Which device, or both, should I, if any, buy in order to begin my night vision odyssey? I live in the sticks, and head for the hills when I can, and want to see in the dark while standing, sitting and walking.

I'm thinking the binoculars and/or the monocular with headset. I've seen the monocular NV with headset on the popular auction site for about $270 delivered and I'm leaning in the direction of that Bushnell unit, model #262013. It uses two "N" size batteries but I've located rechargeables in this size for $2 each.
A link for NV from Bushnell:

Cheaper alternative: eye patch. The pirate eye patch may not have been used because of a bad eye. It could have been used to preserve night vision for when the pirate went below, remove the patch or slide it over to the other eye, so he could see better in the dark (to better locate the rum, loot or fight). This really works as seen on Mythbusters. http://mythbustersresults.com/epsode71
