Testing Women's Self Defense Weapons | Does Milk Help Against Pepper Spray? | Go Guarded Ring Review

[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

I have a few thoughts to share on this, hope you'll find it interesting: 1.) Your whole family is adorable, I especially loved your daughter slamming Seth's writing skills, your son promising you to get peppersprayed (DON'T DO IT KID!) and your wife laughing at you for tripping over that goal. 2.) Interesting tidbit related to learning any skills, your wife saying she felt less confident after trying that stuff out is in line with the four-stages-of-competence-model used in psychology. Stage one is unconscious incompetence, being incompetent but not knowing you're incompetent, stage two is conscious incompetence, being incompetent but knowing it after trying, stage three is conscious competence, being fairly competent after training for a while but still having to think about all the individual steps, and stage four is unconscious competence, when you can do something well without having to think about it. 3.) Dudes getting peppersprayed is never a good idea. When they do it on purpose, part of me also thinks it's never not funny. 4.) Hang on to your wife. Her pepperspraying you on Christmas before her folks come over is one of the most I'll-always-have-your-back-moves I've ever seen.

[@TheDanWhoSoldTheWorld]

This video is a pretty hardcore gift to your fans, we all thank you for doing it. I can understand about being hesitant to use the finger knife, it's a pretty extreme weapon to cut someone open with, regardless of their size. Mike's partner seems like a really cool and down-to-earth person, her common sense reminds me of my wife, it's always good to have a sane person to talk over ideas with when you're doing something insane. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄

[@TheElbowMerchant]

Very well said. This was a fantastic Christmas gift for all of the hard2hurt subscribers! And I agree with your points about having a sane and level-headed wife. God knows mine has kept me from doing some extremely reckless and stupid things, haha.

You have such great chemistry with your wife. She simultaneously has an acceptance of you and your antics yet retains a healthy expression of skepticism. Great balance to your tomfoolery.

[@someoneyoumightknow2805]

Bro mike I’m a jr now and my freshman year of hs I sold weed. I got the pepper spray gun from the original video you made. And dude not even a month after I got it some dudes tried to rob me and I walked off with only getting punched once before they got maced. But u stopped me from getting stomped out by like 4 guys I just want to say thanks you saved my ass man.

[@dawnkeyy]

[@zacharytheliar]

[@jofuskee3]

I like you put the “you don’t know” in that! I have that argument a lot with people who carry with zero training of “well if that was me” or “if I was there” easy argument “you don’t know that!” “You’ve never been in a situation like that”.

[@randombencounter263]

Extremely real. I used to think of myself as someone who can handle a crisis but when there's an actual emergency (accidents mostly, never had a violent encounter) I tend to freeze up and paralyze thinking about what to do rather than doing anything to help. It's gotten a little better over the years once I started training martial arts but it's still a real hurdle that takes effort.

[@RollingDutchmann]

It would fuck you up mentally but if you had to take action you will.

[@blarfroer8066]

You don't rise to the occasion, you fall back to your level of training. If that level is zero, you won't do anything.

[@ArifRWinandar]

This feels like a classic hard2hurt video if there is such a thing

[@docaff]

Lovely and supportive family. It's terrific to see them get into the action and that was a proud dad moment at the end when you're praising your boy for being open to being a pepper spray test subject when he hits 18, all while recovering from the stinging effects yourself. 😉

[@retiredpopokyle]

I've sprayed probably 1,000 cadets in the academy. With, originally, Deftec, then Saber Red. Saber Red is fucking evil. We always used name brand baby shampoo. *edit- It can go in your eyes without damage and carry out the capsicum. Works VERY well for decon. Love your content, Mike!

[@christianc.christian5025]

The funny thing about using milk is that there are some doctors who will tell you that even while dairy may make your acid reflux feel better for a while, in the long run, it can worsen it due to the fat content. My assumption about why people insist on things like milk and water helping pepper spray is just that it’s cold and for a few seconds, that feels like relief. Before making it even worse.

[@Gege547]

@@christianc.christian5025 Milk works because it contains casein. It's a type of protein that binds to the capsaicin and neutralizes it. Its safe to pour into your eyes. In this case Mike also said the milk washed it into his eyes. That's why it felt worse. Probably the cover wasn't perfect and on the non milk side its not went into his eyes fully. Washing your eyes with milk is used by protesters but they also got extra dose from pepper spray. These small ones (like this in the video) are 20-40 ml a bottle. The police uses half liter or 1 liter canisters for spraying. Milk helps but pepper sprays are over 2 million on the Scoville scale I have seen 4.5 million ones. So milk helps like bucket of water on a full blown house fire. Also your Cornea is made of proteins. So if the capsaicin already connected to you cornea you can't wash it away easily.

[@tsideas5541]

The guy from Active Self Protection said the same thing... Must be something to it then!

[@cycleboy8028]

@@christianc.christian5025 Milk (full fat) will help dissolve out/off the OC which is fat soluble. Mike's issue is he defended against the spray by scrunching closed, then washed it INTO his eye with the milk rinse. As others said (and Mike) diluted Dawn gets off the grease too. That's what detergents are for! But milk having fat to solubilize the OC works also... unless you are bad and rinse it IN!

Hey, I am an ILEA certified OC instructor through defense technologies. Running cool water and airflow is the best thing.

Step three airflow and then you are fine.

I love the authenticity of this, like all other KZbin channels cut out all of the argument and the processing, and script it all, and are overall “prepared” And a 98% of the time it just makes it feel off, and makes the viewer feel disconnected imo. Your wife arguing and asking why on Christmas, explaining how guests are coming and this isn’t a good idea. It all feels relatable, and I appreciate that.

