I have an antique book case with pull-down glass doors. It is not completely dustproof, but I keep my binoculars and other optics on display in this "optics case" in my study. I feel like somebody when I walk past the case and eyeball the collection. But when my better half walks past the case and eyeballs the collection--nature calls and I head for one of my escape routes: the bathroom, garage, or basement.
Now here is my problem--What to do with 12 empty binocular cases (pouches)? Some of the binocular cases are rarely used, as I usually prefer to grab 'n go with the binoculars.
Still the problem remains. I do not want to discard the empty binocular cases, as they may come in handy on those pack 'n go travels. Also, if I ever sell some of the binocular models--which may occur as I find myself drawn to a small 70mm refractor that just appeared on the doorstep--"Honey, I don't know how that little ole thing got here. Must have been a mixup in shipping."
Still the problem remains. What to do with these empty binocular cases? I have thought of boxing them up and storing them in the bottom of a closet--that is if I can find any closet real estate that is vacant--"Honey, do you really wear all of those shoes?"
I also thought of discarding some books and lining up the empty binocular cases on a book shelf. Maybe I can keep them inconspicuous if I put bookwrappers around them and disguise them as old books. Except that Fujinon 16x70 case--that thing is huge. And the straps--maybe they can be bookmarks.
Still the problem remains.
Do any of you keep your binoculars in grab 'n go status? And if you do--what do you do with the empty binocular cases?
