What
Are Ghillie Suits Used For?
Ghillie
suits are also known as yowie suits. It’s
quite an unusual name for a very unusual and brilliant idea.
Ghillie suits are an example of camouflage clothing.
They are used in hunting expeditions, as well as in competitive sports
such as paintball. These are
specially designed suits that are made to resemble heavy foliage.
Ghillie suits are first made from net or cloth garment and are then
covered in loose strips of material so that it resembles a pile of leaves and
twigs. These faux leaves are made
out of cloth or twine.
Ghillie
suits are worn by snipers and hunters (or paintball enthusiasts) so that they
can blend in with their surroundings. The
hunter’s collection of ghillie suits allows him to camouflage his entire body
and to hide from enemies or targets. In
military combat or in simulated play, the enemies and targets are one in the
same. A soldier would have a
collection of ghillie suits if the game were played in a forest setting.
However,
ghillie suits are usually used for hunting purposes.
Therefore, in hunting practice you are attempting merely to fool your
target, not avoid capture. Realize
though that your target will be very sensitive to sudden movements, faint noises
and in spotting unusual looking objects inside its natural habitant.
If you approached a target wearing only your regular clothes you would
scare the animal away. Wearing
ghillie suits is a way of lowering the animal’s defenses and creating the
perception that its surroundings are peaceful.
