Ghillie know how

[captain caveman]

I've seen documentaries of sniper training with guys breaking their suits in crawling through mud holes and moving a lot with them.  Pants don't seem too important and would be the most likely part to snag on brush.  Would be more mobile with just the top on.  I don't know if I'd use one if it's something I have to carry with me and put on once set up.  I seem to get into hunting situations very quickly once I enter the woods would be nice to have suit on and still hunt.  If it slowed me down that would only improve my ground hunting.

You can stillhunt in it, but obviously not through a briar patch. Going super slow and being acutely aware of your surroundings is key, which is usually what you do to be successful at still hunting in the first place.

while we are on the subject which is the best suit out there,, me personally I'd base that on which is the most quiet when you move?

[captain caveman]

Which is the preferred suit and what is the simplest lightest system?  I saw a bdu jacket based one made for bow hunters.  seems like that and a leafy hat could be a nice ultralight combo.

I've always made mine from BDU pant and jacket, filling in the front side as needed for bowhunting that I had always left bare for crawling.
 I did buy one a couple of years ago that I liked the look of and it is a Bushrag jacket/hood & pant. What I liked about it was that it is built on a lightweight bug suit and has the netting sewn on same as I do on my own.It's a combo ghillie/leafy type with the leaves made from sections of different colored mesh. I'll likely remove the leafy material and replace with jute because in the sun it has a sheen to it at some angles.
 No matter what type you get, bear in mind that  it'll be like wearing your warmest coat sitting or moving. I live in the south and I don't even bowhunt early anymore due to heat and ticks, which I have a new appreciation for. I have a close friend and avid turkey hunter who contracted "Alpha Gal" from a Lonestar Tick bite, Lyme diesease is bad but a walk in the park compared to Alpha Gal. I also spray the SHHHHH out of my suits with Permanone. Also as an aside, I wore my suit Turkey hunting quite a bit because it was my goal to kill a bird with my Shrew LB without a blind. Snakes are plentiful during turkey season and one day during a long sit, I made a fair sized Racer mad enough to hit my suit. Well...Needless to say it was on, because when a snake hits a ghillie, he sticks.

I use, and like, the Rancho Safari longcoat with no jute (ultralight).  I have used it extensively.  I use their boonie hat with a half face cover of another origin.
