night vision is so expensive that it makes more sense to get thermals

@Wyatt@poa.st Depends on if you're planning on moving or sitting still at night. NV would be better for the former

@AirTightWoodDoor@pleroma.nobodyhasthe.biz mostly to look around and spot animals/threats/drunks Im thinking thermal might be better but i have never looked through one. I had a gen 1 shitty scope and it was basically useless other than "oooh night vision"

@Wyatt@poa.st @AirTightWoodDoor@pleroma.nobodyhasthe.biz You can use an old Oculus VR headset (has ir mode) and mount ir torches to it. Cost a couple hundred bucks. Hampture dude did a video on this a while back.

@vonjagerbomber@poa.st @AirTightWoodDoor@pleroma.nobodyhasthe.biz IR illum cameras isnt nightvision its the shit they give kids to pretend its night vision

@vonjagerbomber@poa.st @AirTightWoodDoor@pleroma.nobodyhasthe.biz not even remotely the same. nightvision uses special light tubes that collect light in the same way a glow in the dark sticker does. Its resolution and contrast are not anywhere comparable to digital night vision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zrdBpKv18c

@vonjagerbomber@poa.st @Wyatt@poa.st @AirTightWoodDoor@pleroma.nobodyhasthe.biz IR illumination will make you look like a lighthouse for anybody else with NV equipment...

@Wyatt@poa.st you can't be a prepper and a poorfag

@Terry@kiwifarms.cc @Wyatt@poa.st Imagine not knowing how to tinker and forage.

@thatfightnerd@kiwifarms.cc @Terry@kiwifarms.cc @Wyatt@poa.st imagine not having to because one reigns and commands and has the serfs to do that and one's will is an order and one has boundless resources :-)

@Wyatt@poa.st They don't do the same thing at all. One is for navigation the other is for spotting hidden targets.

@wikifarms@kiwifarms.cc @Terry@kiwifarms.cc @Wyatt@poa.st You are an exceptionally trusting individual who has probably never even passed by a history book. You cannot be free by asking others to do what you refuse to, because they can very easily use that against you.

@Bro-Drillard@poa.st @AirTightWoodDoor@pleroma.nobodyhasthe.biz @Wyatt@poa.st Wyatt's just being Wyatt. He specifically stated he wants it to watch game, etc. Complains about price. Then shots on the workaround.

@vonjagerbomber@poa.st @Bro-Drillard@poa.st @AirTightWoodDoor@pleroma.nobodyhasthe.biz you didnt post a workaround you posted this

@Wyatt@poa.st yeah they use phosphor tubes that are similar in construction as to the ones 20 years ago, but the real money in NV rn is going into software image amplification. Which can be accomplished with much less expense if you are willing to use cheaper tubes and consumer grade computing

@Paultron@poa.st ?

@thatfightnerd@kiwifarms.cc @Terry@kiwifarms.cc @Wyatt@poa.st now you statement of: you refuse to do "A" you ask the masses to do "A" the masses can then use your refusal against you is imho illogical. I refuse to do the dishes I ask (order) the masses to wash them that is in the normal order of things, what applies to the masses does not apply to the Enlightened Ones, do you claim the masses presume to be equal to an Enlightened One? this is a subversion, I know you want to be modern and democratic but remember the masses are not one's equals :-)

@wikifarms@kiwifarms.cc @Terry@kiwifarms.cc @Wyatt@poa.st Yeah, what a weird idea. Next, you'll tell me that they'll compel peasants to read and they'll run around with entire libraries in their purses while living in houses with indoor plumbing and weatherproofing.

@thatfightnerd@kiwifarms.cc @wikifarms@kiwifarms.cc @Terry@kiwifarms.cc @Wyatt@poa.st sir that's too crazy to even joke about - I'm afraid we must have you committed >:(
