I am going to be purchasing a new pair of binoculars. I mainly use them for hunting in northern MN woods with some field hunting plus just general use during the summer. What power do your recommend and why? I currently use a pair of Nikon compact 10x42's. I have been looking at the Nikon Monarch and Cabela's Pine Ridge 8x42 and 10x42's.
Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology. Battery powdered items will always have their place. I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!! That would be a bit loud and smokey!
That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty. Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.
As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows, you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
