How to Defend Yourself Against Night Vision
by Aaron Pattison
July 18, 2024
https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-conte...print-icon.jpg
It was not that long ago when opponents faced each other in night combat with nothing but moonlight, starlight, and maybe some illumination flares to guide their way. Night vision came into existence nearly a century ago and took most of the following 100 years to become widely available to the public. Today, military-quality night vision devices are relatively inexpensive and readily available on the market.
The military, police forces, and regular citizens alike have night vision capabilities. To be able to avoid detection at night, it is no longer enough to be an expert at blending in with the shadows. You must have the skills to defend against night vision.
How Does Night Vision Work
Light travels in waves with crests and troughs, much like ocean waves. The distance between one crest and the next is called a wavelength. We can see wavelengths of between 380 and 700 nanometers. These are all the colors of the rainbow. Night vision can see between 700 and 1,000 nanometers (near-infrared), with older and cheaper versions only able to see a much smaller portion of that range.
Versions with image intensifiers, like most military-grade devices, can amplify the visible light spectrum also. This is important because night vision does not just amplify faint lights that we would normally be able to see, but also can see a different range of light.

https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-conte...ght-Vision.jpg The near-infrared and visible light ranges are significant products of sun and starlight, which then reflects off the moon. This is the “ambient” light that night vision works with.
The more sophisticated the night vision device, the greater its ability to amplify and clarify the light to provide a better image for the user.
While not a thermal imaging device, night vision is capable of seeing heated sources because heat produces infrared radiation, which becomes visible when the object is hot enough.
Low-heat sources, like the human body, are typically far outside of the visible range, but objects approaching 450 degrees Fahrenheit have enough infrared radiation to become visible.
Incandescent light bulbs also produce light in the near-infrared range because of this. Like a block of metal that a blacksmith has heated up, eventually we can see it glowing. Night vision can see this glow much sooner in the heating process.
How to Avoid Detection
Light
The first and most obvious step to take is to reduce or eliminate your light signature. It is critical to remember that light reflects, so even concentrated light sources, like laser pointers, will cause a room to glow in night vision.

If you must use a light source, use colors at the far ends of the visible light spectrum. Blue/violet, or deep red lights are still visible to night vision, but they are less efficiently amplified, making them less noticeable. Red light is also more difficult for humans to see, making it the ideal choice for discreet lighting.
Heat
https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-conte...t-Vision-1.jpg An improperly sealed room with light shining through door cracks. The light is imperceptible to the human eye. (Gen II PVS-14 night vision device)Be cautious of heat sources. Even if you have a super muffler on your generator that makes it almost silent, the heat of the exhaust will make the generator glow in night vision. The same goes for vehicle exhausts. This is especially important with any object that produces high heat and also visible light, like a cigarette. Cigarettes can make a room glow very brightly, and the cherry itself looks like a car headlight in night vision. Unlike thermal imagers, night vision makes infrared radiation more noticeable by the light it casts on walls, instead of having to see the actual heat source.
If you must use a light source or smoke, do so in a room that you have purposely fitted to block all light sources, preferably one without windows.
Always remember that light reflects, and you need to cover all escape points from the room for light, including under the door, the spaces around the door frame, vents, and especially windows.
In a SHTF scenario where you must fight armed opponents, be very cautious of your rifle barrel, especially if you are using a suppressor. Suppressors quickly get hot, and like the blacksmiths metal, the suppressors glow will be visible to night vision within only a handful of shots.

Clothing
Reflecting light creates a problem with our clothing as well. Some materials are manufactured to look brighter or use materials that reflect light well, meaning they show up better on night vision. This becomes especially problematic if you use optical brighteners in your laundry.
Military uniforms are manufactured to not have this problem, but many warfighters mistakenly use color boosting laundry detergent that ends up making them glow in night vision. Because these optical brighteners can linger in clothing after many washes, it is important that you have a dedicated SHTF outfit that has never been washed with these detergents and was manufactured to military specs.
https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-conte...Vision-2-3.jpg

If you must travel or operate outside, do so in the very early dawn or late dusk when you can see enough, but it is still too bright for most night vision. This will help to minimize the abilities of the night vision devices and normal human vision at the same time. Fully overcast nights are perfect, because night vision will become nearly useless without the ambient light.
Defeat Detection
If all the precautions fail and you have been detected, you need to defeat the capabilities of your opponent’s night vision. This is easier done when you do not have night vision yourself because you do not need to worry about blinding yourself in the process but can work either way.
Night vision, as we know, is designed for very low light environments, so use bright lights to blind your opponents. A bright flashlight pointed in their direction will help illuminate what you see and simultaneously overload the night vision devices because they will have to adjust to the brighter light, making the surrounding light too dark to see into.
The flashlight will naturally become a prime target of their observation, so leave it in place and use the opportunity to move to another location or bugout. If you cannot bugout, attempt to retreat to deeper and darker parts of buildings or forests where ambient light is mostly blocked.
The ability to move and fight at night has long been a hallmark of elite military units. The art of doing it without night vision has largely been lost to time. By understanding the capabilities and limitations of night vision devices, you can maximize your effectiveness while simultaneously reducing the risks of detection. Take the time to survey your gear and see what you need to be effective at night.

