The Vortex Switchback Tripod in Lightweight Carbon Fiber

@media (max-width:576px) { .read-more-content { height: 300em; } }

While it may still be a few months out, it is never too early to start preparing for hunting season. And something worth considering for your next hunt is a good tripod, like the carbon fiber Switchback from Vortex. Featuring carbon fiber legs and a lockable ball head, the Switchback can handle heavy loads and fast, easy adjustments.

The Vortex Switchback Carbon Fiber Tripod

Measuring 29 inches long and 4 inches wide when folded, the Switchback easily stores on your pack. Likewise, weighing a lightweight 4.6 pounds, the tripod won’t place an undue burden on your pack weight. However, delivering an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, it can support up to 44 pounds. This makes it ideal for heavy rifles, large binoculars, and spotting scopes.

Each carbon fiber leg features three twist-lock leg sections for versatility on uneven terrain. Similarly, three angle leg pivot locks also allow you to fine-tune the height and stability of the tripod. As a result, you can adjust the Switchback from a height of 5.8 inches to a maximum of 65 inches. So, switching from prone to standing on any terrain is quick and easy.

The tripod utilizes the Arca-Swiss compatible head mount, allowing direct mounting of compatible accessories. However, the included Arca plate will accommodate accessories requiring a ¼” – 20 threaded stud. Articulation comes in the form of a quick-detach lockable ball head. But a head adapter is also available separately for installing other tripod heads.

Under the head of the Switchback is a removable counterweight hook that allows you to increase stability and deaden vibration. Depending on the terrain, the tripod includes detachable rubber and spiked feet for maximum grip on any type of ground.

What the Pros Say About the Switchback

The challenge is real. You decide to head to the backcountry for a once-in-a-lifetime hunt. You know from experience that once your prize emerges, you will get one chance to make your shot.

With that in mind, you have carefully chosen your rifle, hand-picked ammo, and secured the best optic for the job. While all of that is good and fine, you still have the task of actually pulling the trigger.

Contrary to what may be seen in movies, the success rate of any off-hand shot in the woods has a low chance of doing the job. So, what’s the answer? Do you balance the rifle on some limbs and hope to find the perfect moment? Or maybe use a lightweight shooting stock, and hope you can get it stable?

Well, in reality, if you are serious about the shot, you need a tripod. While these have been cumbersome pains in the butt in the past, the team at Vortex answered our cry with a fantastic new option. That option is the Vortex Switchback Carbon Tripod.

The Switchback Carbon Tripod can be used with any 1/4″-20 or 3/8″-16 threaded tripod head with the use of the Switchback Carbon Tripod Head Adapter (MSRP: $39.99, MAP: $29.99), which is sold separately. If you are looking for a great “does it all” tripod that will serve you well, the Vortex Switchback Carbon Tripod is the one you want.

China Now Possesses “Neurostrike Weapons” That Have The Ability “To Directly Attack Or Control Brains”


Our adversaries have been developing extremely sophisticated weapons that the world has never seen before and that we have no way to defend against.  In this article, I want to focus on the “neurostrike weapons” that China is now able to deploy.  According to a shocking 12 page report that was just released, the Chinese now possess the ability to attack or control human brains using direct energy weapons.  According to the Washington Times, such weapons have been designed “to disrupt brain functions and influence government leaders or entire populations”…

China‘s People’s Liberation Army is developing high-technology weapons designed to disrupt brain functions and influence government leaders or entire populations, according to a report by three open-source intelligence analysts.

The weapons can be used to directly attack or control brains using microwave or other directed energy weapons in handheld guns or larger weapons firing electromagnetic beams, adding that the danger of China‘s brain warfare weapons prior to or during a conflict is no longer theoretical.

If this report is accurate, that means that the Chinese already have the ability to target specific individuals with neurostrike weapons, and they also have larger delivery systems that can affect vast numbers of people.

The report is entitled “Enumerating, Targeting and Collapsing the Chinese Communist Party’s Neurostrike Program”, and it unequivocally declares that the Chinese have “established themselves as world leaders in the development of neurostrike weapons”

“Unknown to many, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have established themselves as world leaders in the development of neurostrike weapons,” according to the 12-page report, “Enumerating, Targeting and Collapsing the Chinese Communist Party’s Neurostrike Program.” The Washington Times obtained a copy of the study.

The U.S. Commerce Department in December 2021 imposed sanctions on China‘s Academy of Military Medical Sciences and 11 related entities the department said were using “biotechnology processes to support Chinese military end-uses and end-users, to include purported brain-control weaponry.”

The realization that China has such weapons should deeply alarm all of us.

But could it also be possible that the Chinese or someone else may already be using such weapons?

In recent years, U.S. diplomatic personnel have experienced severe “neurological issues” again and again, and right now the leading theory is that they are being attacked by electromagnetic weapons

In late 2016, a year after the United States government re-established diplomatic ties with Cuba, staff at the U.S. embassy in Havana started reporting unusual illnesses. The symptoms included “head pressure or vibration, dizziness, followed in some cases by tinnitus, visual problems, vertigo, and cognitive difficulties.” The symptoms were sometimes preceded by a loud noise and pain.

Since then, U.S. diplomatic personnel and their families have reported at least two hundred cases of what came to be known as “Havana syndrome,” with “attacks” reported in Austria, Australia, Colombia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Taiwan, and Uzbekistan.

Some of those affected have had only brief symptoms, while others reported serious neurological issues that impacted work, sleep, and daily living. The syndrome has variously been attributed to tropical crickets, the Zika virus, and even “mass hysteria,” but because employees of the U.S. government have been the majority of those reporting symptoms, the leading theory is that it is caused by a clandestine attack with an electromagnetic weapon.

If the Chinese are not the ones attacking U.S. personnel, could it be the Russians?

Have they also developed neurostrike weapons?

Or could it potentially be someone else?

I don’t know.

But what we do know is that neurostrike weapons have become very important to the Chinese.  In fact, this new 12 page report that was just released says that China considers such weapons to be “a core component of its asymmetric warfare strategy against the United States”

The study was written by Ryan Clarke, a senior fellow at the East Asian Institute of the National University of Singapore; Xiaoxu Sean Lin, a former Army microbiologist now with Feitan College; and L.J. Eads, a former Air Force intelligence officer and current specialist in artificial intelligence for the U.S. intelligence community. The three authors write that China‘s leadership “views neurostrike and psychological warfare as a core component of its asymmetric warfare strategy against the United States and its allies in the Indo-Pacific.”

In recent months, there has been a lot of talk about a potential war between the United States and China.

