I found a good source for large burlap the other day. If you know of a tree nursery, the burlap used to "ball" the roots works great! The burlap comes in a square and one edge is sewed, making it like a poncho. All you need to do is cut holes for your neck and arms. They come in lots of sizes...the 40" works best. The best part is the price, about $6.00!

I just hope that you guys that are making your own ghilly suits don't smoke. All that dry grass and burlap would go up in a flash that would kill you before you could get it off. There is a reason that the kits you buy are more expensive. It is called being flame retardant. In other words it doesn't catch on fire easily!

Jim thanks for the heads up. I will check to see if tree burlap is flame retardant. You could always soak the stuff in a retardant mixture of some kind. I think a solution of Boric acid and water might work, although I'm not sure what other problems might arise from that too.
I don't even smoke and don't know why anyone on a coyote stand would anyway. I guess if you shoot really "Hot" loads you might have even more to worry about. HeHe!
