    Yes. (unless you're soaking wet all the time you are wearing it)

    Burlap and Jute are very flammable and it's not easy to get out of the suits depending on how you have made them. Spend the money so you don't die a horrific death.

    Oh, yah....when he speaks of "each side" he means each side of the square/diamond that the net makes. So netting is a bunch of intersecting lines therefore creating squares/diamonds. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

    Hi guys new to the group and have a rather urgent question. I have a scenario game this weekend and need to finish up my ghillie. I have sewn the netting to the bdu tops and bottoms and... now I can't figure out how to connect the burlap. Do I have to sew every one on and then hot glue or shoe goo the thread to stay, or use zip ties, or use bare thread. I want the suit to look like desert colored dreadlocks.

    instant message me directly if it helps [email protected].