But before we jump into such a war, we should evaluate whether we are capable of fighting it.

As a result of shipping so much ammunition to Ukraine, our stockpiles are extremely low right now.  This is something that retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer discussed with Jack Posobiec during a recent interview

“Jack, those are both supposed to be there for the purposes of our military forces showing up at a location, being able to draw rapidly and have at least 30 days of weapons available to go fully into combat. Forty-one draws is not a good thing, because when, in fact, I think it’s closer to 50. They’ve only acknowledged 31. I think they’ve drawn to the point where we basically have no war time stock left, and that’s a dangerous position for us to be in when we, if we’re actually thinking about trying to challenge the Chinese if something happens in Taiwan, there’s other things that could happen in the Middle East.”

“I think we’re at a very dangerous time, and my concern, our concern, should be always can we provide the men and women of the American military sufficient military force and ammunition to prevail. And I’m skeptical at this point.”

Our leaders never should have allowed this to happen.

We now find ourselves at a strategic disadvantage, and if the Chinese suddenly invade Taiwan we will be totally unprepared.

The good news is that I don’t think China will invade Taiwan before the Taiwanese presidential election in January.

But if that election does not go the way that China wants, I think that an invasion will be very much on the table in 2024.

We live in a time of wars and rumors of wars, and if our leaders aren’t extremely careful we could find ourselves fighting multiple major conflicts simultaneously.

China, Russia, North Korea and our other adversaries have been preparing to tangle with us for a very long time.

Meanwhile, our military has become extremely good at holding diversity seminars and organizing pride marches.

So let us hope for peace, because the U.S. military is definitely not ready for war.

Allowing The Criminals To Run Wild In The Streets Of Our Major Cities Is Only Going To Make Things Worse…


The chaos that we are witnessing in our streets is the direct consequence of the incredibly bad decisions that our leaders have been making for decades.  Traditional morality has been banished from our public schools, gang members and drug dealers are constantly pouring across our wide open borders, and in many of our largest cities hardened criminals are let back out into the streets time and time again.  As a result, property crime is out of control, violent crime has risen to very frightening levels, we are in the midst of the worst drug crisis in the history of our country, and sexual predators are seemingly everywhere.  I wish that I could call what we are experiencing a “crime wave”, but I can’t because a “crime wave” is just temporary.  Sadly, what we are enduring appears to be due to a permanent shift in our culture, and I believe that conditions are only going to get worse during the years ahead.

Los Angeles County recently reinstated their zero bail policy, and local residents are fearing the worst.

If you can believe it, even rapper 50 Cent is horrified.  In an ominous Instagram post, he boldly declared that Los Angeles “is finished”

Rapper Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent, addressed Los Angeles’ crime crisis last week in response to the recent reinstatement of the zero bail policy.

Jackson shared a FOX 11 Los Angeles segment about the zero bail policy on Instagram Reels Thursday. The policy, which was adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic in an attempt to reduce crowding in prisons, drops bail to as low as $0 for suspects accused of misdemeanors and non-violent felonies.

“LA is finished watch how bad it gets out there.SMH [shaking my head]” the “Candy Shop” rapper wrote on Instagram.

Sadly, 50 Cent is right on target.

Crime in the L.A. area is already wildly out of control, and now this zero bail policy is going to make it even worse.

In addition, we are being told that police in Los Angeles County will no longer “detain people for crimes such as theft, shoplifting, drug use, vandalism, battery, and a whole host of other non-serious, nonviolent crimes”…

Los Angeles County Deputy DA John McKinney can be heard in the shared report noting that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will no longer “detain people for crimes such as theft, shoplifting, drug use, vandalism, battery, and a whole host of other non-serious, nonviolent crimes that affect the quality of life for people here in Los Angeles.”

Seriously?

So let me get this straight.

They are no longer going to detain criminals if they steal things, use illegal drugs, smash windows or beat people up?

I suppose that is one way to get the crime rate to go down.

But will letting criminals run wild in the streets really improve things?

Of course not.

Just ask the citizens of Chicago.

Years of “soft on crime” policies have only empowered the criminals.

At this point, things are so bad that gangs of thieves drive around the city in broad daylight looking for potential targets to rob.  When they find a promising target, they jump out of their vehicles with their guns drawn

Democrat run Chicago had another weekend of rampant crime. This weekend, armed crews terrorized the city perpetrating dozens of robberies.

A report from the City Police Department shows that robbery at a five-year high in the city, up 14%.

Police believe at least three different crews are involved in this weekend’s rampage, but no arrests have been made.

Similar to prior sprees, these robberies involved three to five armed and masked men who jumped out of vehicles to rob victims on the streets.

Putting violent criminals back into the streets again and again simply does not work.

When will the politicians that are running our major cities finally understand this?

One recent study found that zero bail policies cause crime rates to go up dramatically

A recent study published by the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office found that zero bail policies have “horrific” effects on public safety.

“I mean, we have more people being shot at, stabbed, assaulted, robbed, beaten. These are real victims – and the numbers are staggering under zero bail,” Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig told Fox News Digital.

The study found that suspects released without bail reoffended 70% more often than those who posted bail, and were rearrested on 163% more charges. Suspects released without bail were also accused of three times as many violent crimes.

If you live in Los Angeles or in another major city that has a zero bail policy, I would recommend getting out of there while you still can.

Of course most of our biggest cities are unsafe at this point.  According to one recent survey, a whopping 33 percent of all Seattle residents are considering moving out of the city, and “public safety” is one of the primary reasons…

About 33% of Seattle residents surveyed said they were seriously considering moving out of the city. Sixty-seven percent said they were not. The poll of 500 residents was conducted by phone from June 12-16, with a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points.

Among the residents who say they are considering leaving, 37% blamed rising housing costs, and 34% cited public safety as their primary reason for moving.

A lot of people think that all of this violence is just temporary and that conditions will “return to normal” eventually.

But that just isn’t going to happen.

The number of mass shootings just keeps going up every year, and during the first half of this year we were already on pace for another brand new record

As the July 4th weekend approaches mass shootings in the U.S. have reached a record high for the mid-year point—there have been more than 330 mass shootings so far this year, according to data collected by the Gun Violence Archive.

Unfortunately, the second half of 2023 is off to a really bad start, because we had 16 more mass shootings during the Fourth of July weekend…

From the nation’s capital to Fort Worth, Texas, from Florin, California, in the west to the Bronx, New York, in the east, the Fourth of July long weekend in the US was overshadowed by 16 mass shootings in which 15 people were killed and nearly 100 injured.

This is our country now.

