i made a ghillie suit.

here's a better set of pics, for those of you too cool to read my previous disclaimer. if the suit looks like it has been thrown on the ground next to my weed infested flower bed, and hanging on a crappy tree on the backside of my property, thats because it is. i am not going to argue it's effectivness, because that would be pointless. ideally i would have a pic of me in the woods with it, but i don't have a shot of that. you would not see any piece of clothing advertised in this way, because it looks ridiculous, and is hard to imagine someone wearing it. but these are the best pics i could do. bottom line, cheap, easy, fun. hate all you want, but it gives my friends and I a little different angle on the same game.

as far as my sig, you need to brush up on your 80's movies. (hint: he is friends with Atrayu) as for the critique on the suit, Mack you deffinitly put an intelligent line of reason out there. and most of the things you have addressed i have thought of, and wish to make changes to in the future. as for using it/it's usefulness, it works, if i am hit, i call hit, it's purpose is not for cheating, just somthing fun. and as for pump guns, i did that allready, if everyone has them, great! but then friends started getting semi auto's, and the arms race began! so maybe one of these days i will post a pic of the woods on here, and lie and say that i am in there  just to tell you how great this suit works. but until then, just know that it is a work in progress, i will take the constructive pointers and work on it.

thanks.

never ending story! bingo! as far as the critique, i appreciate it, and speaking as an Ohio Air National Guardsman who has been to Turkey (worked out , watched dvd's) England (same thing, got to hold a gun!) Guam (caught a big fish!) and Texas too many times i have no idea about real combat, or combat attire. i turn wrenchs on aircraft.

i have seen some elaborate ghillies, and i don't want to drop the cash/time. lets just say that paintball is as close to real combat as i ever want to get. i seriously am greatful to anyone who has served the real deal. with all of that being said if my life were on the line, i might try harder with this. for me to simply tool around in the woods with my friends, this works. it has given me the element of surprise  multiple times. not like someone will walk within 5' of me and not know, but simply they are looking around they get within about 20' and i am able to shoot them. thats all i am looking for.

sadly no, i was in Incerlic, near medina. whats the compound?
