I meant it has a more pronounced effect, it was bright enough to get rid of peoples night vision, but the shadows were more pronounced on the lower end due to the sun just starting to rise. It seems like the perfect combo, get rid of peoples night vision while creating more large shadows!


Day 6

Spent the whole day studying, drawing, and playing video games. I rarely left my desk.

- Noticed the contents on the back of a bag on sunflower seeds. They are high calorie for the amount you need to put into yourself. I'm thinking I might grind them into a powder and add them to a few recipes I use to make high calorie/protein/fat snacks I carry in my EDC.
- I couldn't find my drawing glove to work with my tablet, so I decided to use an old mask from early covid as a makeshift one, the drawing gloves only cover the lower hand after all, you don't really need to cover the fingers for them to work. The adjustable straps allowed me to easily wrap it around my palm and wrist. The glove is just so you don't smudge the tablet.
- I read somewhere that red light affects your night vision significantly less than normal light. I decided to test this, and it seems to be true! I took two flashlights, one red, and one normal. After sitting in the dark for half an hour to let my eyes grow accustomed to it, I would turn on the flashlight and test out which worked better. While the normal one let me see better while it was on, the red one didn't kill my night vision when I turned it off.

Main takeaways
- If I have to use a flashlight I should pick one with a red light when applicable. Though the more intense light of a regular flashlight could be a great offense/defense
- It's foolish to think that a tool only has one use
- I could upgrade my emergency food! Could be handy for anything more long term.
