Guys, I am making...

A Ghillie Suit! :D Awsum, right? Since the good ones are over $60, and the cheap ones are crap, I decided to make my own, using this tutorial:

~~So, yeah. I don't have the supplies yet so I only have prototype version of the head wear that I didn't sow yet. I'm buying the supplies probably on Thursday.~~ I'll keep you updated.

FINAL OUTCOME!! Few bald spots left but I'll fix that when I'm done with the complete suit:

SUMMARY OF HEADPIECE:

It camouflages in pretty well, especially with vegetation in it. You can wear it as a neck piece or as a head piece. Which ever you choose to do so. You have to tighten the jute every now and then but that's okay. Very nice outcome.

You use a rifle to duck hunt? How does that work?

It's not really a rifle,it's one of those pellet-type guns,I just call them rifles in short terms.

An Airsoft Gun with plastic BB's or a BB Gun with metal BB's?

It's safe to assume a pellet gun with metal BB's. Don't think an airsoft gun would kill a duck.

Well, if it has a high FPS, it could injure it and make it fall down. Then get a Golden/Black/Chocolate Labrador Retriever to retrieve it.

I just finished gluing on the net, I just need to glue another netting to the front, and I can start dying the jute! I'll post pictures later.

The mask reminds me of Halo. That was actually quick.

It was pretty quick. See, it'd pretty easy to do everything as long as your patient and if you have some experience with art and/or crafts.. I actually messed up when I was cutting the netting because I was impatient at first. I'm really excited for my outcome though.

Of-course. I'll be updated the thread after every step or two.

EDIT: I'll have to glue some extra netting to the front before I start adding the jute.
