- Kid's Ghillie Suit- Tis The Season To Seize One
By: James Mizzell | - Kid's ghillie suits never really go out of season, but the weeks leading up to Halloween and the weeks leading up to Christmas clearly demonstrate the popularity of these suits. They are a big item for Halloween because they are a great scary outfit all by themselves or they lend themselves well to the more creative yung'uns that seem to be able to make them even scarier. Kids haven't gone into wearing them on the party scene, like "adults", but then I don't reckon kids do that much of the party ...

- The Details Of Ghillie Suits And Shadows
By: James Mizzell | - Anyone can put on a ghillie suit and do a fair job of concealment. Those who pay attention to detail will do a much better job of concealment. You will find that as you pay more attention to detail, a lot more detail appears that needs attention.

There is no other ghillie suit out there that brings as much pleasure, excitement, plain fun, or which fulfills dreams as much as the kid's ghillie suit. That probably has more to do with the recipient than it does with the suit.
Young boys have always played at war or games of conflict of one ...

By: James Mizzell | - This time of the year, two groups of people start getting restless. That would be football fans and hunters. The football fans start trying to figure new and more outrageous ways to get other folks to notice them. Hunters are just the opposite. They look for subtle ways to disappear from view altogether.

- The Many Applications Of Ghillie Suit Camouflage
By: James Mizzell | - The most popular arena for ghillie suits is by far the paintball and airsoft fields. The production of ghillie suits reflects that trend in that most of the newest innovations are geared toward paintball use. The newer suits are lighter, more durable, and provide more mobility than the older and heavier models.

- Ghillie Suit Choices Available
By: James Mizzell | - Once you decide that you need camouflage, it is immediately obvious that the best camouflage is a ghillie suit. In ghillie suits, the choices become a little more confusing.

Most of them come in four different color patterns, but a few may have six or rarely eight choices of color pattern. The very best (and most expensive) suits are built on a bas ...

By: James Mizzell | - Anything made by man starts to fall apart even before its finished. A Ghillie Suit is no different. It gets an awful lot of help though from the end user. Crawling along uncertain ground, running through brush with branches grabbing for it all the way, and usually being stored wet and dirty. One look at a mans Ghillie Suit will tell whether hes got his heart in whatever he's doing.

By: James Mizzell | - Anyone participating in any outdoor activity should always be aware of the risks and dangers involved in order to stay safe and return to their everyday life unscathed. There is an enormous quantity of information written on safety and it would be really easy to get swamped with info overload.

- General Article On Ghillie Suits
By: Anthony West | - The word 'ghillie' is an old Scottish term for a special kind of game warden. Back in the day, Ghillies were made to protect the Lords land from poachers, and adopted the use of camouflage suits to help with this. They would also hide in the long grass and wait for unsuspecting game to wander by, then jump out and grab them with bare hands. They would then take their catches back to the castle so the Lord could shoot it in the castle courtyard in a mock hunt.
These olden da ...

- Sniper Ghillie Suit
By: Anthony West | - Throughout the years, Snipers have been a vital part of military campaigns by eliminating commanding officers to cripple large numbers of forces. An effective sniper will eliminate an entire unit of men without them ever having a chance to see where they are being attacked from. A sniper does this by being extremely patient and calculating his moves with every possible consequence in mind.
The second most important piece of equipment after a Sniper's rifle is his Ghille suit. Many Snipers ...

- Paintball Ghillie Suit
By: Anthony West | - A Ghillie suit, also known as a Yowie suit, is a form of camouflage, typically a net or cloth garment. The Ghillie suit combines a variety of camo netting, hunting blinds, and rifle camo, covered in loose strips of cloth or twine, sometimes even made to look like leaves and twigs. Supposedly the Ghillie suit was developed by some Scottish gamekeepers as a portable hunting blind.

- Hey! Obama! Where's The Cash?
By: James Mizzell | - I've had some friends tell me that we (hunters and other outdoor folk) are in for a bad time because the Democrats are in the drivers seat. I suppose if you are a hunter on the level of the Bushes and Cheneys you might see a change or two. Personally, I expect things to improve. The next time I'm lifting a cold one with Warren Buffet, I'll ask him what we can expect.
It seems the country keeps going through this cycle. The Republicans go in and spend us into a deep hole then the D ...

- A Ghillie Suit-to Build Or To Buy
By: James Mizzell | - Once you have decided a ghillie suit is for you, the next step is to decide whether to build or to buy. If you're going to build, will you do it with a kit or from scratch? If from scratch, just how scratchy do you want to go? The Martha Stewart route; grow your own fiber and concoct your dyes? Not in this day and time. If you want a suit that will last through a couple of seasons, then start with a jumpsuit or a set of mechanics overalls that fit you well and are comfortable.

- Why Hunters Need A Ghillie Suit
By: James Mizzell | - I hear too many hunters arguing that a Ghillie suit is of no use to a hunter. No tool is of use to any craftsman unless he knows how to use it. A hunters gun would be of no use if the hunter didn't know how to use it. One of the most common arguments I hear concerns the use of "hunters orange". The argument says that if one has to wear the orange it defeats the advantage of a Ghillie suit. Not true. Game animals are for the most part color blind. The wearing of orange, with or without camouflage ...

- Learn To Wear Your Ghillie Suit
By: James Mizzell | - The Ghillie suit was a really neat invention, and like most really neat inventions, it was born out of necessity. Almost all inventions come from someone seeing a need for something and then filling that need.

Such is the case with the Ghillie suit. In the past, hunters, and later, military men were served well by their Ghillie suit. Today, the users of these ...

By: Jim Olivero | - Customization of your ghillie suit will give the most effective use out of this ultimate in camouflage apparel.
The base of a ghillie suit is made with a stainable durable fabric such as burlap.

By: Carl Saylor | - Ghillie suits, also called yowie suits, are a kind of camouflage clothing that will make you look like a part of the underbrush.
