Once you find a good pair then order them on-line. <br />The link to the ones above is a set of nice binoculars but I would also recommend you find a smaller set for simply the weigh and compactness moving through woodland areas by crawling, stealthy movement or running.<br /><br />Below is a link to view before you search: <br /><a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/_AyPBEte6rk">https://youtu.be/_AyPBEte6rk</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-youtube">

UGRS and UTM are similar but not exactly the same.Response by SSG Roger Ayscue made May 22 at 2024 1:07 AM2024-05-22T01:07:26-04:002024-05-22T01:07:26-04:00SSG Roger Ayscue8761009<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would also suggest a Garmin Instinct Solar Power watch. it is >$300 and gives you real-time GPS location in multiple formats, updated in real-time as you move and recharge using a built-in solar panel. Since I retired from the Army I have done both air and ground search and rescue (SAR) and am a graduate of the NC Wilderness SAR Team Leader Course. It is awesome to relay a detailed and absolute location over a radio. Add to this a good range finder (I use a Bresser 800) also >$300 bucks and with that, and a map I can call a polar plot in just a minute or so. <br />If you have the chance add a Leupold LTO Tracker 2 Termal viewer. It is a high-impact aluminum 30mm tube that using a co-witness mount and placed in front of an M68 CCO converts the M68 into a lightweight Thermal Weapons sight, using the non-magnification feature on the LTO (It will magnify up to x6 but with the CCo use X0) and the red dot on the CCO, they can be co-witnessed on an M-4 to great effect. All three of these and a Number three with Bacon can be obtained for less than $1200.Response by SSG Roger Ayscue made May 22 at 2024 1:27 AM2024-05-22T01:27:27-04:002024-05-22T01:27:27-04:002024-05-19T15:58:40-04:00
