A while back someone was joking about infrared goggles. Some techy journal this week had the url to http://www.spystuff.com/main.html In the special products section they had Russian night vision goggles for $695 or a night observation scope for $295. I think the full blown night surveillance kit included both plus a pair of swarovski binoculars people were raving about ;-) I'm sure there are other sites with lots of other goodies. Maybe this will keep Clyde busy for a while... *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
I know Price/Costco (a warehouse store similar to Sams Club for you east coasters) has been carrying the Russian night vision scopes and goggles for about 2 years at slightly lower prices. I am not sure of the ability of these products to survive the moisture of a typical kayaking trip but they would probably work OK in a bag like those designed for taking your video-camera on a diving trip.

The ideal night vision scope is the ITT Night Mariner. There are completely waterproof and designed for marine applications. The make a binocular and less expensive monocular. These are gen 2 or 3 while the Russian gear is typically gen 1. cya *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
