I took the ghillie challenge (PICS ADDED)
« on: April 22, 2013, 07:54:00 PM »
Let me know what you think.

I figure I will have to do something about my arrows and quiver.  I loosely followed Guru's How to resource.

Hopefully I will find someone to take a picture of me wearing it so I can see what It looks like on me.

   

   

   
Relax,

Thanks Jeff.  I may melt if it gets any hotter outside.

Stacy, Thank you  

Here is the "How To"  I loosely Followed.

I spent about 30 bucks and have some left overs.
Relax,

Not sure, But I pecked away here and there. It was fun, Kind of therapeutic.  I'd say in all, about 30 hours but the next one would be about 1/2 that.  

I have found a few short cuts and if I had followed the "How To" I would have saved a lot of time and mistakes as well.
Relax,

You'll live longer!