The fabric of our society really is unraveling all around us, and we are moving into times when there will be great civil unrest from coast to coast.

I know that this article has been quite heavy, and so let me try to leave you with something to smile about.

In Atlanta, a man recently tried to rob a nail salon, but everybody ignored him

I have to admit, I found that footage to be quite funny.

But there is nothing funny about the violence that is happening in our streets day after day.

Decades of incredibly foolish decisions have brought us to where we are today, and our cities are only going to get even more violent from this point forward.

Best Solar Ovens For Savings & Emergency Off Grid Cooking

Interested In Solar Ovens? You’re In The Right Place!

Best Solar Ovens

First off, I LOVE Solar Ovens!

There’s something incredibly satisfying about cooking a meal with the power of the sun.

Harnessing the power of the sun’s rays to slow cook or grill a meal gives me a welling sense of pride.

I enjoy using human ingenuity to capture a little bit of the sun to put warm food in my belly.

And I like knowing that if the power grid were to go down for a long time, I’d still have a way to cook a meal.

Sure, you could cook a meal using fire, but solar ovens don’t require any “extra” resources.

It’s using the “free,” virtually unlimited, readily available fuel and putting it to good use.

It also makes me feel good to lower my carbon footprint.

That’s why I like to cook some of my meals with the sun, and I bet some of those reasons are why you’re here reading this now.

So today, I’m going to use my Engineering, Design, Gear Testing, Backpacking, and Camping background to share everything I know about solar cooking, specifically:

Best Solar Ovens On The Market Today

Solar ovens are all the rage in both the “environmental sustainability” crowd and the “self-reliance” crowd.

So as you would expect, solar ovens have ballooned in popularity. And while that tends to be a good thing.

There’s a lot of “marketing” out there to wade through to find the best solar oven for you.

So after much research, here are the following solar ovens you should consider buying:

1. Top Recommendation


The All-American Sun Oven

The All-American Sun Oven is the original and has been around for a long time.

They make one of the best solid-frame boxed solar ovens on the market. If you buy one, you won’t be disappointed.

I have a neighbor who owns one, and he absolutely LOVES IT.

He uses it all the time and makes some amazing slow-cooked meals.

I’ve been putting off this purchase for years due to the upfront costs, but it’s still on my wish list, and one day I’ll be a proud owner of one of these devices.

User Review 1:

I preheated the oven in the sun for 45 minutes then baked two delicious loaves of bread. The temperature got up past 350 and the bread cooked in 35 minutes. I misted the top of the loaves with water before putting them in the oven which helped them brown. We are so excited to have the SunOven and look forward to using it often.

User Review 2:

Update: OK, I jumped too fast. I spent time going back over all the information this morning trying to figure out why this solar oven isn’t heating as it should. I didn’t realize that BOTH sun sights must be correctly adjusted, not just one. The manual didn’t make that point very clear, and I read over it multiple times. BOTH sights must be sighted in. I had to raise the oven to the max using the rear adjustable leg to get both sights adjusted correctly. It was in the low 60s late this morning but with full sun. With the sights adjusted correctly the oven reached 350 degrees in a short time. I can live with that.

Pros

  • Solid construction quality
  • Can attain high heats
  • Multi-adjustment options to dial in
  • Made in the USA

Cons

  • Cost vs. other options
  • The main box doesn’t fold down, so it takes up a fair amount of space

SOL COOK All Season Solar Cooker

The SOL Solar Cooker is a newer option to recently hit the market.

It’s both highly portable and can also generate some serious heat. My only concern with this unit is its long-term durability.

I can picture how crushed this thing would get crammed into an overstuffed car trunk.

Other than that, it’s lightweight, gets hot fast, and sells at a fair price.

User Review 1:

Like many, I was astonished at how well this lightweight contraption cooks food. (in February, no less!) It cooks food in the morning, in the evening, in the winter, and at more reasonable times of sunlight too.

User Review 2:

After playing the puzzle game to get it assembled which I understand the complaints about. It was not that easy at all. But once it was together and all the proper places were bent appropriately, which is very important!!!! This thing is amazing actually. It took 1 and 1/2 hours to cook a pork tenderloin.

Pros

  • Can reach optimal max oven temps
  • Surprisingly lightweight and portable
  • A more attractive price vs. other options

Cons

  • Long-term durability concerns
  • Confusing Assembly
  • The bright yellow color may not be to everyone’s liking

SunFocus Hybrid Solar Electric Oven

Want a portable electric oven that’s solar-ready as well?

If so, then this SunFocus might be the solar oven you’ve been dreaming about.

I mean, cooking with solar rays is nice and all on sunny days, but what about rainy days?

Well, with a traditional solar-only oven, your SOL. But not with this hybrid.

Use electricity when it’s available, but use it with the sun when it’s not.

User Review:

I have had 2 solar ovens both with back up electric heat if you lose sun power. This one is the BEST YOU CAN BUY…I give this oven 5 stars. It is worth every dollar.

Pros

  • Only hybrid option (both electric and solar)
  • Very few reviews, so I have less confidence overall
  • It doesn’t break down much, so less portable

Cons

  • Heavy (30 lbs.) compared to other options
  • Most expensive option on this list

MrMapMax Portable Oven Solar

The MrMaxMap Solar Oven has a unique shape to help it cook foods FAST.

For example, it claims it only takes 30 minutes to cook a meal in full sun at a max temperature of 550 Degrees F.

That’s impressive for a unit as portable and compact as this.

It comes in just a little over 11 lbs in total. So it’s not too cumbersome to haul around.

User Review:

…it’s a pretty good unit for a solar cooker that uses zero electricity or fuel of any kind. We keep solar cookers on hand for the aftermath of hurricanes, which can leave one without power for extended periods of time, and we use the solar cookers periodically to keep our solar cooking skills fresh. Besides, it’s kinda fun to serve the family a meal cooked by nothing but sunshine while you went about your business doing other things.

Pros

  • Can reach super high oven temps (550 Degrees F)
  • Acceptable price point vs. other options

Cons

  • The size of meals you can make is limited
  • Harder to clean than other options

Sunflair Mini Portable Solar Oven

If portability and minimalistic are your top priorities, then this Mini SunFlair Solar Oven is your best bet.

I mean, then the entire oven weighs just over 1 lb!

This kit includes:

  • 1 solar oven thermometer
  • 1 trivet
  • One collapsible silicone pot
  • and a handy stuff bag

Just note, this is one of the lower temperatures solar ovens, as it can only reach temperatures of up to 285 F. Of course, temperature varies depending on season and location.

So I think this little Mini Oven is IDEAL for backpacking.

