Camping with Night Vision Goggles

Жыл бұрынJoin me as I spend 24 hours camping with night vision goggles. I find a place to camp, setup the tent, get a fire going and cook some food. All whilst wearing some night vision goggles.

I like that you showed what those particular "night vision" glasses actually do. That loss of depth perception is a big deal though if you are doing any kind of work where you could hurt yourself by accident: setting up camp, making hot food, etc. I am glad you left the footage from the goggles in so we can see what it looks like. Awesome that they have the ability to record. Will look forward to your exploration of this. Glad you're well enough to camp again.

Atleast where you live there is no bears, wolves or cougars (mountain lions) to worry about. Here on Vancouver island in Western Canada you would be freaked by the number of mt lions around at night in the bush.

Swedish meatballs taste so different due to the allspice and nutmeg seasonings rather than the basil and oregano, and possibly parmesan that Italian style meatballs feature. I make the Swedish kind often, here in the western USA.

@snarkywriter1317 Жыл бұрын
If this unit has an IR illuminator and you have it turned on, it would basically look like someone walking around with a flashlight/spotlight (depending on how strong the IR illuminator is and what generation the other set of NVGs are) to other people in NVGs (military or otherwise). If not, they wouldn't really put off any ambient light outside of the light the screen puts out. The main difference between military and these kinds of NVGs are that military units tend to be analog image intensifiers and these units are digital (basically a digital camera with a toggle-able IR filter or the IR filter removed entirely). Hopefully that makes sense.

Hi Mike! Thnx for all your interesting and usefull vids! You asked for the yummyyummy „swedish meatballs“: they are named „Köttbullar“ and are made of minced meat (best one is Elk!) with slightly oriental herbs. The myth is, that the swedish king Karl was trapped by Osmans and brought the „Köfte“ to Sweden. But they were well known before his „royal holidays“ - maybe without the oriental touch… Stay on healthy and thumbs up! Ole

Oh yeah they are good. It’s just I don’t personally think they’re great for when moving around. Great if you are stationary and looking around. But moving with them and doing things with your hands they’re not wide angle enough. It’s ok when looking out ahead of you and moving. But when looking down and trying to do things that was when it threw me off.
@teachgold Жыл бұрын
To be stealthy you can't have a visible fire. Chem heat MRE's could be a better solution. I live in NW USA and we have night critters like bears and cougars, making solo tree camping safer. Military grade night vision is the best choice. The other thing to consider is cooking food with an odor (Swedish meatballs).

The reason you're feeling nauseous is because it's not phosphorus tubes that are as fast as light is. You're using a camera recording and the screen has a slight delay, that coupled with the delay of the eyes is very hard for the brain to understand.

I had night vision monocular I used to spot rabbits before lamping them. Found it messed up my eyesight for half hour after using it. I found it best to use the night vision on my left eye but keep my right eye for the rifle scope and lamp. Sold it because I didn't like the temp eye problems it caused. Like the video and that bivvi bag is so compact

By using it then abruptly not, you are messing with your natural night vision. Its the same if you dont use a headlamp at night then turn it on and back off. Your eyes tend to have a hard time adjusting.

Some proper NVGs do have IR light sources on the units. Night vision doesn’t work in complete darkness and still needs a light source to be used. That’s why IR is used, visible in night vision but not to the human eye.

That was good footage with the night vision. Maybe next time bring some meat and distribute it20 or 30 meters from your camp and see if foxes or badgers come for it. You should get a tiny little battery powered inflator because using your breath puts moisture into the pad interior which will grow mould as it is stored, and they can also blow air into the camp fire if you happen to be struggling with damp wood or whatever