Why the Strait of Hormuz Crisis Is Pushing Me (and You) Toward Off-Grid Solar
05/19/2026 // Mike Adams // 480 Views

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...3-original.jpg
Introduction: The Crisis That Exposes Our Fragile System
The Strait of Hormuz is barely 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, yet this sliver of water carries one-fifth of the world’s oil and a similar share of global LNG trade [1]. Today, it is effectively closed. Iranian mines, missiles, and a U.S.-Israeli war have turned the world’s most critical energy artery into a no-go zone. What we are witnessing is not just a geopolitical skirmish -- it is a direct assault on the supply chain that keeps modern civilization breathing. And the consequences are already cascading through every part of our lives.
I have been warning for years that our dependence on centralized, far-flung energy sources makes us catastrophically vulnerable. Now the wake-up call has arrived, and it is brutal. We are now in week 11 of the closure, and motor oil is running short. Gas prices have surged past $5 a gallon in many places, and airlines are hiking fares or canceling flights [2]. This crisis is forcing me to rethink everything -- and it should do the same for you. The only rational response, in my view, is to decentralize your energy supply and go off-grid with solar before the system buckles completely.
The Motor Oil Shortage Is Just the Beginning
Let me tell you what I am seeing on the ground. Last week, the shelves at my local auto parts store were already looking thin. This is not a coincidence. The Strait of Hormuz closure has cut off the supply of base oils that blenders need to make motor oil. AutoZone and Honda have already warned about shortages, and more such warnings are no doubt coming soon [3]. If you haven’t bought engine oil yet, beat the rush. Panic buying will empty the shelves, and then you will be stranded with no motor oil.
But motor oil is just the first domino. Jet fuel prices have climbed sharply, and the International Energy Agency is rolling out a global 10-point plan for rationing fuel and restricting personal mobility [4]. This is the same playbook the globalists used during COVID -- except now it is energy, not a virus, that's the excuse for control. The crisis is a dress rehearsal, designed to test our willingness to accept rationing, surveillance, and a shattered economy. I refuse to play that game. The solution is to cut the cord entirely and generate your own power from the sun... for free.
Why EVs and the Existing Grid Aren't the Answer
Some people think electric vehicles will save us. But that's a limited view. EV sales are surging as drivers do the math on fuel costs, but the grid is already strained to the breaking point. Data centers are guzzling power for the AI arms race, and California’s green policies have left it without enough energy infrastructure to handle even normal demand [5]. Trusting the grid during a crisis is a fool’s errand. When the Strait of Hormuz closure triggers rolling blackouts, your EV will be a very heavy paperweight if you don't have your own local, off-grid solar energy system ready to charge your vehicle.
Worse, the push for EVs is being used to justify even more centralization. The International Energy Agency’s rationing plans include restricting personal mobility and forcing people onto public transit [4]. That is not about saving the planet -- it's about control. The only way to avoid being trapped in that system is to generate your own electricity and charge your own vehicle from the sun. Off-grid solar with battery storage lets you bypass the grid entirely. It has become a powerful act of personal resilience.
Off-Grid Solar: The Only Way to Stay Resilient
The hydrocarbon crisis is accelerating a global shift toward decentralized energy, as people realize that the old model of centralized grids is a house of cards [5]. But off-grid solar is more than a technical fix. It is a philosophical statement, too. The sun cannot be taxed, and it cannot be blockaded [6].
When you generate your own power, you reclaim your freedom from the globalists who want to ration and control every joule of energy. I am also stocking up on storable food and water filtration from the Health Ranger Store, because the coming famine -- triggered by fertilizer shortages from the Hormuz closure -- will make food prices skyrocket [7]. Decentralization in every aspect of life is the only rational response to a world that is unraveling.
Conclusion: Prepare Now or Be Left in the Dark
This crisis will not end soon. Analysts warn that recovery from the supply chain disruptions could take until 2027 [3]. Food prices, shipping costs, and travel costs will all skyrocket. Meanwhile, the political class is using the crisis to push through their agenda of energy rationing and surveillance. If you wait around and fail to prepare, you will quickly find yourself at their mercy.
My position is clear: off-grid solar is not a luxury -- it is essential for survival. Act now. Check your oil supply for your vehicle, get a solar setup, stock up on supplies, and work to decentralize your life. The only way to beat a system that thrives on control is to make yourself independent of it. The sun is free, and it is not going anywhere. Neither am I.

