FROM THE BACK COVER:
The ultimate in personal camouflage is the three-dimensional ghillie suit. No other concealment technique or camouflage clothing pattern compares with its effectiveness. Detailed instructions summarize the different construction methods and techniques in this easy, step-by-step guide.
Whether using a ghillie suit for military sniping, spec ops, law enforcement, hunting, paintball or wildlife photography, the ghillie suit provides the concealment edge that produces results...with hidden success!
*NOTE* - In late 2019, I decided to update the cover, as I was never really satisfied with it. I loved the cover photo by Adam Grimm, but the text and the background was too busy and difficult to read. The two older editions are shown just for reference.

REVIEWS:
"Hidden Success is the most comprehensive 'How-to' volume I've ever seen on advanced camouflage techniques and ghillie suit construction. From explaining environmental factors to sharing his keen insights on the nuances of camouflage effectiveness, Matthew Dermody's book is a must-have for those desiring to master the art (and science) of concealment. I heartily recommend it."
- Major John L. Plaster, U.S. Army Special Forces (Ret.), covert operations veteran and author, "The Ultimate Sniper"
"Reading Hidden Success has shown Matthew Dermody to be an expert on camouflage and ghillie suit construction. This is one of the most easy to understand guides I've found on a subject matter largely ignored by other concealment guides. This is definitely a must-read for woodsball players and anyone desiring to take their fieldcraft to the next level."
- Matt Stroble, webmaster and facilitator of The Art of Woodsball and Paintball Bible websites
"I can tell you from personal experience that ghillie suits offer the very best in camouflage advancements. As an avid hunter and photographer, I'm constantly in search of new ways to get closer to wildlife to get that perfect shot. My ghillie suits didn't cost very much to make, but they're every bit as essential as my most expensive equipment. I can honestly say that I would rather take second rate camera lenses and equipment out in the field than be without my ghillie suit. If you're looking for a complete guide to ghillie suits, you just found it!"
- Adam Grimm, Wildlife Artist and youngest winner of the Federal Duck Stamp Competition (2000)
"Well-written...very helpful for hunters and civilians in designing and utilizing a ghillie suit."
- Derrick Bartlett, President, Snipercraft, Inc. & American Sniper Association, author of "Staring at the Crosshairs"
"...the most informative book I've ever read regarding ghillie suits!"
- Bobby Whittington, owner and range master of Badlands Tactical Training Facility
"In the age of the 'quick fix', cheap ghillie suits purchased online are flying off the shelves. If you are at all concerned about custom level concealment in the field that goes beyond just wearing the latest camouflage pattern, Matthew Dermody has put together a worthy resource in his book Hidden Success. From wildlife photographers to hunters to airsoft and paintball players, this book will show you, up close and personal, the necessary techniques, tools and materials you'll need to construct a personal ghillie suit that fits your needs precisely. I've added this to my arsenal of resources."
