Do’s and Dont’s of a Ghillie Suit


Things NOT to do:
º DO NOT PUT IT ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SUIT. It’s pointless.

º DO NOT BUY ALL OLIVE DRAB JUTE/MOSS. You won’t know the true color till you get it. I’d just dye it/paint it. Painting works great. I would buy a bundle of OD moss hair jute.

º DO NOT PAINT IT TOO DARK. This is a BIG problem with a lot of the ghille suits I’ve seen. Make sure to, once again, take your time and make sure it matches your environment.

Things TO do:
º Take your time. You want the best ghille suit you can get, take your time and don’t rush. All good things come with time.

º USE NETTING! Use netting to attach your jute, with some shoegoo. This seems to work best and saves a ton of time.

º Make Ventilation. Ghille suits get hot, be sure to use some sort of ventilation system. The cooler you stay, the more comfortable you will be.

  1. Ventilation is a biggie! There’s nothing worse than dying from heat exhaustion with your prey just 20 feet away and closing. =)
