Did you ever make the apron? I'm curious about how it'd work with a pac seat. I've considered buying a ghillie blanket and making a sort of hat/cape out of a ball cap. I feel like if you draped the blanket over your lap and lower torso and let it drag the ground it'd really break you up but leave your arms free.I am seriously considering making a ghillie...wait for it... apron this year.
My thought process brought me to this because I am going to stake it out on the ground a bunch this coming season because visibility in these Central Florida public land swamps is BETTER from the ground in all of the areas with deer and hog tracks.
I do NOT want to try and fight the heat in a full body ghillie so if I sit in a chair, the breakup of human form will be around my head/shoulder area (ghillie hat) and the 90 degree bend formed from my legs while seated. If I make an apron of sorts, my theory is that I can put it on when I sit down. I am not going to still hunt with it on, only sit on a chair next to a tree.
I am thinking badminton netting and some very lightweight streamers of cloth, no twine or rope on this one because I need to keep the weight DOWN to make it remotely bearable to wear.
Another way I see it is, if anyone sees me in it then the ghillie didn't work and I would deserve the laughs it caused!
See you in the woods; hope you don't see me...
U want a cloak of invisibility too?Did you ever make the apron? I'm curious about how it'd work with a pac seat.

I'm torn. I bought, modified, and discarded a sapper kill suit last year. Felt like the hassle of packing and wearing it didn't outweigh the benefit it offered.U want a cloak of invisibility too?
To the nutter nut swingers.....good news for u guys this season!I'm torn. I bought, modified, and discarded a sapper kill suit last year. Felt like the hassle of packing and wearing it didn't outweigh the benefit it offered.
I've worn ghillies, built blinds, and just sat in a place where I felt sneaky. Honestly, I've had the most luck with the last option. Quick and easy for sure. I almost feel like a ghillie or blind just makes you a bigger thing that wasn't there yesterday.
But I really feel exposed sometimes.

Only silly if it don't work.If I make one I may post pictures - but the first one on here to say I look like a drunk Chef Boyardee is going to be sorry
Nothing beats being downwind and being still when it comes to hunting deer. In the 70's army green was the hunting outfit with post Vietnam surplus flooding the market. Millions of hunters shot millions of deer in green army jackets and combat boots. Today millions of hunters shoot millions of deer wearing the latest "high-tech" camo patterns covered in a huge orange vest....I'm torn.
