The only thing you don’t realize when you get night vision is that nobody else around you that shoots is willing to drop that much cash for night vision😂 So you’ll be larping in the dark alone😂😂😂
This is exactly why I'm going to end up with two units. It's so cool but not being able to take someone out with me really tampers it down. It's taken a few years but I'll afford another set just for that, it's a bigger investment than I thought but I enjoy it and nothing else is quite like it.
Just asked for the gubmint’s permission for an Omega 36m. Atleast by the time I get it I’ll have pvs14, team Wendy, and laser hopefully. Man I love being poor🌛
I went with a bud to play some night disc golf with my NVD. Used some glow discs and chem lights to hang on the baskets. Was actually great for getting used to depth perception.
I bought a pvs 14 in March and have put 600 hours in under nods since. Legit addicted to this shit. Night hikes and encountering all sorts of wildlife is cool too.
I to a lot of goonin myself and really appreciated being chased in pitch black woods by two very noisy chattering owls. I threw up the old M640V Surefire vamp light and caught their eyes easily reflecting from the branches and was able to watch them swooping down form branch to branch buzzbombing my head. Then they'd land again as I proceeded through their territory making a lot of noise and hooting sounds. I got it on video but couldn't film the NV tubes.
@@RunningWithSauce I had a family of pygmy owls over my head last night, and have had 4 mountain lion encounters this year, plus countless, elk, foxes, badgers, etc. Got the owls on video but my NV clip on recorder is garbage. And I also walked by some stoners making out last night and they thought I didn't see them but their blunt was like a giant fucking "I'm here beacon" under nods, and said "nice star gazing tonight, huh?" And the dude pointed to himself like he wasn't sure if I was talking to him 😂 Also have ran into other dudes with nods, which is terrifying.
me and my friends have had pvs-14s since May, probably put about 200-300 hours already as well and none of it was shooting yet. urban exploring and driving is so fucking fun
@@AJuniorOutdoorsman haha. Awesome. I’ve had many similar experiences with running into people that have no idea I’m there. Sometimes when it’s dark AF I’ll step off the trail and just stand next to a tree a few feet away and just let people pass seeing if their natural vision can see me. It’s amazing to me how many people don’t have flashlights or choose to use them. I ran into a family of raccoons that were invading a park garbage and they saw me but you could tell they were counting on me not seeing them. Half went up a tree and the other half split off went to the edge of the lake bank and hung onto the edge like ninjas. I had an IR flood on and their eyes gave them away haha. I got to the edge of the lake and just stood over them looking down saying outloud “I see you”. They started a high pitched chattering haha.
Great intro for the newbie’s and for us older crew. We also have our 4wheelers set up with IR so we can practice going through the woods without knocking our heads off🤷 Stay frosty, and TRAIN! ETMM
Thank you for this, honestly silly as it sounds I've never even considered obstacle courses and whatnot for training. I'm sure I'm not alone in that, especially for folks that live where shooting at night/surpressors being illegal is a thing. Good to have other ideas on acclimating to our units
That's actually very important. NVGs, at least a bunch of non-ultra expensive ones wreck your depth perception. You don't even need to shoot at all. You can just get used to how they feel, how to move with having 6 inches hanging off your face, how to sight your gun around them, if your optics work, etc. There's a whole different set of fun involved in that.
I ask every cop I meet hypothetically they catch me with this stuff. They all tell me as long as it's just that stuff and not narcotics they don't care. Unless they're gay-t-f
@@hunterbradley5550I tell everyone the same thing.. I can see your SBR and I could care less. As long as you aren’t gang related and or dealing drugs. Carry on.
Perfect timing on this video, I literally just picked up my first set of nods on Tuesday. Already went on 4 night drives and hiked some trails after work lol.
I’m working on that passive. I spent the first 15 years of my working life spinning my wheels. My parents and my wife have my back as I do theirs. Thanks for trying to plan for my kids future
80+ hours under a contract tube; doing everyday chores, like washing dishes, sweeping, and laundry really helps with dexterity and moving your diopter to match the task at hand. Driving without any light or ir supplementation is fun and worth while to train. But at the end of the day wearing the device and moving is better than looking at the device. ~Training over everything~
A fun idea would be force on force movement simulation, both teams have nods, one is trying to get from point A to point B without being see by the other team that is patrolling the area
literally any night airsoft game. I had a hard time going up against dudes who were local, played together but only had white light. Couldn't engage very well, and had to just keep evading for most of the night 🤣😅
Used to have dudes play catch under nods to help with the depth perception thing. Totally agree that moving around with nods is substantially higher of a learning curve than shooting. Movies and video games make it look like you see the same things, just green. You do not.
Big props for the disclaimer at the beginning and encouraging responsible fiskal choices. I know so many people who dig themselves deep for the new shiny thing they want.
