wassup4565 Posted October 22, 2016 #26 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Vampire - now, those new some Newfoundland words: "growlers" and "bergy bits!" We did a small road trip in Newfoundland in late June. I was completely amazed by many things, but one thing in particular. We took a little boat trip with a local fisherman along the shore, and he used his boat hook to knock a chunk of ice off a growler. He told me to take it back and put a piece in my drink. So I did that, and couldn't believe that as the ice melted in my drink, the bubbles popped and fizzed! Not carbonation, just pops and fizzles. Ten-thousand year old air, released! We certainly did use those binoculars in Newfoundland! We never travel without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee60 Posted October 24, 2016 #27 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) I would definitely steer clear of Tasco and Bushnell, VERY poor quality. :( Bang for the buck, this intermediate sized pair is hard to beat. Read the reviews. :) http://www.telescope.com/Binoculars/Great-Binoculars-Under-100/Orion-ShoreView-8x42-Waterproof-Binoculars/pc/-1/c/5/sc/76/p/9471.uts If you want excellent quality, Nikon is pretty tough to beat... but more pricey. ;) http://www.telescope.com/Binoculars/Standard-Size-Binoculars/Nikon-10x42-Prostaff-7S-Waterproof-Binoculars/pc/-1/c/5/sc/67/p/114188.uts?refinementValueIds=5635 And if money is NO object at all... you can try these... http://www.telescope.com/Shop-by-Brand/Zeiss-Product-Center/Zeiss-Standard-Size-Binoculars/Zeiss-Conquest-HD-8x42-Binoculars/pc/8/c/1663/sc/1666/p/114668.uts?refineByCategoryId=1666 Edited October 24, 2016 by teecee60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