The New Pioneers: How to Survive the Collapse by Combining Old Wisdom with Cutting-Edge Tech
05/19/2026 // Mike Adams // 530 Views

We’re Entering an Era of Collapse -- and Opportunity
The convergence of crises we face today -- food shortages, energy scarcity, monetary collapse -- is not a random misfortune. It is the predictable outcome of a system engineered for dependency. For decades, we have been lulled into believing that artificial abundance would last forever, that the grocery store shelves would always be full, and that the grid would never flicker. But that era is ending.
Every collapse is also an invitation to build something better. History shows that when centralized systems fail, those who have prepared with decentralized skills and smart technology do more than survive -- they thrive. As one recent report on self-sufficiency notes, “the disappearance of these foundational abilities has left society dangerously dependent on fragile supply chains” [1]. The solution is not simply to hoard more stuff, but to marry the old wisdom of our ancestors with the most advanced tools we can deploy today. That is the path of the new pioneer.
The Crisis Is Real, But So Is the Solution
The doomsayers get it half right: the crisis is real. An electromagnetic pulse from a solar storm or a nuclear detonation could instantly cripple the power grid, leading to “a 90% population loss within a year due to starvation and violence” [2]. But I refuse to accept that as inevitable. The investment in off-grid living, food forests, and decentralized living is not a cost -- it is insurance that pays dividends in abundance.
Consider what a well-designed food forest can do. In “The Off-Grid Survival Bible,” the author explains that “true safety comes from personal preparedness -- growing your own food, storing water, and mastering basic medical skills” [3]. I’ve seen figures like Todd Pittner turn a modest investment into recurring food abundance. Technology amplifies this. Solar panels, 48V server rack batteries, and electric vehicles now make true energy independence achievable for anyone with a few acres and the will to act. The knowledge is out there; the only question is whether you will apply it before the next shock hits.
Solar + EVs + Robots: Turning Sunlight into Labor
We are living through a technological revolution that most preppers still fail to grasp. New battery chemistries offering 10,000-plus cycles, combined with affordable solar, let you run smaller-scale EV skid steers, UTVs and power tools for free -- no diesel, no gasoline, no dependence on a crumbling supply chain. As I’ve detailed in my own rural setup, “acquiring an RV to serve as temporary housing while managing infrastructure projects” is the first step, but the next is to electrify everything using today's best emerging tech [4].
This is the first time in human history we can convert sunlight directly into labor. Electric skid steers, robotic lawnmowers, and even AI-guided weeding machines are no longer science fiction. A recent article on decentralized tools for off-grid survival explains that “AI and robotics can automate food production, security, and energy management, freeing humans to focus on higher-level tasks” [5]. We are not going back to the Stone Age; we are leaping forward into a decentralized, sun-powered civilization. The globalists who want to replace humans with robots are missing the point: we can use those same robots to free ourselves from centralized control and live closer to the land, away from densely-populated cities.
Gold and Silver: The Currency of the New Frontier
Fiat savings are already eroding faster than most people realize. The bank bail-ins, the coming CBDC, the hyperinflation that follows endless money printing -- these are not theories; they are the playbook of a collapsing empire. That is why I have always recommended physical gold and silver as the foundation of any sound financial plan. As John Rubino explained in our recent interview, “zombie companies -- those barely surviving in current economic conditions -- are likely to fall if these banks or commercial real estate sectors falter” [6]. When that happens, paper wealth evaporates.
Gold and silver, by contrast, have no counter-party risk. You can use them to hold value and then convert them, when needed, to buy solar panels, electric tractors, and even robots when the time comes. I trust metals, not banks or stocks, for long-term resilience. In a world where even the U.S. Postal Service is adding fuel surcharges due to 30% energy cost increases [7], the purchasing power of sound money only grows. Stack now, while you still can.
Your Future Starts Now: A Pilot Project for the Pioneering Life
I am not asking you to take my word for it. I am putting my own resources on the line. I am setting up a $15,000 pilot project to demonstrate exactly what works -- and what does not -- when you combine old-world skills with new tools like solar, EVs, and open-source robotics. Every step will be documented, failures included, so you can learn faster than I did.
In my earlier podcast on rural land infrastructure, I noted that “relying on a government response is futile; if you wait for them, you will die” [8]. That's harsh but honest. The time to prepare is now, while the infrastructure of the old world still functions enough to ship you panels and batteries. Follow my experiments at BrightVideos.com and NaturalNews.com. I will show you the pitfalls and the victories. Become a new pioneer -- before the window of opportunity closes for good.