But for car camping or at-home cooking, I’d much prefer the other options.

User Review:

Today at 1:55 pm I threw two eggs (in the shell, no water) in the silicone pot good sun. and set it in the driveway facing the sun. Ambient temperature about 32 degrees, no wind. A little less than 2 hours later, after 2 minor adjustments to face the sun and tilt it forward for the low sun, I decided to check the eggs, with little hope that they were cooked. To my surprise, they were perfectly hard boiled. Not bad for late afternoon in mid-winter. Happy with my purchase, and looking forward to more fun. I’ll probably buy the full sized version soon.

Pros

  • Most portable and lightweight option (by far)
  • Very reasonably priced vs. other options
  • Comes with extras (thermometer, trivet, pot, and bag)

Cons

  • A max temperature lower than other options (~285 F)
  • Slower cook times (due to lower temps)
  • It seems pricy for how tiny it is
  • Meal sizes are limited due to the size of the solar oven

Haines 2.0 SunUp Solar Cooker and Dutch Oven

The Hains 2.2 is a simple but effective solar oven with high user ratings.

It’s quite impressive how minimalistic this design is, yet it produces some serious heat.

And here’s the best part, the small Dutch oven is a part of the kit!

Regarding portability, we’re talking 7 lbs total (including a small Dutch oven).

My only gripe is that you are limited in the size of meals you can make in the small Dutch oven provided.

And swapping a larger Dutch oven could result in drastically different cook times.

User Review 1:

 I’m super happy. This oven works exactly as advertised. I bought it for emergency preparedness and to be able to cook in summer without adding heat to our non-conditioned house.

User Review 2:

 I’ve also cooked spaghetti using dry spaghetti – again a hot, sunny day with a two hour cook time (spaghetti was perfectly al dente). My third dish was a Cantonese dinner with strips of pork that I did not even brown. I threw it all together (except for the rice) and set it out. This one I started around noon, and had some clouds, so I just left it out until I could see and smell that it was finished. I have no qualms about recommending this solar cooker. It works, it’s fun, and the food is delicious.

Pros

  • It comes with a Dutch oven with an ideal size for setup
  • Reasonable price compared to more expensive options
  • No manufacturer stated max temp

Cons

  • Meal sizes are limited due to the size of small Dutch oven

Solar Ovens Utilize The Power Of The Sun

It seems like every day; we’re reminded of the benefits of solar power.

The news is full of stories about solar panels and how they make self-sufficiency a reality for many homeowners.

  • For some, it’s possible to pair panels with batteries to get off the grid entirely.
  • For others, the panels are tapped into the electrical grid to help offset electrical use.

Either way, these large solar systems are expensive and often require a professional installer.

Because you’re dealing with high-voltage electricity – which means DIY is recommended.

But while solar electricity gets the most attention, there are many more ways to harvest the sun.

Example Of A Solar Water Heater

For example, my neighbors in college had a solar hot water heater on the south side of the house.

A series of vacuum tube pipes allowed them to pre-heat the water going into their hot water heater.

This setup cut down how much they spent on their steaming hot showers.

It was a passive solar-heated system with no moving parts or electrical connections.

That simplicity was what I thought of when I started looking into solar ovens and solar cookers.

And even if you have solar panels, you should still look into solar ovens and cookers.

Why? Because converting the sun’s rays into electricity to run an oven is inefficient.

It takes vast sums of the sun’s power to power it long enough to cook a meal.

And while gas and wood stoves are reliable, they require nonrenewal (costly) fuels such as fossil fuels or wood.

A solar oven allows you to cut the cord, pass on fossil fuels AND leave the woodpile behind!

The bottom line is:

Solar ovens make you more self-reliant.

And if you’ve read some of our other articles (such as solar generators, solar phone chargers, and portable solar chargers), you know we love solar for survival, preparedness, and self-reliance!

What Exactly Is A Solar Oven Anyway?

We all eventually get uncomfortable lounging in direct sunlight. In the blazing summer, you can literally “cook” your skin – it’s called a sunburn!

The sun releases vast amounts of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

This radiation includes visible light as well as both infrared and ultraviolet radiation.

In fact, more than half of the solar energy that reaches the Earth comes from infrared radiation.

We feel the infrared waves on our skin as heat – a great example of radiant heat transfer.

What if you could concentrate that hot sun into a smaller space?

If you’re picturing a big magnifying glass, that’s a great example of a simple solar cooker.

From this basic design, solar ovens and cookers branch out into all sorts of unique designs.

But they all have the same purpose:

To concentrate as much infrared radiation as possible into an enclosed, insulated space. Then to trap this building heat to allow for cooking.

Why are we more concerned with infrared waves than visible light?

Well…because of physics.

Infrared waves are FAR more efficient at heating things up.

Clear materials (like glass) allow radiation to pass through but not reflective ones.

Opaque ones absorb infrared light and convert it to thermal energy.

The darker the surface, the more pronounced the effect. So flat black painted cookware can really help with efficiency.

So focusing more infrared radiation on solid foods (or a cooking container) will heat them up faster.

Best Solar Oven Features To Look For

With any gear, there are quality options and cheap options.

So let’s go over some of the best solar oven features you’ll want to look for in your next purchase.

Portability | Weight

Unlike the traditional oven in your kitchen, a solar oven is not a device that sits in one place.

You take it outside on sunny days and bring it back inside when done.

So even if you never intend to take it camping, you’ll still need to haul it around to use it.

So, of course, the lighter, the better, all other things being equal…

But that’s the rub; not all “other things” are equal with different solar ovens.

So you must take all solar oven features into consideration before making a final decision.

Size | Dimensions

You’ll want to know the size of the meals you plan to cook.

For example, you may want to double-check the size of your “slow cooker” cookware.

You’ll definitely want it to fit with ease.

But if you intend to cook with a solar oven on the go, you’ll want something more portable or at least breaks down easily.

Power | Efficiency

With solar ovens, this is where quality differences are most profound.

For solar ovens to work as intended, the devices must do an excellent job of capturing and focusing the solar rays.

Because there’s a large difference between a sloppy DIY solar oven and a quality constructed one, and that difference comes in how much heat the device can generate.

And how much heat it can hold and the temperatures it can maintain over extended periods.

Make sure to read over many user reviews to ensure your new solar oven performance can match your expectations.

Durability

This feature is a bit tricky.

Why? Because some solar ovens are constructed out of wood frames.

While others are made from reflective lined cloth.

With wood, you want your solar oven to be solid and rigid.

With cloth, flexibility is fine as long as it doesn’t rip or tear with use.

