I am just starting to make ghillie suits. I would like to take orders from you guys and make them for you. I have one small problem, I have to figure out a knife carring system to use with it. Any ideas? Or would you like one made for you. Please let me know. Thanks. Gunner.

Ghillie suit's help needed.

I've made a few of them for hunters. The story I've heard is a ghillie is a name for british gamekeepers and they used the suits to hide from the poachers.. It would consist of strips of fabric being sewed to hang down and move with the wind making it flow with the leaves and natural movement of the brush. I made them in a modified poncho style so anything carried was carried in the usual way under the poncho.

A ghillie suit is made to conceal a sniper, hunter, paintball player etc. here are some links. http://www.kcsd.k12.pa.us/~swilliam/page3.html http://www.kcsd.k12.pa.us/~swilliam/page4.html

Ghillie suit's are extremly personal and hard to make, I have friends that spent way over 100 hours making theirs and they never even finished. It all depends on what features you are going to be incorprating into them, are they 1 piece or 2, Camel Back compatable is a must, Knee and elbow padding another must. What kind of material are they made out of, canvas seems to be best for low crawling but it is terible for walking.

Gunner,
Unfortunately this thread's subject matter doesn't belong in the Blade Discussion forum. I really don't think it fits in any of the Tactics & Training forums either. so.... to Community it goes.
There is another site that does discuss all things sniper that you might try too, that being:
