How to Make 10X Powerful Pepper Spray 

instead of a spray bottle, I use a spent small fire extinguisher. Pump it up with the air compressor and hang it on the wall. It's 1 of the best self-defense things in my house.

Please don’t spray yourself. Regardless of how many subscribers you get. Thanks for sharing!

PLEASE DON'T SPRAY YOURSELF. IT COULD ACTUALLY KILL YOU. I've been making pepper spray for years for personal protection. I put it in a shampoo bottle and decorate it with beautiful decoupage. Some sit on my counter as a lovely decoration. The small size of the shampoo bottle allows me to carry it everywhere I go and I always have many on hand and in the car. I use vinegar to extract the capsaicin as it will give it an indefinitely long life span. Also use a little dish detergent soap as an adjuvant to spread it around (like you use the oil). Did not know about Carolina reaper peppers. will order some immediately and grow them so they will always be in supply. Great video.

A better "reach out and touch somebody" method of delivery would be one of the water guns that can shoot 50 feet. With this stuff, the farther out you can deliver the stuff to an aggressor(s), the better it is for you from a tactical standpoint.

I set up a rig for my car that has a 16 gallon tank in the trunk with a 12-volt 2 GPM pump connected to a 4 Way splitter. I have a nozzle at the bottom corner of front and back windshields that you cannot see unless you're looking closely. It will soak a 20 ft circle around the car and you don't want to be anywhere near or downwind of that. I learned the hard way that it's best to make sure your air conditioner is on recirculate and then turned off before you hit the switch though.

Please use rubber gloves. If you had an issue while making this, and had it on your hands you could make the situation so much worse. If you have kids or pets you should also grab a tarp. Baking soda or corn starch will neutralize capsaicin. Have some mixed with water to make a paste before you start.

I started growing these peppers last year just for this purpose. I thought it would be great to have a bottle in every room in case of an untimely intrusion

In chemistry they teach you to take a deep breath prior to smelling something, so you don't get that shock causing reflex inhalation as you lungs are already full. Soaking longer overnight will definitely produce a more potent product.

I would be wearing rubber gloves while doing this...just a safety tip for the future.

1. Use Vodka. The rubbing alcohol is methylated and poisonous. 2. When you add whatever amount of oil, also add a little dish soap to render the alcohol and oil miscible or they will not blend. All told, I would wager that different active components in the peppers will dissolve in water, alcohol and the oil component. Using Vodka and oil would be a good pairing, IMHO.

You've put a smile on my face, cause I'm a "pepperhead" and know what this video is going to cost you. I've used pepper spray to keep animals away from areas for years. Though a longer process, this one maybe easier and less painful. Grind the peppers and then place in a bowl, then place in the fridge. After letting the mash sit for several days, the oil will separate to the surface, where it can be spooned off. Take this oil and mix with about 2 to 3 times the amount of water. Yes, I know oil and water don't mix, but then put in several drops of good dish soap(personally use Dawn,) then into the spray canister it goes. It may not be as potent, but surely will do the job. It also doesn't use precious commodities up, like the oil and alcohol, which surely will come in handy down the road.

Has anyone ever grated raw horseradish? It will make you cough, face turns red, you cannot breath, eyes water profusely. I imagine using the liquid from this would turn away a zombie.

My father who eat hot peppers his whole life. Well I sent him some Carolina reapers and some ghost peppers two summers ago.He told me not to send them anymore and that they were poison. LMAO.

Interesting fact: you can distill poison ivy into a quite potent oil. Basically the same method as making your own essential oil but instead of lavender you use poison ivy leaves. The effect of course is not immediate but delayed approximately 12-24hrs however lasts much longer than pepper spray. Pro tip: NEVER attempt to distill poison ivy unless you are 100% immune to it... like I am.

My mate made one from a pint of fermented piss and 2 spoons of Reaper pepper powder, in a sports drink bottle. He can just flip the lid, pretend to be about to take a swig then strike first. It’s so potent he leaves it on the patio behind his house, he can’t take a chance on it being in the house and anything happening, he carries it when he’s cycling. He reckons anyone sprayed with it will have to go to hospital cos the concentrated piss is very acidic.

I grow ghost peppers and reapers to make fermented sauces and hot pepper powder for cooking. An interesting use for any extra peppers I might have. A local pub near me infuses a 5 gallon jar of vodka with reapers. I'm talking a jar full of reapers. Each jar goes for a year before being moved to the kitchen to make wing sauce.

This is one of the funniest videos I've watched from you. Lol. Ty

Nate you've already taken enough for the team- all this just for a few likes, I'd hate to see you get nailed with this stuff. Thank you, very valuable video you guys made here.

We have in the past considered making a HUGE batch of that pepper spray and rigging up a system that would inject it into our underground sprinkler system that surrounds about an acre of our house on our multi-acre rural property. If TSHTF and unwelcome intruders encroach the house then we could fire up the generator, or use the solar/battery power, and activate the well and sprinkler system and bring them to their knees (or their writhing on the ground in agony)! It would make it a simpler and hopefully non-lethal way to deal with unwanted intruders.

