So I recently bought property and it's within walking distance to a huge beautiful national park reserve up in the mountains/hills. It's the kind of forest with very old, very tall, and very well established vegetation and pathways through the trees (see some representative photos below).
The forest is pitch black at night, the kind of darkness where I wouldn't even be able to see my hand in front of my face. I was thinking it would be amazing if I could get a pair of night vision goggles and walk through the forest with those on. I'm pretty sure I would see a lot of not-often-seen nocturnal creatures wandering around.
So does anybody know much about these goggles? Which brands are good, how much to spend? I've seen relatively cheap ones on eBay but I assume there's something about them aren't as good as the expensive ones, but on the other hand for my purposes do I need the really expensive ones? It's not like I'm going on a night mission behind enemy lines to hunt down some hostages guerilla style at a military camp in the jungle.
