After reading your post I could not get it out of my head that I had heard
about the red glasses someplace before. It finally came to me today that it
was in some pilot training material I have read. It seems that military
pilots, at one time, prepared for night surveillance flights by wearing the
glasses before starting the mission.

I also recommend learning to walk through the woods at night -
especially when there is NO moon (or limited moonlight). It's
astonishing how much one can see, feel & hear in *the dark,* since it's
seldom truly full dark. It may take as much as 30 minutes for your eyes
to become fully dark-adapted (sometimes accellerated by wearing red
glasses if one must be active prior to going out). Then, once you're
comfortable with a trail or piece of land in the dark, try going
blindfolded. One's senses become greatly heightened & it's a rush like
no druggie will ever find.