I've used acetone to soak plant material in before & it extracts the oils ,then let the liquid sit uncovered to evaporate the acetone, all that's left behind is the oil, mix that with a carrier ( alcohol) .

I do not recommend you spraying this into your eyes. Nope - That mix is meant for the bad guys lol. Your vision is worth way more than a few subs!

I think this is my favorite Canadian prepper video so far. I’m going to try this

Add salt, it intensifies the heat. Don’t believe me. Eat something spicy, then add some sal to the dish. You will see for yourself the salt does make it hotter.

Saw this video last year and you inspired me to grow ghost peppers in my garden. We have harvested well over 100 ghost peppers from my 4 plants and will be making this solution soon. Wish me luck. Thanks for all you do and all your info, its been invaluable. Have been seriously prepping for the last year, hopefully we've done enough as it seems like SHTF is about to happen any day now. I know your agnostic, but GOD bless you brother! May HE keep you and yours safe! 🙏

One year in my garden we had a plethora of peppers. I took a few of the jalapenos and ghost peppers and Carolina reapers and allowed them to dehydrate fully. Once cracker dry I ran the grinder and mulched them into dust. I cracked the seal on the container and the fume wofting from it was like chemical warfare. The entire house was evacuated! I got it sealed up in a jar. The idea was if I ever needed a legitimate grenade for anything I had this pepper puppy.

Iv seen chemical burns in eyes Please don't do it! Love you man.

Just found this channel , I am a veteran and think this is great . We need more like this .

The first time I got the idea of making a homemade mace was when watching an episode of MacGyver and he cooked up a pot full of water and chili powder, then proceeded to use a mop as the administering device.

Vegetable oil is a great solvent all by itself and won't wipe off. Also, DO NOT spray your eyes for subs or any reason. The team has spoken in this, the comment section.

The child’s toy master blaster/super soaker would work well with this great video well done

dude.....i have been through the gas hut in marine training and that was brutal. been sprayed with oc10 as part of training with the sheriffs dept and that was every bit as bad. I think you need to do this for yourself and anything that shows up in your subs is just icing on the cake. Have fun with that!!!

Thank you for the idea. It is a natural, and replenishable defence.

One time i cut up 1 hobenaro for a huge pot of chilli i washed my hands literally 8 or 9 times knowing it was no joke. Well even though I washed them so many times when I went to pee i burned my willy. I had to dip it in milk then sugar water. Fun fact the scholeville scale is how much sugar it takes to counter act the heat. So if you ever eat a hot pepper and start having a hard time eat pure sugar it will counteract the capsaicin

I have raw ammonia in washing up liquid squeezy bottle. Shoots a nice direct jet, quickly and powerfully…I would only employ such a strategy under extreme threat.

Take your pure capsaicin oil, mix with mineral oil and put into garden fogger. Make sure you are up wind of target and start dispersing crowds of trash. Might want full facemask protection as the fog will likely come back you at some point. Could also be used to clear rooms, buildings, or other enclosed spaces.

If you would have taken that sludge and also the large debris that was left over. And put it in a skillet heated up with oil let it simmer for a while you end up with a really concentrate. Use a paint filter to filter out all the large particles

Lol FBI and CIA watching this video: "sir, I think we have a problem here". Excellent video brother.

Huge fan love the video no one has ever talked about hot glue and its uses in a grid down situation

I make this to spray on my Christmas display wires so the tree rats do not eat through them. Works great, but I must use latex gloves to hang and remove! Merry Christmas!

Capsaicin spray is an excellent intermediate defensive tool. Being trained and practiced with your CCW pistol is excellent, but if attacked by a group, this will be the more efficient way to fight all of them. And in the evenf of more localized disruptions(like a soccer riot), this is a great less-lethal tool to defend your property that won't carry the same weight of legal ramification as shooting a dozen protestors from your porch witb an AR-15. When I built my house, one of the intrinsic security features I included was spray bars(like supermarkets use for produce) at all of my entryways. They're great for misting water on hot days for the kids playing in the yard, and for my wife's humidity-loving plants around the entry. But I also have a spare line in the basement to connect to a reservoir, and I experimented with a few variations of this kind of recipe to make sure it was fine enough to pump and spray through the system.

As a Chemist, I can give you some tips: 1) Capsaicin dissolves better in oils/alcohols than in water. That's also why you should wash yourself with milk or oil and not water. In the worst case, water removes whatever solubilized the irritant in the first place! For instance, if you mix water into a saturated alcoholic solution, it will precipitate! 2) thus, extraction with oil or alcohol is far more efficient (though you might be able to boil it in water and isolate it from the vapors) 3) filters are either made for water or oils. If you put a mixture of water and oil on them, they will get blocked! 4) depending on the delivery method, you should tune the viscosity and stickiness. If you got a super soaker, you could go for a more viscous solution (as long as you don't create overpressure) this would increase the range and adhesion on the target, whereas something that creates fine droplets needs to be more fluid and being sticky would render the device useless. 5) I'm no expert on this, but I'm fairly certain that it takes longer for oil to show effect than an aqueous solution, or better yet an alcoholic solution. You have to understand that there will be competition between both phases regarding where the irritant dissolves. Oil works better than skin and thus can be used to wash it off. Water is worse and thus will force it into the skin. Alcohol lies in between and will evaporate, but also has a tendency of degreasing skin, which makes the skin more vulnerable to oils seeping into them. Gasoline would be similar to alcohol but worse for the target. PS: you could play around by adding soap and dissolving very large molecules to alter the viscosity and stickiness. (this can be seen in the construction of molotovs where gasoline may be mixed with polystyrene, and soap, which can go as far that you could get it to stick onto the ceiling)

