Mimicking Mother Nature With Ghillie Suits
You can ensure your cover by using special camouflage in the wild. Nature is your best friend if you wish to make the best out of your camouflage. Ghillie suits are special camouflage that mimics mother nature to fool even the best eye. You can learn about your surroundings to fit together the ultimate camouflage with a ghillie suit.
Wherever you are located, you may find materials available towards making your own personalized ghillie suit that blends in seamlessly with the current surroundings. This actually takes a lot of practice but you can make very convincing camouflage by taking various objects from your surroundings. There is almost always some sort of cover where you are at. Even if you find yourself in the desert, you can even coat some clothing in some flexible adhesive and cover yourself in the sand that surrounds you.
Depending on where you are, you will have to have some knowledge of what hides you best. If you are in a plains type of location you may want to try finding various grasses to vest yourself in. Determine what is easily available and what will not wear away too quickly if you plan to keep moving. Since the location in which you find yourself is most likely where you decided to be, find somewhere that carries many easily accessible vegetation and cover.
Many people may find it harder to cover themselves in places with little vegetation because of terrain restrictions. You may not find much on a dry mountainside, but a few bits of dry vegetation is all you need to get minimal coverage.
Ghillie suits have a better use when you use them to snipe and camp out in the wild for long periods of time. War, paint ball battles, hunting and any situation that calls for great camouflage can benefit from ghillie suits. A thick battlefront may be more difficult to wear a ghillie suit, but use whatever is available to hide yourself out in the open. You can decide who wins, you or the other guys!
Special wear resistant paints may be of use when creating your ghillie suit attire. This helps to cover your hands, face and other exposed areas in your suit. They can help fill in areas where you missed some cover or to help blend the composition nicer.