I think it's Goblin Tactical that sells magnetic IR light bars so you could throw it on when you need it and take it down when you don't. Great video guys 🤙
I agree with everything you said, outside of getting high spec nods, I personally see a huge difference from extremely high spec tubes to closer to mid tier specs when it’s extremely dark
@@rudals1281when you check into or listen to nets practice writing the frequency, time and date the frequency is active, write down the callsigns that check in and any interesting notes. Because sometimes with a bad signal you don't get a second chance to repeat the message. I was told that a good radio man writes down the info as it comes in. Practice making antennas out of alternative materials. Get a battery setup together and a way to charge them. Then take your radio setup out into the field and work out any kinks. There are a lot of things you can do to practice being a good radio operator on your own.
Seriously who else does quality and informative videos/content like Lucas and T-Rex Arms to help the everyday guy who wants knowledge and may not have the means to do him/herself. Not to mention that the guy actually replies to a silly message I sent him yesterday…total Chad and deserves greatness and happiness for his drive and hard work (including everyone @ trex too) haters are just jealous of success IYSUS!
Also pro tip for those of you guys with Dogs: Night hikes and walks are so much better. No off leash chihuahuas to endanger your pup/dog and no people! Makes it a lot easier to walk with your trained pup off leash with a lot less worries
appreciate the approach and ideas. i bought a cheap ir google, that works very very good, but the fov is lame, there is a tiny bit of lag and the dept perception is off. i have rode my ebike, my non motorized bike, vehicle. with my cheap digital nvg, it was hard taking my literal first step, but i have gotten used to it. i figured from video games and vr stuff i had some what of an idea how to cope. i agree, get what ever you can afford and get out in the field with the stuff, basic ass stepping over things can be tough, on the bike i learned to slow down and trust the info i am seeing and not to react quickly otherwise i end up in a feed back loop and things literally get side ways pretty quick
I've never had more fun stargazing than with NVDs. The milky way is an amazing sight on a dark night. Shooting stuff is fun too. Saving for a thermal for coyotes.
@@KrisSays Trijicon IR-PATROL can weapon mount and has the wilcox style dovetail for helmet as well would be nice but it's expensive. Might end up with an AGM product, by the time I can afford a "Good" thermal the market may have new offerings. I figure it's gonna be at least next spring or summer for squirreling away enough dosh for something reliable.
I've put a tail light brake light cutoff switch on my Polaris and ride blackout with my NODs lol, it's so fun. I need to get some 12volt IR LED fog lights to mount on it now so I don't have to run my helmet illuminator on no moon nights.
I like to go night rucking, get out and just hike or walk after dark or before dawn. Couple miles under weight is nice plus it's cooler temps and fewer bugs
I’ve been scouring tacswap and Gafs and finally I am 90% done just need the actual unit. I’ve spent around 500-700 for peltor rangeguards on 3m mounts op score helmet usgi norotos mount I’ll probably spend 2k on a pvs14 and spend a total of 3k it’s doable guys stop being poor(I’m poor)
I don't have the budget for NODS I'm still training with white light. And like Lucas said the fudds go buy expensive Gucci kit and NODS just to look cool on instagram. And most of them don't train at all. They think buying expensive guns and kit going make them magically shoot really good. They don't realize they are a joke and would be embarrassed on a shot timer running drills
Jeez just found this channel after Brett’s recent video. The production is beyond immaculate and thoroughly enjoyed this video. Easy sub for me; my thanks from 🇨🇦
Lucas is not lying. I’ve been trying to save up for night vision for years, and to simply put it, life just happens. Something happens with a vehicle, somebody unexpectedly has to go to the hospital, house projects/repairs, etc. I’ve come to the conclusion that unless I win big on a lottery ticket, which I barely play, I might not ever own actual NV. I did manage to purchase a sionyx “NV” digital device, but now have a bit of buyer’s remorse after reading and watching reviews on it because of the claim of it not being actual night vision. But hey, work with what you have right and it’s better than nothing.
I felt the same way until I actually acquired night vision. I sold a bunch of stuff I wanted less than NODs and got a basic helmet setup and a PVS-14 and realized that if I'd just fixed my spending habits to begin with I'd have had it by now. Instead of spending a few hundred to put together an upper out of spare parts I could have just thrown it in the pot.
@@chase1069 I care about my wife and I being in agreement on large financial purchases. We have the money for me to buy night vision, but I have to convince her that the money is worth it and she doesn't see it as a justifiable purchase.