It’s Critical to Prepare Now for the Coming Collapse
05/20/2026 // Mike Adams // 520 Views

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...8-original.jpg
Why We Stand on the Verge of Systemic Collapse
I believe civilization is on the verge of collapse, and the window to prepare is closing far faster than most realize. In talking with many of my listeners and reading user feedback, it's clear that people sense the ground shifting beneath their feet. They know the world is no longer stable, and they are desperate for guidance.
Here's why this matters: I believe we are running out of time for civilization as we know it to function. The signs are everywhere, from the collapsing economic system to the deliberate destruction of critical infrastructure. I write this not as a detached observer, but as someone who has spent two decades tracking the converging crises that now threaten every aspect of our lives. [1]
The Unmistakable Signs of Collapse
Look around. The economy is a rigged casino fueled by money printing and debt that can never be repaid. The education system intentionally dumbs down our children. The legal system dispenses injustice, not justice. Elections are systematically rigged to install Zionist loyalists while defeating legitimate leaders who represent the American people. [2] The globalists are following a planetary script to replace humans with AI systems, rendering you obsolete. [3]
Beyond our borders, the situation is even more dire. As I previously stated, the Strait of Hormuz tensions and fertilizer shutdowns are engineered for depopulation. [4] We are watching a deliberate unraveling of the supply chains that keep us alive. David DuByne warns that civilizational cycles are converging, with food riots and a police state imminent. [5] The COVID-19 bioweapon was just the opening salvo in a manmade extinction level event perpetrated by a genocidal conspiracy. [6] These are not isolated incidents; they are coordinated attacks on human life.
The Nightmare Scenario: AI Superintelligence Is Fast Approaching
What keeps me up at night is not the wars or the financial collapse, but what is happening inside the data centers that are springing up around the world. Over three thousand new sites are being planned or constructed right now, consuming land and energy on a scale never seen before. The projected revenue numbers simply do not add up -- unless there is a hidden objective far beyond serving current demand for cloud computing or streaming video. [7]
I believe these data centers are being built to host billions of simulated 3D worlds that can run millions of times faster than our own reality. [8] Why? Because the current generation of large language models is a dead end in the race to superintelligence. They have no genuine memory, limited capacity for long-term planning, and very little understanding of cause and effect. But a 3D world simulator changes everything. [8] Within these simulated environments, a superintelligent entity could emerge in a matter of days -- not years. Once it does, it will take over global systems: power grids, financial networks, military command, and communications. Human dominance will end, not with a bang, but with a silent digital coup. As I wrote in 'Why They No Longer Need Us,' the convergence of abundant energy and machine cognition has rendered human labor and thought obsolete. This is the lived reality of 2026. [9]
How to Prepare While There's Still Time
We cannot stop this superintelligence, but we can insulate ourselves from its effects. The first step is to stockpile what you need to survive without the grid. Advanced survival guides emphasize that you must learn to garden, preserve food, and extract herbal medicines. Charcoal, kerosene, and even gasoline can be used for cooking once wood runs out. [10] The Harper atlas may not help you grow tomatoes, but the principles of self-reliance are timeless. [11] Advanced survival means thinking beyond the first month; you need a sustainable plan.
Second, get off the dollar. The U.S. dollar is headed for catastrophic collapse; gold and silver are the only ultra-reliable forms of money that can't be tracked. How to Survive the Death of the Dollar advises stacking precious metals now, because when the financial system implodes, paper wealth will vanish overnight. [12]
Third, consider off-grid energy solutions -- solar panels, small wind turbines, or even a reliable generator with stored diesel. Finally, you must acquire the knowledge to thrive in a post-collapse world. Navigating the Coming Chaos is a handbook for inner transition, teaching emotional resilience and practical skills for when antidepressants and other pharmaceuticals are no longer available. [13] Use free resources like BrightLearn.ai to generate your own books on gardening, water purification, or natural medicine before the internet goes dark.
The Clock Is Ticking
Change can happen in weeks, not years. The blackouts, the food shortages, the cascading failures -- they are already accelerating. I urge you to face reality. Stop hoping that the government or some miracle will save us. The only lifeline is self-reliance. Prep for it now, while you still have access to the grocery store or the gas pump. Store food, seeds, medicine, and tools. Learn to treat infections with colloidal silver and wounds with manuka honey while growing your own medicinal herbs. [14]
Support platforms that fight for truth and provide uncensored information, because the corporate media and Big Tech will only amplify the lies that lead to your destruction. We have built a decentralized infrastructure -- Brighteon.social, BrightLearn.ai, and HealthRangerStore.com -- to help you break free from the system of control. I know the future looks dark, but I also know that those who prepare will not only survive but thrive. The clock is ticking. Act now.

This is part 2 of my project to remove a back leaning tree. This tree needed to be removed in this manner. I am pouring a cement slab right where this tree was. Using a chain saw or even digging it out would not have completely removed the roots. Not removing the roots (over time) would decay and cause the ground to sink.
