It's been a while since I've carried binoculars into the bush with me.  I'm sure the technologies have improved since I last used either binoculars or monoculars.  I'm not looking to buy anything terribly fancy.  Mainly, I'm looking for an instrument I could use to spot campsites and wildlife when I'm canoe-camping up north.  I suppose it would be good if they would work well enough in low light conditions, too (such as dusk, dawn, and stargazing in the middle of the night).  It would be great if they could be durable and dependable in wilderness conditions.

I don't really want to deal with a million accessories (tripods, Smartphone interfaces, etc.).  And, oh, by the way, I'm not really wanting to spend big bucks on them, either.  I'd like to think I could get away with $100 or less but maybe I'm kidding myself.  I simply don't know.  I'm neither a camera guy nor a hunter who uses binoculars frequently, so I know little about lenses, etc.

Just looking for tried & true utilitarian recommendations.  Chances are I'll be too stingy to buy anything at all but figured I would at least ask around.

Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions you might offer!
