I started one but it can take a very long time to do properly ,...
Its up to you what you want to use for a base for full coverage many people like old green coveralls , reinforce the knees and elbows with tough patches of leather or similar , then sew or use shoe glue to attach fish netting
paint olive ,...next get alot of burlap & dye it a few colors like olive , tan brown , whatever matches your environment , then the long part ,..separate the individual strands of burlap,.. mix up the colors ,..when you have a handful of strands about 8 inches long tie them to the netting & repeat ,...that's the basic concept
the most important thing is to have a very shaggy or bushy hood or hat , to break up the shoulder head silhouette, if you want something thats quicker to get in & out of & can be rolled up & carried you could look at second hand stores for an old overcoat you could die & apply the same process to ,..or even
just make a blanket that you can wrap into ..
also be aware of your materials like burlap can be very flammable , you should find some fire
retardant treatment to apply as well , if you are ever near a heat source you could easily become a human torch,...be careful...
