Arctic Snow Ghillie for all the winter white

nothing against your suggestion, but i wouldnt recommend it.

when your laying belly down in the snow, or god forbid, crawling through it...all that "stuff" hanging off the front flat out sucks. before you know it, your suit is soaked and weighs 15 pounds.
i can get the same "not quite white out" effect by attaching a bunch of my fall ghillie veg. its natural so it wont freeze or absorb melted snow. that synthetic stuff is like a snow and ice magnet.
 
The only picture I found you in was the one where you were standing by the refridgerator!! That blows what mind I have away! You have got something there Cbass!

. No, I mean what brand/model are those goggles? I want a pair for skiing. haha.
 
What head/neck mask is that? Iwas looking at getting the exo-pro mask but not sure if I wanted the full head cover style or wear a hat.

Goggles are "Anarchy" but they are not as fog resistant as my Oakley Shawn White Signature Series I use for boarding.

I also have a brown one i use for the open prairie of western south dakota... Here is a picture but since this pic was taken, my gun has been painted to match

The head mask is UnderArmor Cold Gear Hood , BY FAR the most comfortable and ergonomic mask I have ever worn. HIGHLY recommended. When it is extremely frigid, i wear my neoprene half mask under neith the UnderArmor one.
 
I said before that the video for this suit was put on YouTube and I had someone make me an offer for it within a few days with the condition that i build him a rifle rag as well....SOOOOOOO


everyone ready to drop your jaws! I got my paypal payment today and sent the suit off at noon. time to build a new one. I want to post the picture...but its more of a surprise if I just make a link so you have some anticipation.

Yeah, Holy Cow !!!! Somebody liked it a bunch. It is nice. You did well building it.

Must of been starting price or a buy it now price with only the 1 bid?

I'm sure you had your reasons, but I wonder why did you list it on E-bay if you had an offer from the YouTube vid? Seems like just giving money to e-bay needlessly.

Did you make a couple of bucks on it? hehehe. It must of been the free shipping that sealed the deal. lol
 
well paypal was the only payment i was going to accept and they would have taken their chunk anyway on a money transfer...so i figured it would just be safer to set the whole thing up on Ebay to have a reliable transaction.

That was the price he offered me from the beginning.

His comment was "You have no idea how much i would pay for a suite like that"

I simply said "make me an offer I cant refuse. and the rest is history. no negotiation needed.

I will admit that the dude must have some serious cash stock piled to want something that badly, but in my defense...the material is not cheap and the hours I put in were intense.

The suits i plan to build in the future are still gonna be more spendy than i would personally spend...but I am planning to start patenting designs and marketing them. that way a company can build they WAY cheaper and I still get my cut.
 
Love the snow ghillie...I'm looking to find the photographer of the prone sniper with the partial grass and snow. I wanted to use this photo in my self-published book, Hidden Success: A Comprehensive Guide to Ghillie Suit Construction, but I could never find the person who owned the rights to it, so I couldn't include it. Any ideas?
 
Wow impressive them ghillie suits really blend well. Know you is the bush. I made one not too long ago just not snow camo and bought another for this winter can't wait to try er out.