[@fredfredburger5150]

Assuming the active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin then milk makes sense as capsaicin is fat soluble. So theoretically the fats in milk should break down the capsaicin therefore neutralizing the irritation. I could be wrong.

[@rickdg]

Only one way to find out.

[@CaptainXanax]

It should, but soap also breaks down fats, and if I had to guess, probably better than milk. Maybe try some brake cleaner or industrial strength degreaser. Lol

[@jckingsley]

The knuckle ring is dorky for punching for sure. I AM kinda wondering why punching would be the first thought in using it though. A serrated blade is for sawing usually. I would probably default to putting my hand in place with an open hand strike of some sort and then sawing away on whatever I was in contact with. It's still lame, but I think I would trust sawing on something over impact not wrenching a knuckle out of joint.

[@IrocZIV]

Merry Christmas! No better time of year to get pepper sprayed :P

[@UnpleasantAlex]

The best treatment is 25% Dawn soap and 75% cold water. This is because pepper spray is oil based. The next best is 50/50 vinegar and cold water. Milk comes from people thinking pepper spray is an acid, but capsaicin actually isn't an acid. You're supposed to treat acids with a base. For some reason, we all grew up being told that milk is a base. It's actually a weak acid due to its lactic acid content. It's perfectly safe to put in your eyes if it's kept refrigerated, but it's dangerous when people use milk they've brought to protests or riots because it is prone to bacteria growth outside a fridge. A lot of movie stunt performers use milk in their eyes for underwater scenes. Waterpolo players have been known to use it as well.

[@willbrashear]

That is one way to her to pepper spray you.. "It's your family"

[@konstantin3101]

in the past we had protesters using milk against pepper spray with mixed results. using a 50 50 (whole milk water) solution seemed to be a bit more effective but all fell apart for them when we got straight to the tear gas^^

[@tylerward4386]

There should be some studies on capsaicin, those will have related chemicals examined sometimes. However I couldn't find anything (in 10 minutes lol) focused on law enforcement which would be the goal. Issue is you mentioned Dawn which should do the trick for a vast number of possible chemicals versus milk which only has a few. Dawn is just as ubiquitous (cleaning supply). As usual, you're probably spot on with your assessment.

Thoughts, is there a difference to spilling milk on the face or using a spray bottle with the milk in it then spray it on the face? Because Unus Annus get pepper sprayed and Mark and Ethan get the hose to spray on their face then the Spray milk bottle.

[@BlakeMcCringleberry]

That kiss was the sweetest thing ever. And then comes the pain. Merry Christmas!🎄

[@ritcheymt]

When my son got OC sprayed with the rest of his team during law enforcement training, he said the best thing to use on your eyes is a fan. If you dry out the eye, it stops stinging. He said milk was a bad idea. I believe his team was told to use a bottle of water and then a fan. But during the training, they also had to fight as soon as they were sprayed, so they were forced to open their eyes right after the spray. The scenario took into account that a lot of times while deploying OC spray on a perp, the spray drifts into the eyes of the LEO as well, and they have to keep fighting while they're suffering the effects of the spray.

My two cents, once I was preparing some very, very spicy peppers that left my hands burning for hours. I tried lots of things (oil, milk, ice water, etc.) and they all only provided momentary relief, as soon as I stopped it started burning again badly. The only thing that truly helped it get over with was very hot water and dish soap. Washing my hands and forearms for a few minutes this way really got rid of the pain

[@nunquamobliviscar]

[@gerardmcquade9102]

ages ago i heard a pepper expert say citrus is the best way to get rid of the heat from hot sauce or pepper eating so maybe you could try that, pineapple juice specifically

[@Joreel]

Im sooo sorry the milk made it so much worse. We have chemical wipes on hand for emergencies if someone gets pepper sprayed (or pepperballed since we have several pepperball launchers in the house). You are the GOAT when it comes to self testing of these products.

"Time, fresh air and your own tears will heal you" wooow, that was deep man. If you can't open up about your emotions and allow yourself to cry, you can't fight.

[@spankyjeffro5320]

The reason why people recommend milk, the "source", is because it helps with ingestion of hot chillies or peppers. It creates a barrier between the milk and digestive tracts. But to get rid of it on a surface or in your case, your face, you would use a solvent or a soap to physically move the oil.

The idea behind the milk is that, when eating spicy food, milk is what helps take the burn away. I've also found that straight up kosher salt on my tongue helps cool things down a bit, too...but that's another thing that I don't really want in my eyes. lol

[@farvatron]

"I'm not doing that" "Did you buy milk?" "We've got people coming over" WOW so caring

[@TrueNorthWilds]

Johnson No Tears baby shampoo is the best. The goal isn't to try and 'neutralize' the heat or anything, the goal is to get the particulates off your eye so they stop irritating the nerve receptors. Soap is the way to do that, that's the whole point of soap, and the baby shampoo wont also sting. The key, and hard part is to get your eyes open long enough to get a good flush with soapy water. Source - A couple OC spray courses, and been sprayed a few times now.

[@jimkim125]

That's a really interesting conversation on conflict response: I was in a class about concealed permit, and the instructor set one of us up on a simulator where a bad guy comes into a room and starts attacking. The gal who had NRA Instructor training was zoned in, then when the attack started, she brought her hands to her face in an automatic defensive response instead of drawing on the guy. I am really curious how I would respond to such a conflict, although hopefully it's never a question that comes up!
