I go camping various places in Ca maybe 5ish times a year. I like to go skiing and other outdoor adventures maybe 4ish times. Ever since I played with my buddies 'surplus' real NVG goggles I've thought they were very cool. Occassionally when I'm camping I look around when its dark and wonder whats around...
I own some pretty sweet bino's and nice flashlights, is there really any purpose/use for a cheap sub $300 night vision mono? They wont have nearly the precision of my friends current mil grade unit, but would it still be neat? I dont buy into the just because i want it, i should get it arguement. Does anybody here have and use nvg's for fun and really think they have substantially improved their wilderness experience? Is it all just a gimmick? Between their limited depth perception, limited field of view etc, will they really ever be needed? Or even desired?