So it isn’t easy to compare such two drastically different builds apples to apples.

So I advise you to choose the “type” of solar oven you want and THEN compare the construction specs.

Price

The first time I saw the price of a solar oven, I was floored.

I couldn’t believe such a simple “box” cost several hundred dollars. And while the price seemed “too high,” the reviews for this device were fantastic.

While on the other hand, I found some cheap alternatives, but the reviews were very mixed.

So like most things in the gear space, you tend to get what you pay for; if you go cheap, you may waste your money.

Types Of DIY Solar Ovens (& How To Build Them)

Magnifying Glass

As I said earlier, a magnifying glass can work as a solar cooker.

However, it’s generally pretty small, and it takes a lot of work to focus the light on an object.

I wouldn’t count on heating up much more than a few grains of rice at a time with a handheld magnifying glass.

And by the time you scaled it up large enough to be useful, the lens would be so heavy and bulky it wouldn’t be worth carrying.

Stick to using a magnifying glass instead of a solar cooker as a fire starter.

So pass on this type of solar cooker.

Fresnel Lens

Stepping up from a magnifying glass is a Fresnel lens.

Fresnel lenses are good at directing light.

In fact, they were used for hundreds of years in lighthouses to focus light on ships at sea.

Example Of A Fresnel Lens

Example Of A Fresnel Lens

You can find plenty of Fresnel lenses for sale on Amazon, both in glass and plastic.

While a large Fresnel lens is excellent at focusing solar energy, it does so at a relatively small point. And they are highly sensitive to the angle of sunlight.

This means that a Fresnel lens solar cooker will be efficient, but they need a lot of tending.

I built one with a 24” lens, and it’s compact, lightweight, and durable.

It’s powerful enough to boil a pot of water quickly. But due to the small focus point, it isn’t easy to use in cooking larger items.

However, it can be done with some ingenuity (watch the video below).

↓ DIY Fresnel Lens Solar Cooker ↓

Outside of cooking, it’s also a very capable firestarterand I’ve even used it to melt scrap lead!

Reflector Cooker

Leaving behind lens designs, many people interested in solar cookers turn to reflectors.

Simple reflector solar cookers can be built with flexible solar shields.

Like the reflectors, you see inside the windshield of many cars.

For under $20, you can pick up all the materials necessary to build your own.

These designs can be incredibly lightweight and compact in a pack.

Plus, they’re among the only solar cookers that would travel well on foot.

Commercial models that use much more durable materials and improved cooking surfaces are available.

Paired with heat-resistant cookware, these make an excellent solution for solar cooking!

↓ Sunflair Solar Oven Review ↓

Box Cooker

A box cooker can be as simple as a cardboard box lined with aluminum foil.

I’ve seen pizza boxes converted to solar cookers that were effective and super cheap.

It won’t fry an egg but can hit slow cooker temperatures.

If you want something more efficient, check out the Sun Oven.

The solid wood box is well insulated, with a dark-painted interior to absorb heat and a clear top to trap it inside.

The side panel mirrors focus more energy into the box, allowing it to hit 200-300deg easily.

I haven’t had a chance to use one of these, but I think I might build one this winter for use on camping trips next summer.

The plans look straightforward and easy to follow.

↓ DIY Homemade Solar Oven – Super Hot ↓

If you’re not into DIY, go with a Sun Oven.

It features an efficient reflector and aiming system.

This helps to concentrate all available solar energy into the solar cooker.

They can reach temperatures that rival your standard in-home oven.

So they’re capable of baking loaves of bread and cooking meats.

Parabolic Mirror

A parabolic mirror reflects light off a curved surface and back to a focus point in the middle.

Their shape is like a satellite dish or an umbrella.

Both of those items can serve as the base to build a parabolic mirror cooker.

Like a Fresnel lens, a parabolic mirror focuses its energy on a tiny spot.

This can make cooking larger items difficult.

However, it’s much less sensitive to sun angle, making it a more hands-off design than the other lenses.

Parabolic mirrors come in all kinds of materials and sizes.

You can even build your own with a few things out of your survival cache now!

As with all solar cookers, size matters, and a larger mirror will collect more energy and cook faster.

Some segmented parabolic mirrors provide a reflective surface several feet in diameter.

These mirrors are hard to DIY since the shape is crucial to focusing energy on the cooking pot.

Unless, of course, your neighbor tosses out their old 5-foot-wide satellite dish!

If so, snag it and get to work.

↓ DIY Parabolic Solar Cooker ↓

Parabolic Trough Cooker

A parabolic trough uses the same curved reflective surface as a circular parabolic mirror.

But, it stretches that surface out along one axis into a long channel.

Instead of a single focal point, this creates a long line of focused energy.

If you align the trough with the sun’s path, the light can be focused for hours without maintenance.

This hands-off time can free up resources and make dinner prep much easier.

Like other parabolic mirrors, these are a much more challenging DIY build.

Instead, look at purchasing something like the GoSun Portable Solar Cooker.

This stove has a vacuum tube cooking chamber providing a near-perfect layer of insulation, keeping the heat in and cold out.

Perfect for cooking with small children while keeping the kitchen cool during the summer.

↓ Insane Solar Cooking With The GoSun Stove ↓

So Which Solar Oven Is The Best?

“Best” is a very subjective word since each type has its own pros and cons.

It also depends on what you’re looking for.

Some solar ovens are easier to build (like the reflective oven or box oven) – while the parabolic trough cooker is not very DIY-friendly.

Also, are you planning to travel with it? If so, the solar dish parabolic cooker is not a good option…

Here’s a good comparison video to watch from Tiny House Giant Journey that may help you decide:

Are Solar Ovens Worth The Investment?

Clearly, solar cookers and ovens have some limitations.

As with any solar system, they depend on bright, direct sunlight to be effective.

This limits your cooking to daylight hours and decent weather.

Solar cooking is often slower than other cooking methods.

This means you may have to be in camp for longer and plan your day around the timing of cooking tasks.

Due to the size of the cooking vessel, it may also be challenging to cook for a large group.

A clean, fuel-less cooking system has many benefits if you can work with these limitations.

It’s silent, generates no smoke or soot, and can run as long as you have sunlight.

A lightweight solar cooker can often weigh less than a comparable traditional stove.

Plus, it doesn’t need heavy, costly fuel.

While I wouldn’t likely make it my primary cooking system in the cloudy Pacific Northwest.

I’ve certainly come to enjoy using my Fresnel lens solar cooker.

And I plan to build and experiment with other designs in the future.

    Do You Know About The 3 Eclipses That Will Combine To Create A Giant “Aleph” Over America?


