Troy, the photo in the lounge room is just a picture of a sofa. Can you see something else in the room?
Petra, it's called a ghillie suit or yowie suit and snipers use them for hiding in foliage or grass to shoot people. The great thing is you can also use it on animals to a certain degree, plus if other hikers and tourists don't see you, they won't walk up to ask what you are doing and scare your subject off.
The trick is to find a spot and keep still. I have to wash it in a special soap that has no UV brighteners in it, plus roll around in some dirt, grass or even some animal poo to mask the artificial scents.
JJJ, I'll keep that in mind!
