This collection of books will teach you ghillie suit constrution techniques using jackets, shirts, poncho's, capes and overalls. You will also learn how to make a drag bag. You will also be able to learn things like camouflage, camouflaging materials and how to train yourself to look for your adversary.
Whatever your reason: military, law enforcement, hunter, surveillance or paintball, building a ghillie suit has many uses. But I'm not going to lie to you, to make a good, quality one, it takes some money and a lot of patience and time. Let me first start off by saying that ghillie suits are just a tool, they are just camouflage. They do NOT make you invisible. Used correctly however, they are the most effective camouflage in the world. I have had people STEP on me while I was wearing a ghillie suit; it's that effective.
Scottish gamekeepers were the first to create the "Ghillie suit". Their nicknames where "ghillie", hence force, "ghillie suit" (the pronunciation for ghillie is "Gee Lee", with a "g" sound, not a "j" sound). They figured out, if they attached strips of burlap to their clothing, and waited patiently enough, pouchers would never even see them. It has then evolved into military tool for snipers, adopted by the United States Army and Marine Core as an integral part of their camouflage and concealment.
Why and how does the ghillie suit work so well? When the United States was first considering regular issue printed camouflage for their soldiers, they thought of a plain color. After many years later, they saw the need for better camouflage in certain environments. They then added more colors and different types of blends and shapes for different environments, trying to match the colors and shapes in the inherent environment to the printed fabric. While the standard issue printed camouflage does a great job of blending in with its environment, it follows the human form to closely. This means, that while a person might not see you in the corner of his eye, he most certainly will looking strait at you, since his brain recognizes your human form. And while printed fabrics try to mimic its surrounding shapes as best they can, they can never make a 2D object look 3D. The printed fabric cannot create black shadows as dark as real shadows. The idea of a ghillie suit (and why it works so damn well) is that it can create the real shadows using 3D materials. Since your outline is broken up, the human brain cannot distinguish your human form. This only takes care of the "breaking up your human outline" problem. The real trick of the ghillie suit is the color blends and the addition of natural vegetation to it.
Good luck!!