    I am about to share something with you that is truly remarkable.  The paths of three eclipses will combine to form a giant “Aleph” over America, and hardly anyone knows about this.  Of course the Aleph is the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet.  The second letter in the Hebrew alphabet is Bet.  Most people don’t realize this, but our word “alphabet” originally came from a combination of Aleph and Bet.  But is the fact that a giant “Aleph” will soon be completed over the United States significant?  I believe that it is, and I will explain why in this article.

    In the 21st chapter of Luke, Jesus warned us that “there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” in the last days.

    So we should be watching for such things.

    In order for an eclipse to happen, both the sun and the moon must be involved.  Previously, I have explained how the “Great American Eclipse” of 2017 would later combine with the “Great American Eclipse” of 2024 to create a giant “X” across America.  The following is an excerpt from my book entitled “7 Year Apocalypse”

    Well, what would you say if I told you that an enormous “X” that is in the process of being marked across the United States will be completed in the year 2024?

    I know that may sound very strange, but stick with me and you will soon understand what I am talking about.

    On August 21st, 2017 the “Great American Eclipse” made headlines all over the world. It was the very first solar eclipse since 1918 that was able to be seen all the way from the west coast to the east coast. In the U.S., the path of the eclipse started in Oregon, it continued all the way across the continental United States, and it exited the country in South Carolina.

    But what makes that eclipse unlike any other is the fact that it will combine with another historic eclipse in 2024 to form a giant “X” across America.

    On April 8th, 2024 another “Great American Eclipse” will make headlines all over the planet. The path of that eclipse will cross over the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. If you plot the paths of the 2017 eclipse and the 2024 eclipse on the same map, you will clearly see that they combine to form a massive “X” right over the heartland of the continental United States.

    The map below shows roughly what that giant “X” will look like…

    The precise intersection formed by the Great American Eclipse of 2017 and the Great American Eclipse of 2024 covers portions of the states of Kentucky, Illinois and Missouri.

    If you closely examine this area on a map, you will see that it falls right in the middle of the New Madrid Fault Zone.

    In several of my books I have discussed the fact that someday there will be an absolutely catastrophic earthquake along the New Madrid Fault Zone.  It will be so massive that it will permanently alter the geography of the United States, and you won’t want to be anywhere around when that quake finally arrives.

    But now we are discovering that there is even more to the story.

    On October 14th, 2023 an annular solar eclipse will cross the United States from Oregon to Texas.

    If you overlay the path of that annular solar eclipse on top of the paths of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 and the Great American Eclipse of 2024, you will see that those three eclipses actually combine to create a giant “Aleph” across America.

    A tweet that was posted by Randy Sevy about this phenomenon has created quite a stir

    I just saw this and got the shivers. Look at that. Those are the 2017, 2023 and 2024 solar eclipses on the United States. That’s God’s signature. That’s an Aleph. ?

    The Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The Aleph in Hebrew has a numerical value of one. The Aleph is also representative of God and the oneness of God. The One true God.

    The Aleph is also made of three lines. Also the number of God; The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The number three biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness and perfection.

    This Aleph ? is from the Paleo-Hebrew script, also Palaeo-Hebrew, Proto-Hebrew or Old Hebrew. The writing system found in ancient inscriptions of biblical Israel and Judah.

    When you look at the map that Randy Sevy shared on Twitter, there is no doubt that it looks like an Aleph…

    So what does all of this mean?

    I am not entirely sure.

    But let me share something else with you.

    If you do a Google search for when the new moon in Jerusalem will be in October 2023, you will discover that it will be on October 14th.

    And that is the day when the annular solar eclipse will cross our country from Oregon to Texas.

    If you do a Google search for when the new moon in Jerusalem will be in April 2024, you will discover that it will be on April 8th.

    And that is the day when the “Great American Eclipse” crosses America and completes the Aleph.

    By the way, April 8th also happens to be the first day of the first month on the Hebrew calendar.

    In other words, a brand new Biblical year begins on that date.

    I find it hard to believe that this is just a coincidence.

    I think that God is trying to tell us something.

    Of course He has been trying to warn us in hundreds of different ways, but most people don’t want to listen.

    The signs of the end times are literally being fulfilled all around us, but most of us refuse to see the truth.

    I will continue to do my best to sound the alarm, and I want to thank you for helping me to do that.

    The UN Has Come Up With A Shockingly Insidious Plan For Global Domination


    Under a shocking new plan that is scheduled to be adopted two months before the U.S. presidential election in 2024, all it would take is some sort of a major “global shock” for the United Nations to literally take authority over the entire planet.  I realize that this may sound like the plot to a really bad science fiction movie, but this is actually what is being proposed, and the Biden administration is fully behind this insidious plan.  Unfortunately, the mainstream media in the United States is not covering this at all, and so most people have absolutely no idea that this is going on.

    An article that was posted by The Federalist first broke this story, and it should be making headline news all over the nation.

    But it isn’t.

    Next September, global leaders will gather for “the Summit of the Future”, and during that conference UN member states are scheduled to “adopt a Pact for the Future”

    In September 2024, less than two months before the next U.S. presidential election, the United Nations will host a landmark “Summit of the Future,” where member nations will adopt a Pact for the Future. The agreement will solidify numerous policy reforms offered by the U.N. over the past two years as part of its sweeping Our Common Agenda platform.

    Although there are numerous radical proposals included in the agenda, perhaps none are more important than the U.N. plan for a new “emergency platform,” a stunning proposal to give the U.N. significant powers in the event of future “global shocks,” such as another worldwide pandemic.

    You can read all about “the Summit of the Future” and the “Pact for the Future” on the official UN website right here.

    As usual, the UN disguises the most alarming portions of their agenda by surrounding it with language that speaks of the need for “peace”, “education” and economic growth.

    But right there on the official UN website they admit that one of the purposes of “the Summit of the Future” is to “put in place a stronger international response playbook for complex global shocks, maximizing the use of the Secretary-General’s convening power in the form of an Emergency Platform”.

    So what in the world is this “Emergency Platform” that they are talking about?

    Well, a UN policy paper that was published a few months ago contains some very disturbing details

    Many of the details of the U.N. emergency platform were laid out in a March 2023 policy paper titled “Strengthening the International Response to Complex Global Shocks — An Emergency Platform.” In the paper, the U.N. secretary-general writes, “I propose that the General Assembly provide the Secretary-General and the United Nations system with a standing authority to convene and operationalize automatically an Emergency Platform in the event of a future complex global shock of sufficient scale, severity and reach.”

