Answer for question 4372.

[Error: unknown template qotd]One thing that I've discovered whilst running around in the woods in the dark battling zombies is that it's not that difficult to see in the dark as long as you let your eyes get adjusted. Light sources are what interferes with that and make it difficult to see, and thus easier for things that go bump in the night to catch you unawares.

That's why pirates wore eyepatches, so that one of their eyes was always adjusted to the dark.

Basically, it's the light you should be worried about.

Plus you can hide better in the dark. Except for when things you are hiding from have better night vision.

Even with my pirate knowledge, most things have better night vision than me. :)
