    2017 Update: I did get out and field it a bit, but I didn't get a full day in. I will try to get some video to show the concealment value once spring arrives (again). I have taken the time to fray some of the burlap strips by hand this winter, too. I focused mainly on the edges and top and tried to keep the intact strips at various intervals to help represent leaves.

    Using a snow pile to help clarify the details.

    It doesn't weigh too much; I believe my wool jacket weighs more than this entire ghillie.