    Once triggered, the emergency platform would give the U.N. the ability to “actively promote and drive an international response that places the principles of equity and solidarity at the centre of its work.” The U.N. would bring together the “stakeholders” of the world, including academics, governments, private sector actors, and “international financial institutions” to ensure there is a unified, global response to the crisis.

    Umm, no thank you.

    If there is some sort of a major “global shock”, the last thing that we should want is for the UN to have the authority “to ensure there is a unified, global response to the crisis”.

    So what sort of a “global shock” would activate these emergency powers?

    Well, the policy paper tells us that a future pandemic, a “major event in outer space” or even “unforeseen risks” would all qualify…

    The paper gives several examples of what could trigger the emergency authority, including “major climatic event,” “future pandemic risks,” a “global digital connectivity disruption,” “major event in outer space,” and generic “unforeseen risks, (‘black swan’ events).”

    In other words, whether or not these emergency powers could be used would be open to interpretation.

    And it turns out that once these emergency powers have been activated, the UN would have authority to keep extending them indefinitely

    The UN would also reserve the right to extend the emergency as they see fit: Although the duration of the emergency platform would initially be set for a “finite period,” at “the end of that period, the Secretary-General could extend the work of an Emergency Platform if required,” according to the United Nations’ own policy proposal.

    So, once enacted, the U.N. could continue to seize control as long as they want, i.e. indefinitely.

    This is precisely how Emperor Palpatine took power in the Star Wars movies.

    He was granted “emergency powers” by the Senate, and then he never gave them up.

    Of course the Biden administration thinks that all of this is just great.

    In fact, the administration has already publicly backed this new proposal “on multiple occasions”

    The Federalist report notes that the Biden Administration has backed the proposal on multiple occasions, prompting reporter Justin Haskins to warn that “If the emergency platform is approved, the United States as we know it could cease to exist.”

    Please share this information far and wide, because the American people need to understand that this is really happening.

    Thankfully, “the Summit of the Future” is not until September 2024, but in September 2023 the “2023 SDG Summit” will be held in New York City.

    The following comes from the official UN webpage about this summit

    The 2023 SDG Summit will take place on 18-19 September 2023 in New York. It will mark the beginning of a new phase of accelerated progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals with high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions leading up to 2030.

    Convened by the President of the General Assembly, the Summit will mark the half-way point to the deadline set for achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. It will be the centerpiece of the High-level Week of the General Assembly. It will respond to the impact of multiple and interlocking crises facing the world and is expected to reignite a sense of hope, optimism, and enthusiasm for the 2030 Agenda.

    We are less than 7 years from 2030, and the UN wants to remind global leaders to keep implementing the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.

    On the surface, the goals that the UN wants to achieve sound rather harmless, but if you dig into the details you will find that the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals are a blueprint for creating a far-left globalist utopia.

    And the centerpiece of that blueprint is a draconian global effort to fight climate change.

    As I discussed the other day, thousands of farms in Europe are being purchased and shut down right in the middle of a global food crisis in order to meet climate change goals.

    It is madness.

    The globalists are already doing so much damage, and now they want us to give the UN unprecedented emergency powers?

    Needless to say, giving the globalists even more power won’t lead anywhere good.

    If we plan to object to what they are doing, the time to stand up and speak out is now.

    Unfortunately, most Americans don’t even realize that any of this is happening, and that is because hardly anyone is even talking about it.

    Another Alarming Societal Trend That Was Accelerated By The Lockdowns…


    Looking back, we can see that the lockdowns did so much damage.  They greatly affected our mental health, the economy, and even the education of our children.  But one thing that is not talked about a lot is the impact that the lockdowns had on church attendance in America.  In 1958, a Gallup survey found that 49 percent of Americans had attended church within the past 7 days.  That number started to decline during the ensuing years, and by 1972 only 40 percent of Americans said that they had attended church within the past 7 days.  From 1972 all the way until 2012, church attendance within the past 7 days hovered right around that 40 percent figure.  Unfortunately, over the past decade it has started to fall once again.  Just prior to the pandemic, a Gallup survey found that 34 percent of Americans had been to church within the past 7 days, and now a new survey has discovered that it is down to just 31 percent

    In the four years before the pandemic, 2016 through 2019, an average of 34% of U.S. adults said they had attended church, synagogue, mosque or temple in the past seven days. From 2020 to the present, the average has been 30%, including a 31% reading in a May 1-24 survey.

    The recent church attendance levels are about 10 percentage points lower than what Gallup measured in 2012 and most prior years.

    When the lockdowns began, most Americans were forced to attend church services virtually.

    Today, most Americans that attend church do so in person, but overall attendance is still significantly lower than it was before the pandemic…

    The pandemic had a profound effect on U.S. society, and it continues to have an impact in some ways. Americans have been less likely to attend religious services over the past three years, and at this point, it does not appear that church attendance will revert to pre-pandemic levels. These recent trends have added to the longer-term decline in religious participation that Gallup has documented over the past two decades.

    Over the past few years, we have also seen a lot more violence directed at churches.

    In fact, the Family Research Council just released a report that found “a nearly 300% increase in acts of hostility in the first quarter of 2023”

    report from the Family Research Council (FRC), released earlier this month, is highlighting the sharp rise in acts of hostility against the church in the United States.

    The report documented a nearly 300% increase in acts of hostility in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same time frame in 2022. If the trend continues, the report underscored that “2023 will have the highest number of incidents of the six years FRC has tracked.”

    The acts of hostility contained in the report include “vandalism, arson, gun-related incidents, bomb threats, and more.”

    We have witnessed such a dramatic shift in our culture.

    Church attendance is in decline, attacks on churches are becoming increasingly common, and more churches are permanently shutting down with each passing week.

    Needless to say, this is taking a toll on the mental and emotional health of America’s pastors…

    Pastors who reported that their mental and emotional health was below average spiked from 3% in 2015 to 10% in 2022, and those who said they were in excellent mental and emotional health cratered from 39% in 2015 to 11% last year.

    Pastors also noted that recent years have taken a toll on their physical health, with 22% describing their physical well-being as poor or below average in 2022, compared to only 7% in 2015. While 24% said their physical health was excellent eight years ago, only 9% said the same last year.

    The study also revealed that more pastors are suffering from loneliness, with 7% saying last year they are poor when it comes to having true friends, compared to only 2% in 2015. In 2022, 20% of them ranked themselves as below average with regard to friendship while 10% said the same in 2015.

    Meanwhile, those on the other side of the culture war appear to be thriving.

    Millions of Americans have turned out for the pride parades that have been happening all over North America this month.

