We took a look at this handy, compact rangefinder. The Nikon Laser 500-G Rangefinder accurately measures distance from 11 yards to over 500 yards with 1/2 yard accuracy. Nikon 500G Laser Rangefinder is also called the Model 8351. The Nikon Laser 500-G Rangefinder has a 6x20 Optic. This means it is 6x magnification with a 20mm Field of View (33 ft @ 100 yds) The Nikon Laser 500-G Rangefinder weighs just 7 oz. The Nikon Laser 500-G Rangefinder has a a High-contrast digital LCD readout display. The Nikon Laser 500-G viewfinder includes targeting crosshairs, a digital distance readout, and a battery power indicator. The Nikon 500 is pocket size. To use the Laser 500-G Rangefinder, just look through its eyepiece and aim at an object, then just press the button. The Nikon Laser 500-G Rangefinder uses an infrared laser to determine the distance from the object in the crosshairs. We used this range finder for a while and it worked flawlessly each time. If you are doing any kind of work outside this is an affordable rangefinder in a small package
I bought this battery holder at a gun show a few months back and it has proved to be a real convenience. It holds 12 AA batteries securely. Since the holder can accept the battery either end down, I can also use the Battery Caddy to keep track of used vs new batteries. The batteries are held tightly so they do not rattle or make any noise in the caddy. In order to find the battery caddy in the pockets or pouches we keep it in, I added a 550 cord lanyard with a LED light. This simple modification makes the battery holder easy to find and easy to grab. Eventually I found this Uncle Mikes double magazine pouch which fits the Battery Caddy as if it was made for it

We have used bulk Alkaline batteries for many years now. They are fairly inexpensive and seem to work well in my digital cameras which are the largest user of AA batteries used by us daily. We take photographs for a living so we use our digital cameras every day and go through about a battery a day each month. Alkaline AA batteries cost us about $10 for 24 (More or less depending on Sales, where we buy, etc) this is about 42 cents each or about $15 a month.
So I decided to give them a real test. I went to the store and bought the bulk AA batteries I typically use and a pack of eight AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium. The alkaline cost $10 for 24 this is about 42 cents each, the lithium cost $19 for 8 which is $2.37 each quite a difference. The test will be how long the lithium last compared to the bulk alkaline. This will be a long term test, at least a month, or two. Stay tuned to see how this battery test turns out.

We took a few of the electronic outdoor equipment out to compare how they work. We compare features of the Garmin Legend GPS, the Garmin Rino 120 GPS and a Motorola Talkabout T6320 Radio. These are some of the most feature rich units we have found over the years at prices we could afford. These units give us a lot of information and abilities when camping, hiking, hunting, fishing and geocaching. Usually we pass the units around or if everyone has their own radio / GPS then the Rino is carried and the other two units are carried in the pack as backups.
Together these three units offer; two GPS Units, two Two Way Radios, two Compasses, three Altimeters, a radio scanner, national weather radio, barometer, sun and moon charts and a lot more.