I think the biggest oddity is people who get night vision and then don't use it. I put like 200 hours in on my first month just doing dumb stuff with it Making a tactical sandwich at 3am is annoying because you have to adjust your focus to find every ingredient and then your mom turns on the light and kills your fun
easy way to kill NVG is any VWL (vis white light) source, so just off the back of the $3k + investment, i dont recommend folks doing the "white light elimination drill" too often, otherwise bye bye nods and hello paperweight, I appreciate the sentiment and off axis off bore countermeasure, but Lucas - most people, inc me havent got the means to swapping out tubes on a yearly basis. As a secondary thought, only the newer 'gated' nvg can even handle this and on the few occasions, whilst it shouldn't kill a decent nvg, it will most certainly kill some of the life of the unit, could cause blems and other issues. Far better to ID threat, flip the nods up, move off bore/axis, target with white vis , ID and return fire. Just a consideration, before anyone kills their hard earned green eyed investment. Stay classy buddy, keep up the good work. Enjoyed the vid otherwise.
Need to train with a thermal imager; All this will be spotted with a thermal, you won't be able to see the thermal sniper; in Ukraine you need to drive with no IR and no white light; there is also a ghost suit against thermals
Fantastic tutorial on training with night vision! This video provides valuable insights into maximizing the effectiveness of night vision equipment during training exercises. The tips on maintaining situational awareness, coordinating movements, and adjusting to low-light conditions are crucial for anyone looking to enhance their night vision skills. Thanks for sharing this informative guide. LOVE
Oooowwweeee, Lucas talking about financial responsibility is not what the gear goons wanna hear. Lol also no cokes with those burgers? Aren't they like $1 still? Idk haven't eaten fast food in forever.
I would love to aquire such equipment, but the cost is so unattainable for so many. Convincing my wife to drop 10k for a full setup is difficult for sure.
I agree with the not blowing a ton of cash you dont have on nods. However, for some people, it'll be the only way they ever get nods. We finance vehicle cause they are utilitarian transportation. However, we won't finance a superpower? I have enough money to buy a few dtnvs out right. Yet I still chose to finance cause if I have to lose something, it's not going to be my house. Over not wanting to spend a 1000 on interest over the span of 4 years. Yes, 1000 is a lot, but I'd rather keep my savings for a real emergency.
The only thing you don’t realize when you get night vision is that nobody else around you that shoots is willing to drop that much cash for night vision😂 So you’ll be larping in the dark alone😂😂😂

Damn my vehicle set up completely mogs these
So, what's to be done in order to pass the photonic barrier of the M300 or other sources of light?
I think the point is if you have white light and your adversary has NVG you have some advantages.
It's cheaper to play with your night vision than go to the range
Getting better info from Lucas than the army gave me lol keep up the great videos !
Where do you get those green and red lights???
I bought a pair of gen 3 pvs7. I walk around almost every night or go for a bike ride along the local creek path.
I got pvs7's too. They fucking rule.
Night Training Vision
Disappointed there was no "lemme get uhhhhhhhhhh" at MicDoonHalds
I would love to aquire such equipment, but the cost is so unattainable for so many. Convincing my wife to drop 10k for a full setup is difficult for sure.
The thing I don’t like most about walking around with it is stairs. Then again it’s nothing new since the same happens even when it is not dark 😅
You see in dark with it
Me: Hey man, i wan't to buy night vision..
Friend: Ok, what are you gonna use it for?
Me: To order Mcdonalds..
First I need night vision😂
No one I shoot with owns night vision, what are good ways to train alone?
All the same things in this video. You don’t NEED other people to do it
I like the vehicle considerations. Imagine rigging a vampire light to bike handlebars and biking in the dark for maximum stealth
There's an article written by a guy who basically got to borrow some pvs 21s and do this for a week or so.
The real scarcity isn’t night vision, it’s Toyota 4Runners now that all of guntube is showing them as a drippy preparedness vehicles.
Gonna be selling mine in the near future -Lucas
@@TREXARMS For what, a Conquest Knight XV or an armored G-Wagon?
I agree with the not blowing a ton of cash you dont have on nods. However, for some people, it'll be the only way they ever get nods. We finance vehicle cause they are utilitarian transportation. However, we won't finance a superpower? I have enough money to buy a few dtnvs out right. Yet I still chose to finance cause if I have to lose something, it's not going to be my house. Over not wanting to spend a 1000 on interest over the span of 4 years. Yes, 1000 is a lot, but I'd rather keep my savings for a real emergency.
What does the McDonalds robot say? Thanks for choosing McDonalds, will you run out of oxygen? My headset broke and i can't hear quite well
I have digital NVGs. I have the NVG10 unit and it works really well
Step 1: buy night vision
Step 2: realize that all the ranges around you close at 6:00 p.m.
Thanks for the financial advice. I have panos now.
When transitioning from night vision to white light you don't have to flip your night vision up.
More good stuff.
Take ‘em on a date and show her the stars.
the ending is the best part and most realistic thing about owning nods
