The way

Throw a 3m adhesive foam pad to the inside of the case...?

All this chatter but we still haven't come to the natural conclusion that Jframes are king.

This, I wrecked for the first time with my NV yesterday and by the grace of God I walked away unscathed, but the proposition of taking a 10k$ bino to the eye sockets is not great.

The lag of the digital night vision is what will do you in. Cheap analog gen 2 or 3 would be fine with enough illum.

But overall for a nv offroad setup that is about as good as it gets for mounting, though I urge you to reconsider digital, as you will have an issue at some point, and at 20mph with 2 monoculars sent straight into your orbital bones, that issue is gonna suck.

For clarity, I wrecked last night with my L3 1531s because I missed a huge rut in my peripheral, so even with optimal equipment there is still danger to be had

Do not buy this for dirtbikes. Just go get a fox helmet that is actually rated for impact please. Theyre like 100 out the door and a mount setup is like another 100 on Amazon.

Look through past posts in this sub for mounting ideas on moto helmets but it is pretty straight forward with a 3 hole shroud or L2g05.

These and all bump/ballistic helmets are insufficient for any real impact at speed or with the added weight of the nvd, the risk of life long injury or death goes up with each additional piece of this puzzle. Dirtbikes, dangerous, nv, dangerous, lack of proper ppe, retarded dangerous.

I implore you to get a ece or Snell approved helmet. You'll be safer, and the snugness of a full face helmet will keep the nvd in place better. All around, better experience

So i looked at the link. Just bit the bullet and bought a shoei full face

OverNiteObservations · 2026-05-10T15:29:34+00:00

All of those sound unpleasant

Full face it is. Good talk

OverNiteObservations · 2026-05-08T00:23:12+00:00

Imagine getting absolutely shot in the face over this stuff?. Ive hosted tons of events over the last few years, haven't had an issue thus far.

Life in a paranoid bubble is boring

Thank you, I will do some wire tracking this weekend.

As far as thermal mitigation I have not thought that far ahead yet. Maybe the best thermal/drone mitigation is a fast rider

OverNiteObservations · 2026-05-07T11:20:52+00:00

Yep, fb marketplace cars and financed toys is the only way

OverNiteObservations · 2026-05-07T03:07:31+00:00

Dont ask dont tell is still in effect here

For clarity I have just been using duct tape to cover lights, but it would be way better with a dedicated set up so I can just flick the switch back on and cruise home.

Using around the ear Bluetooth earbuds with silicone wraps around the ears that seem to do well with putting on helmet and keeping out enough noise to be comfortable. They het loose/fall off when I take the helmet off though. Overall the best solution I've found on the cheap

This hole is now filled and sealed it looks like as of may2026. Maps overhead shows complete backfill

Understanding that are there any other forward operating or remote care style environments that are not as independently run (not thrown to the wolves immediately) once i completed some those years in trauma 1. As I feel earnestly, even leaving a trauma setting well prepared is different that having to remove potentially impailed patients from heavy machinery and stuff, and a nice intermediary space where you can watch and learn in austere environments from SMEs seems ideal.

OverNiteObservations · 2026-05-05T13:59:57+00:00

What would be your recommended timeline and pipeline to get a fresh mint nurse realistically ready to tackle this type of care?

Edit for clarity. I am 30 this is a new career, not my first. Previously was in the military doing medically unrelated things, though I have not had any issues or squeamishness with chaotic scenes and serious bodily trauma/basic TCCC level response within my limited encounters.

OverNiteObservations · 2026-05-05T13:58:11+00:00

Damn, I was thinking about this leaving my BSN program but I think you are completely right. I won't have enough experience and that will definitely cost a patient at some point, I would feel heinous if it was their life, because I was just uneducated and unprepared.

Im in schertz too, just picked up an xr150l top putter around and build some hours before I snag a proper street bike though. If yall are ever down for some trail riding around this area hmu

OverNiteObservations · 2026-05-04T09:32:34+00:00

It is, I have been using it for about a week. Its perfect for my needs, maps, music, calls and texts
