Decided to try amateur astronomy after working out a deal with some friends to get an Edmund Scientific's Astroscan telescope. Seen the first one when was almost high school in 1979. Have wanted one over the past 30 years, ye the company just isn't giving me the information I wanted. Read a lot of reviews over time, will see if it's the real deal. It should arrive sometime the day after tomorrow.
Been preparing, trying to locate the perfect night vision flashlight that will be astronomy friendly. Tried out two flashlights, first one failed left and right as a night vision light. The second one is a product so new it just rolled out at Wally's World - it's not even found online yet.
As always, I give each of the products I test a fair evaluation before posting my impressions. This latest flashlight seems to be a winner, and it even tracks blood. Okay, this is good for trackers or if you hurt yourself at night and don't want to ruin your night sight. It's also a good light to see what you're doing without being annoying to others.
Have yet another Leatherman flashlight review coming up, the Serac S3. Haven't managed to wear the battery down yet! That's a good thing. Leatherman wasn't able to locate a Serac S1, so cannot get the entire line up reviewed. These are the real gold contact lights, with longer battery lives and lots of power from such a small package. These beat Leatherman's newer lights to shame.
A couple of sporks will be announced, everyone should have at least one spork in their survival pack, yes? One broke, and the manufacturer sent two out as replacements - one's rather large too. The other is titanium, and also threw out a bone to Leatherman on an idea I had for their Juice models. Will post that soon too.
Finally challenged Nose Offense on their product. Have a cat that likes to make his presence known - more so after we moved from a normal house into a tight quartered trailer home. Then there are my socks, ewww.
Will see if Nose Offense will send me a small sample good for a couple of uses, and will post my honest results on that product. Otherwise I'll have to work out a deal without more friends to acquire a bottle of the magical stuff.
Just a heads up to let my followers know that I'm still alive. Putting a few products through the wringer; sometimes it's more work than one might think.
