Thread: Binos for bush stalking - do you need em? Why and how?

I'm just learning the dark arts of bush hunting, so take it with a grain of salt... but always carry a pair - only cos they sit on top of my PLB in my bino harness (next to my compass, poo tickets and car key). Figured chest rig was least likely to come off in a tumble, so a good place for PLB, therefore I'm wearing it anyway, binos add feck all weight (397gms), so why not keep binos in there. Have used them more than I expected, mostly to look into the thicker edges when the bush opens up a bit (is that bracken or Bambi?), or to scan the odd slip/scree face that you come across, or for some areas I go where there's a mix of bush and open stuff. But yeah, when you can't see more than 15-20m, ears and schnoz are much more helpful (my eyes aren't as good as yours...)
