He's absolutely right though. Go out and buy the material yourself, then sit down and make it. You'll save a ton of cash and also feel like you've accomplished something in the process... something to be proud of (no matter how good it turns out on your first try). It's really not that difficult to make something that is cheap and effective.
You are only saying that because you only saw it when you stepped on me. Bum!!!

Haven't had any burlap rot on me yet, even though my ghillie has been through hell over the years................ yes it tends to stink, but better than smelling like High Karate aftershave. And seems I've lucked out with the burlap I've bought at CT and Rona, both are completely fire retardent treated................ at least as far as the lit cigarette test goes. Even after a few mins a lit cig sitting on burlap only leaves a black mark, doesn't go up in a ball of fire like others have stated. Only open flame will ignite it.
