Looking for a Ghilli Poncho in NoVa

Post by MarcSpaz »

Guys, I am in Prince William and I am looking for a store nearby that sells ghilli ponchos. I have been to Dick's and Gander Mountain, but they don't have poncho styles. I also want to get the hood, mask/face cover and gun-wrap at the same place to ensure the textures and patterns match each other as well as the wooded cover we have around here.

Any leads on some shops that may be nearby?

Thanks in advance...

I remember seeing a suit (not sure if it's a poncho style) at Ranger Surplus in Tysons corner last time I was there a couple of weeks ago.

Cool. I am going to be up that way today looking at new cars. I'll look them up for the address and swing by.

Thanks.

What does a Ghilli poncho look like in NoVa? Has it got little high-rises all over it? :hysterical:

You wanna blend in NoVa? Speak Spanish, drive either a BMW, or a hoopty, and act like your poop doesn't stink.

There are exceptions, such as the fine folks on this site. :roll:

Make your own, it will be cheaper and you can ensure it will match your environment or there's a guy on craigslist that makes and sells them locally. Or hire me ;)

Midway USA usually has them if you want to order.

The ranger surplus store in Tysons is a good bet as well!

Pick up the latest issue of RECOIL magazine. Page 49 starts the homemade suit and adapt from there.

The squirrels will never see me coming now!

I am wearing blue jean shorts and a bright green shirt under this. Looks damn good in the house at night. LOL

I ordered 2 ghilli suits. A woodland-leafy and a swampy-grasslands. This is the leafy. The grasslands ghilli is being custom hand made. It should be ready about the end of the month.

They are the best match for this area anytime of year as long as the ground is snow free. The leafy for the warm months and the grassland for the months the tress and grass are dead.

I am going to shoot some video tomorrow to see how well it blends with the trees. We are starting our fall transition, so it should be interesting to see.

You're right, the squirrels won't know you're there.

................but you look so much like the woods you better hope a bear don't decide to take a dump on you. :whistle:
