how they make proper ghillie suits ...

I would make a hole for your head and wear it like a poncho. Then like others suggested, tie some stuff to it.

My son learned to make his own "Ghille" in the Marine corps. Made one for himself using small square fish netting and tying on strips of burlap. Worked great.

Here are a couple pics of netting and burlap. Hope they come out OK....

Hey Joe skip. Give us a little more info on how it is made. Looks like the strips are woven in some how.

The ghille looks great in the photos! what type of fish netting did you use?

Consider buying a small pack of womens hair bands then tying them into your ghillie suit/veil at random locations. Then you can customize it with natural veg from any location you are hunting.

I would hit it with some spray paint (flat) to take the shine down. Make sure to stay in shadows or you will shine like the sun.

You will also shine like the sun if it gets wet.

Russ, thanks for the idea on the hair bands. I didn't even think about when it gets wet how it would shine. I'm going to get a couple cans of flat paint and see what I can do.

TW,

No worries...I'm a sniper, that's what we do. When you get the paint, stick to flat light tan or khaki...dont cover it up, just mist it lightly to take the glare down...

then take it outside and put it in the sun so you can see how it shines, and adjust with paint. Then get it wet and look at the shine...

Natural veg is your friend. This is how you will break up your outline and make squirrels jump down on you...burlap or jute won't do it. The hair bands tie in easily and stay there. Just bundle up some natural veg and stick it in there...the little cardboards at the store will have 25 or 50 hair bands for maybe 3 bucks....

Wow, again thanks for the tips. And thank you for your service. I like this idea as I've got plenty of fern and other vegitation in the area I want to hunt that will work real well attached to the net. I'm going to Home Depot in a little while to get the paint.  

I used the same method as Joe Skipp's son.  I used the Guru How To thread to build mine.  I used burlap and jute string.  Dyed it several colors.

After taking these pics, I made a camo fletch cover and a piece for one of my legs that I can just bungy cord on.

Wash your burlap strips and fray them out a bit prior to applying them.
