Little story from my childhood. When I was 12 we were playing hide and seek at the summer camp. I came there with a whole bunch of red and yellow rubber bands around my arms and legs and a green rain coat. They made fun of me, but after I found a hiding spot and attached grass to my rain coat and legs thanks to the rubber bands they couldn't find me. In the end everyone was searching for me shouting my name because they thought something had happened to me. Before that they had walked past me 3 times before that.
@@theuglyhairmonster2 I can remember seeing one video where he was positioning in a few areas in the Gilly just to show how effective it could be. There was one position I could not see him, but the others I picked him out. Still from my experience, he is damm good and only with training can you even see him.
how come every time he got ready to say something, I felt like he was going to give me the secrets of the universe. Its like....wait for it......Brilliant!!!
Outstanding video mate. I’m in the middle of building up my own suit and was stuck on what to do and lost interest. Now I’m buzzing to get back at it so thank you 👍🏻
Additional tip to add texture to your leaves when drying them: add poker chips or some other similar item to the tumble phase. This is the same method they use to age money when creating counterfeit bills. It will give the leaves FAR more wear and should rough them up quite a lot.
What a great guy KM!! very generously sharing all the secrets and ideas on making a great leaf suit! Many thanks, mate. One humble suggestion, get some sail needles, which are bigger than traditional clothes sewing needles. Then just sew the leaves, raffia and anything else you want onto the suit with black or dark green nylon threads. No need to poke holes and much quicker.
You are my favorite airsoft sniper to watch on TH-cam. I used to have a utg shadow ops L96 when I was a kid and I'm 26 now and watching you has revamped my love for airsoft sniping. I'll start building a couple different suits and I'm ordering an ssg24 for a good rifle to use right away and an srs 16 inch to mod and tinker with. Awesome job on your videos they truly are great! Cheers from Wisconsin!
I like building my own ghillie suite. It gets really cold here in Missouri. So I made one out of my insulated coveralls. I made one out of a rain suite also.
I love modern suites... the wookie suites I learned in where so heavy and hot. BDU covered with fish net sewn on, and tons of jute twine combed out of burlap tied in.
love what you are doing, especially these types of video ( it can be hard to find any videos like this, AND in the UK marvellous . keep up the good work. :)
That "needle" is for doing textured cross stitching. Go to anywhere that sells knitting, crocheting, sewing supplies and you will find all different sizes of those. Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, and many more stores sell them in the U.S. and Canada.
The boilie needle is for carp fishing and attaching a hair rig to the boilie bait. The bait is called boilie, because you boil it to harden the outer shell. It is also pronounced boy-lee. Not bol-lee.
@@andrewmargan5677 Yes I know for that particular one is a boilie needle and what it's used for. I ment that you can get ones exactly like that, well the loop and catch part but it will just have a long and straight thin handle. They are used in cross stitching to add loops to the top of the pattern where when finished you cut the loop in half and fluff it up. I think that's how it's done I have not done it myself but I have seen it done a few times as a kid but that was many many years ago.
One thing I use to adjust the camo colors on gear I use is to use a small paint brush or even a spray bottle to spray on a mix of liquid Rit dye. It works well and should take a couple of applications to get it just right. I use dark green and dark brown similar to what you see in USMC Marpat or Russian Digital Flora EMR. Keep in mind that I play in NW Florida.
So impressed got my gal to watch and she thinks it’s great. However she said now I know how to make u disappear, nah but bet she thought it lol. Great job mate
I like this home made leafsuit design a lot, I live in Michigan where a majority of the forests are extremely leafy, autumn, and mossy green colors, so this really suits my environment, thanks for sharing the tips.
Pukka video KM my friend 👌. Great tips and very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I have now made my first ghillie suit, took a while but well worth it in the end. All the best. Happy sniping 🔫👍🇬🇧.
Thank you for taking the time to share your craft with us. Also it’s nice to put a face to the voice I’ve listened to so often watching your videos. Well done! Ontario Canada.
First I know this is an old video and possibly someone has already answered one of the question in the video regarding the boilie needle. From the logo on the packaging I can tell it is from the Nash Tackle Company. Nash has been around a long time, a great company with humble beginnings which started in Essex many moons ago. Sorry I am late to the show. Excellent ghillie crafting knowledge, thank you for sharing Stang!

