Navigation by night

[NorthernRaider]

As a soldier were were taught that when sensibly possible to move by night and lay up by day to avoid detection, but that was before the advent of FLIRS and PIRs, however I still prefer to move at night. That BTW is when your nose and ears work much better than your eyes. At night human eyes detect MOVEMENT better than shape. I find it easier to lay up during the day and the scope the area before moving on after dusk, thats also why I always say my max bug out speed at best is only a couple of miles an hour with lots of stops to listen and wait.
