Am I going to get kilt in the streetz if I don't have NODs?
Should NODs/thermal be in every prepared citizen's toolbox, or is this just the latest trendy gottahaveit for LARP fantasies and Instagram flexing?
Recent events have prompted a lot of discussion and interest in night vision/thermal. It's something I'd like to have, that I'm sure could be useful in certain situations, but I continue to believe that for me the thousands of dollars required for the devices and accessories could be better spent on at least half a dozen other "preps" (of both the hardware and software variety).
I know there are plenty of guys who get a ton of use out of NVD/thermal, do night hunts, camping, etc., but I can't help thinking a lot of these tubes are going to get used a handful of times and then get left to depreciate in a dresser drawer.
I hope no one takes the question personally - I ask here because I'm genuinely curious and asking this in some other places results in people pointing and laughing and calling you "a poor."