Thx for this, ... I am not active airsoft player, just using my airsoft pistol for dry shooting, love to watch your videos though. Played a lot of IGI Project before and your stealth actions remind me of it a lot. I love your comments and approach. All the best 4 U, have fun and keep your positive energy. Greetings form Poland.
This vid is so good it’s up in the best of all time for me. Nice to see your face. Do more I would be interested in load out and how u do your boots. Keep going your a legend 👍👍
Its a gated boilie needle... Pronounced (boy-lee) Useful tool for us carp fisherman... Can pick them up pretty easy and in different sizes... The one you are using is made by nash tackle. Nash captive boilie needle...
Used to play paintball for several years and after enjoying several of your videos i feel pretty intrigued to try out airsoft myself. I'm coming from an army family (my stepdad served in the royal army) and i wonder...did you serve in the forces yourself or did you become as good a shooter just by playing airsoft?
Really informative! Thanks for sharring Kicking Mustang! Im using your video's to help me craft my suit. I really appreciate you taking the time to post! Thanks mate!
@kickingmustang this guy is a master sniper and stealth airsofter with a great TH-cam Channel, he really deserves more than 366k subs , he deserves around a million and the least🙏👌😕😁🤯
this is amazing he looks so much like maynard james keenan from tool... well depending on whos older maynard james keenan my just look like kickingmustang instead lol this just made my morning lol
Awesome video thanks very much for the tips and tricks mate it's a gate latch needle available from most fishing tackle shops in the carp fishing section
The needle you are referring you is often referred to in the US and Canada as a "rug hooking needle". You can find them at craft stores, but I usually gab them used from SOS stores, Salvation Army, or any charity store for about $.50 cents or a $1.00 or so. I make my own tracker style togs using dive netting. as a base, and cut them to fit. Thanks for the great video. :)
fyi, with the micro tagger if you push through the suit and the leaf and then back through the leaf again up to 2 times they will not come off easily as they would only using a single pass, stitching them in with the micro tagger if you will. Been doing this for years.
thanks for the tips.i had a leafy suit n added your technics n now it is a great light weight suit that blends in great.thank you.best part is all the stuff is cheap on ebay n I get a custom suit for the low low .
another thing you can do to an airsoft-dedicated ghillie is hotglue a few BBs in some of the little recesses, no ones gonna expect that pile leaves to be a person.
Kickingmustang I live in Australia and would totally make the trip just to come out and see you in action, your advice and techniques have helped out so much my friends have gone from absolutely annihilating me to not being able to spot me half the time and you are so right shooting with a pistol and not using your rifle is so fun I’ve noticed that I tend to get spotted holding my rifle wrong giving away my position where as the pistols conceal my location little bit better
Short on time but this is exactly what I've been waiting for these past 12 months. Rest assured you're going to get a lot of late-night views off of this as I stay up way to late working on my suit. Lovely video as always, stay stealthy mate :).
My pleasure, Andrew. I'll do more of these in the future and take a deeper dive into the craft and applying it to pieces of equipment and matching the concealment to the environment. I often do Instagram stories and live streams when I'm crafting, if you follow me on there?

Finally saw Mustang's face
I can now finally die in peace
Most people only see a .48g BB at 500fps.
and you won't even see any of him on the field.
Now, there’s a face to remember when he yurns into a hillside flora again!

@@brett76544 It's because he actually changes the leaves etc on his suit, not many will bother doing that and just hope it stops people spotting them
6:58 Expecting a maple leaf to be dunked in beer, doh!
If Kicking Mustang wasn’t born, my ghillie leaf suit won’t be born too...
Thanks a lot

You can add/substitute alcohol to the rit die for a quick drying solution

Great show, this is slowly getting me interested in the sport.
Wow! That's lot... thanks.. finally spotted you! 😆 pew pew!
Its pronounced"Boil'ey" they are a round processed fishing bait used for carp fishing. Good video mate
Just came across your channel mate. Why aren’t you in the British Army? We need guys like you. Your cam and concealment skills are outstanding 👍🏼
brilliant video mate thanks
Hey mate thanks a lot for this video! I'm a huge fan of your videos!
that cat tho... zero F's given lol
thanks for the tips.i had a leafy suit n added your technics n now it is a great light weight suit that blends in great.thank you.best part is all the stuff is cheap on ebay n I get a custom suit for the low low .
Thank you brother. I've been trying for months to see how you built your ghillie. Pitty that the sneaky leaves are so expensive.
this man is the shit!! RESPECT! def my fav airsoft youtuber! keep it up bro love da vidz
U could Make a drinking game outta the times you said "cheat" lol
wow! swampsniper is using ssg24 awesome!
So this is the man in the bush
Take a look at fly fishing needles (bobbin threaders). You should easily pull wire type stuff through.. :)
You boil the leaf's in a pot on the stove. That will soften them up too
I know this is an older video, but thank you for the tips. It's helped me re-create your webbing with pack and it's awesome.
We have hobby shops that sell all of this type of stuff iam glad i watched this vid ty very much hopefully i can make one as good as you lol
Nice vid thanks for the for the face ! love the hunt vi d's , hay mustang becareful of the boogieman !
You were about to say what part ink, so is it like 1 part ink and 3 part water or what?
I believe the needle you are using is the same as a Crocheting needle... that's what I use ... u can find them in the sewing section at any Walmart
another thing you can do to an airsoft-dedicated ghillie is hotglue a few BBs in some of the little recesses, no ones gonna expect that pile leaves to be a person.
This video is a HUGE help brother. Thank you!
shoe goo! nice mate, i've used it many years with repairing my skateboard shoes :P not for sale anymore in the Netherlands
