Math & Burlap
Correct me if I am wrong...but, isn't 2 the lowest common denominator something can be "divided" into?

Why does cutting up a burlap bag make only 1 strip? Are we using the other strip as TP when in offline mode or something?

No clue, but you are correct. You need at least 2 burlaps to craft something out of them.
10 burlaps for the ghillie suit =)

GL searching them ))

its more cutting into strips, as in they could be still attached at one end and feathered

1 burlap makes 1 stack of strips. Considering there's really no use for less than 1 full stack (2 full stacks actually). There's no point in having lower atomicity.

Have had it happened to me once. Well I was not looking for nettings because I already had the full ghillie suit ( the new one ), ghillie top and ghillie gun wrap. But my connection was lost and my friends saw that my character was running towards the beach. And when I logged back in, my mosin, ghillie suit and my range finder disappeared. Would never run on the beach again lol.

Also, it can't be sprayed atm and it will give away your position because its color is tan. The best solution for the limited slots when you wear ghillie suit, a high capacity vest will do good. It will match when the ghillie suit can be sprayed green.

The best option is to go with the hood & top....both can be painted green, and as long as you have greenish pants on, you're golden.

why do you figure it's divided? You can simply cut it up in to one long strip, no?

Yup, one of my friends has a woodland (green) ghille hood and top + ttsko pants, pretty much invisible in the proper spot.

I'm just sayin'...they want to shoot for realism, then make each sack cut into 2 to 5 strips, and require 50-60 strips(stackable, of course) to make a ghillie....because...let's be honest... 10 strips, whether they are short or long strips, wouldn't make an effective ghillie suit.

In fact, I will go out on a limb and say..."I would like to see someone make an effective ghillie out of that amount...irl....because I think you'd just look like you have a wig of dirty dreadlocks."
