    Nice video. I am currently waiting to receive my HikMicro 10, so I am glad you think it's a good brand. 7:45 I 100 percent agree on the error of them focussing so much on hunting. Certainly in the UK, the most likely use for thermal scopes would be wildlife watching, not hunting.

    Really like the small bridge you built. But had it been me, I would have coped the rail instead of the post. The hollow on the bottom will collect water when it rains, and will accelerate decay.
