Talking about moving through the bush at night with NVG's I will add that there is a big difference when using them in stereoscope. For example, the difference between fitting a single PVS14 (3 Gen) to a helmet and using a PVS15 with its two tubes. Stereoscopic vision allows you to judge distance much better and gives confidence when walking over lumpy ground. Same when driving, although the shadows for potholes can be shallow or deep, and you won't know that until you drive into a big hole. Another barrier is the cost of having two tubes instead of one.
While NVG sees detail the only time I have seen it surpass thermal in shooting was at 300M shooting on steel at night. The background of the steel was the rifle range butts and the thermals could not see any temperature difference. Of course that is absolutely no useful advantage when what you are training to shoot will be warm.
