We headed out
to the mountains above Tucson, AZ to review
gear and test some night vision equipment.
The green pictures are taken through night
vision in complete darkness. We were very happy
with the quality and durability of this set
up. We will evaluate all these items more
fully as time goes on. Stay tuned for
reviews of each of these items. For now, here