    And in some cases, those attending these events are getting more of a show than they anticipated.

    As I mentioned yesterday, fully naked men were openly riding down the street during the pride parade in Seattle…

    In Seattle, the explicit footage posted by a Post Millennial staffer showed naked men with pride flags painted on their bodies riding down the street and waving to crowds of people, including many children.

    Children and their parents can be seen on the sidelines, clapping and cheering for the naked gang.

    And in Toronto, there were fully naked men “standing around and riding bicycles in clear view of children”

    Bud Light is serving as an official sponsor of the Toronto Pride parade, where video footage shows naked men standing around and riding bicycles in clear view of children attending the event.

    The footage, captured by Beth Baisch of the Post Millennial, shows dozens of attendees riding past a large cheering crowd. The fully naked bikers, some covered in paint or tattoos, wave back at the crowd. One naked man high-fives an onlooker while another peddles a recumbent bike with a gold blow-up swan adorned around his neck.

    A second video shows a group of naked men with hats standing in a circle amidst the crowd. Several children walk past the group of men with their families.

    Since when did it become legal to expose yourself in front of children?

    Why wasn’t anyone arrested?

    I don’t expect to get an answer to either of those questions.

    At this point, we are what we are.

    And nobody can deny it.

    If we stay on this path, there is no future for the United States.

    So I hope that the country will wake up very soon.

    Making the right choices leads to positive consequences, and making the wrong choices leads to negative consequences.

    Choose wisely America.

    The post Another Alarming Societal Trend That Was Accelerated By The Lockdowns… appeared first on End Of The American Dream.

    All Of A Sudden, Outbreaks Of Malaria, H5N1, Swine Flu And Monkeypox Are All In The News…


    After a bit of a lull, it appears that pestilences are going to start making headline news once again.  Of course that is the last thing that many of us want to hear.  Many Americans are finally getting their lives back to normal after the last pandemic, and a lot of people are hoping that we won’t have to go through another for a long time to come.  Unfortunately, the truth is that we have entered a period of history when major outbreaks will be quite common.  In secret labs all over the planet, mad scientists are monkeying around with some of the deadliest bugs ever known to humanity, and as we have seen, it is way too easy for an “accident” to happen.

    One of the diseases that our scientists have been playing around with is Malaria, and now there are four confirmed cases in Florida and one in Texas

    Malaria, a potentially deadly disease caused by a mosquito-borne parasite, is making inroads into the US.

    Five new cases of malaria — one in Texas and four in Florida — are alarming officials because they were locally acquired, meaning a mosquito in the US was carrying the parasite.

    That hasn’t happened since 2003 in Palm Beach County, Florida, according to the Centers for Disease and Prevention.

    This isn’t supposed to happen.

    Malaria isn’t supposed to be spreading in the United States.

    But it is.

    And those that do not get diagnosed and treated quickly can end up dead

    Symptoms of malaria include fever, shaking, chills, headache, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and tiredness, according to the CDC.

    If it’s not treated promptly, the infection can cause jaundice, anemia, kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma and death.

    Meanwhile, we just received some very troubling news about the H5N1 strain of the bird flu.

    On Tuesday, it was being widely reported that nine cats in Poland have caught the disease…

    Nine cats have been confirmed to be infected with the H5N1 subtype of avian influenza in Poland, the country’s Chief Veterinary Officer announced on Monday, as reports of mammals being infected with the virus continue to increase.

    The infected cats were found in Poznań, the tri-city metropolitan area, and Lublin, locations separated by distances of hundreds of kilometers.

    H5N1 has started to spread among other mammals as well.

    So is it just a matter of time before it starts spreading among humans?

    We shall see.

    Alarmingly, it appears that there is more to this story in Poland than we are being told.

    According to a Polish news source, “large numbers of cats” have been dying “from an unknown illness”

    Veterinary authorities in Poland are investigating reports of large numbers of cats dying from an unknown illness, and have warned owners to keep their pets inside. Initial tests by the chief veterinary inspectorate have found that some of the deceased animals had avian flu.

    Over the past two weeks, numerous instances of otherwise healthy cats suddenly and inexplicably becoming ill – and in many cases dying – have been reported throughout Poland.

    The affected animals have reportedly suffered neurological and respiratory symptoms, including seizures and difficulty breathing. This has led to concerns that some type of contagious illness is spreading.

    That report says that “some” of the dead cats had the bird flu.

    Does that mean that some of them didn’t?

    And that same report goes on to explain that in one area alone, 25 of the 28 cats that were showing symptoms of this “unknown illness” have ended up dead…

    The chief veterinary office for Pomerania province, where Gdańsk is located, and the region’s veterinary chamber have revealed that, out of 28 cats brought to clinics in the wider Gdańsk area in last two weeks with such symptoms, 25 have since died.

    On Friday, the national chief veterinary inspectorate, GIW, announced that there had been similar reports in several cities and that it was “closely following the development of the situation”.

    So it appears that we are not just talking about a handful of dead cats.

    We should watch this story very closely in the days ahead.

    Because if H5N1 does mutate into a form that can spread easily among humans, the death toll could be catastrophic.

    If you doubt this, just consider these numbers

    Globally, since 2003, 873 human infections with A(H5N1) viruses, including 458 deaths, have been reported to the World Health Organization.

    Elsewhere, it is being reported that a woman in Brazil just died from the swine flu

    US health chiefs are investigating the death of a Brazilian woman who became a rare victim of swine flu.

    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials plan to probe samples collected from the patient, 42, who died from an H1N1 variant spreading in pigs.

    Her death earlier last month has sparked concern because she had no direct contact with pigs — which may signal onward transmission from someone else.

    Hopefully this will turn out to be an isolated case.

    Because we definitely do not need to add an H1N1 epidemic to our growing list of problems.

    On top of everything else, monkeypox cases are on the rise again.  The following story comes from a California news source

    Los Angeles County health officials Friday reported a “concerning increase” in cases of mpox, previously known as monkeypox, with six new infections confirmed in the county in the past week.

    That’s up from an average of less than one case per week over the past month, according to the Department of Public Health.

    The sudden increase prompted health officials to urge people who show any symptoms of the illness to get tested. Such symptoms include rash, fever or swollen lymph nodes.

    I know that I have covered a lot of material very rapidly in this article.

    So much is happening, but the mainstream media isn’t giving it much attention.

    But if a major pandemic does erupt in the second half of this year, it will be front page news everywhere.

    Hopefully that will not be the case.

    Hopefully we have more time.

    But without a doubt, more great pestilences are coming, and they will cause great panic all over the globe.
