Something I have not spent enough time on is firearm utilization and maneuvering at night….in darkness. Living where I live it is much easier for me to practice. Another advantage of living in the woods.
In the Instagram post below, I shared a photo I took while moving around and in between vehicles while scanning and observing the area around me. Having defensive tools at the ready mounted with illumination is critical as far too many only train during the day.
Practice will continue.

Welcome to A Survival Story. What follows is a fictional daily journal written by "Jed". Jed is a 39-year-old man who lives in the small city of Rock Hill, South Carolina. Jed recently started thinking about his life and the mistakes he has made. He has decided to start keeping a journal to organize his thoughts and try to understand not only where he has been but where his life is going. Jed begins this journal at a time in his life when he is considering whether he will ever meet "the one" and has just scheduled a trip to attend his 20-year high school reunion.
Jed is relatively physically fit as he has been working out with weights, takes martial arts, and rides his mountain bike periodically on some light trails. He would like to lose about 15-20 pounds but is not overly concerned about it. Jed is 5' 10" tall and 205 pounds with very short brown hair. Both his parents have passed and his younger brother Eric moved in with him a couple months ago. Jed has always felt the need to care for his brother since his parents are no longer around. He has been an active survivalist for the last several years - especially since 9/11. He has stocked up on a lot of supplies with an emphasis on the basics of "beans, bullets, and band-aids". The few people that know of Jed's concern for the future dismiss his "prepping" as a hobby and a fad. Jed takes it seriously, however, he is not fanatical about it and enjoys many of life's comforts like anyone else. Jed recently purchased a 2011 black Jeep Wrangler 4-door - a rare splurge for himself.
See how Jed and his community deal with multiple attacks across the United States. Here we begin....... a survival story.

For me there is no night. I have three Gen 3 NV systems. Two binocular and one monocular, All attach to my hands free headset. They all have built in IR emitters. The photos you posted remind me of when I used to be driving through the logging trails on our Ohio farm property, coming out after an evening hunt. I was driving an all wheel drive VW Vanagon Syncro which I lost in last years storm surge. 🙁 Anyway, if I turned on the running / parking lights it was like having high beams plus driving lamps on! I actually could see fine though will all lights extinguished. These devices have automatic kickdown which protects them from sudden light sources such as muzzle flash. Truly the way to go IMHO.
