Alright so this has basically just been a pet project something to keep me busy during the Alaskan winter. No formal training and no expectation to be getting shot at at any point but I would love any constructive feedback! (And yes I know I wasnt wearing shoes in the picture gotta love REI socks I plan to finish it up with a pair of olive drab combat boots.

I know it still needs some time out in the mud and what not once the snow melts I will go play in the mud a bit I am sure I can find a good mud hole around here somewhere.

Are you refering to a particular area or saying it needs to be even thicker all over?

I'm betting he was being sarcastic as I would say that you'd be better off taking a hedge trimmer to it, and stuffing the bare spots created...with veg from your location.
 
Re: Ghillie Thus Far

Busted. Man take out 2/3 of that jute. Jute and burlap isn't used to conceal yourself its used to tie in vegetation. All you're doing with that much is adding weight and making yourself look like a pile of jute in the forest. With the rifle take off everything and try using spider mesh and rubber bands too.
 
Re: Ghillie Thus Far

Looks like a good starting point.
I think vegetation is imperative
as far as weight goes that's your call. I applaud your effort looks like you spent a good deal of time on it.