Don't ever touch your junk after handling any kind of peppers.... just sayn

I powdered some Habanero peppers years ago and mixed with paint. We painted the front of our parts store with the mixture. Previously had a spider problem. They didn’t come back for over 3 years.

The content of the video was entertaining and informative, but the whole time all I was thinking was "where can I get that T-Shirt?" 🤣👍

That is by far the cleanest and most uncluttered kitchen I have ever seen. I'm pretty spartan about my house, but that kitchen looks like something in a TV studio... like, not an actual kitchen used every day.

I 🤍 the end of the roll T shirt!!!! I want one!

To get the most out of the chilli you can use oil to pull the capsaicin out, grind the chilli and put it in a small heavy base sauce pan, cover with a thin layer of oil and cook over a very low heat. This will infuse the oil..it’s easier to filter too. you can then use this extreme chilli oil added to isopropanol or vinegar as pepper spray

drain cleaner in a super soaker you must wear swim goggles and a face shield when using the squirt gun, you can buy big bottles of drain cleaner at discount stores. Or fill the super soaker with hot sauce. You can but gallons of hot sauce at many grocery outlets.

All due respect... I am asking you... DO NOT SPRAY THAT MIX IN YOUR EYES.

I've been working on this for years. I'm a seed seller, so this has given me the advantage of trying them all. Mix it with vodka. If you mix it with water, it will go rancid. Peppers can be grown indoors; I've had a Datil that is 5 years old. And I do Carolina Reapers. If you use alcohol, it will last for years. Keep the Spaghetti sauce and mix it for long term use. When you wash up all of your dishes, when any of that hits the water, it's going to make fumes.

My eyes literally started burning just watching this.. Thats crazy.

A spoonful of sour cream in the mouth is the best way to neutralize the hot pepper burning in your mouth. Drinking water or sloshing your mouth out with water is relatively ineffective and slow to neutralize the burning.

Don’t spray yourself! Imagine SHTF as you’re in hospital getting your eyes removed because of this. Won’t get you far. Best from Deutschland!

These pump/spray bottles always fail me. Anyone knows of a real good one?

Laughing my ass off at your great shirt and then you splice in "you're gonna have a bad time." Laughed so hard I choked 😂😂😂

I'm an Aussie. So... Gun ownership is difficult. Although i have held a firearms licence once, when I was on a property. This is pure gold. I know of people who have used pepper dust straight on a fence.... she worked at the hospital where 2 boys came in with burnt talliwhackers. They lived behind her!!! Needles to say. She hasn't had any fence hoppers since.

I used to teach (lab) science. Chemistry, biochemistry. All I can say about technique,gold star for the mother-of-invention use of every item in the kitchen 🤣, perhaps a little more safety equipment could have been used (gloves! Goggles! ) Also you can let the blitzed mix settle for a few minutes before decanting the top layer through a fine filter. Or you could use Jcloths, or even a piece of old sheet in a jelly- straining funnel and leave to.drip overnight. I would keep the paste for another extraction too. But otherwise, not a bad process. I'll be marking homework later....

NO CP, NO!!! Take it back. It ain't worth it, we love you and we need you. A mill subs is trash.

The moment I saw you pushing the peppers in the jar with your bare hand, I cringed! My neighbor grows Carolina Reapers (he is an odd duck who loves really hot peppers) and, as a favor for sharing lots of his garden with me, I dehydrate them for him to store. These are the one item I go nowhere near without donning latex gloves and safety glasses. And I keep the dehydrator outside on the garage apron the whole time!

After the last comment, I didn’t have the heart to give you a thumbs up. I couldn’t imagine watching when that vid comes out 😱 great info!

Go from Canadian Prepper, to the Blind Prepper.

I season my food with Carolina Reaper which as you probably know reaches over 2 million scoville units. That's as high as law enforcement pepper spray. I used to dry and grind fresh Carolina Reaper peppers into a fine powder to season my food and I can tell you that it was strong enough to clear the house when I used to grind my own. I used an electric grinder that had a rubber seal and even with that enough got into the air to clear the house. For that reason I now buy pure Carolina Reaper already in powder form. I've thought about using it for the purpose you mention here, but here in the U.S. we can just buy pepper spray. I do like to tinker though so this has sparked my interest.

You should use cold water to clean up utensils. Hot water causes more vapors.

Great video. I regularly make this, given to daughter for self protection, i carry some in small sprayer containers, purely for self defence should i require use. I use finely ground chillie powders, soaked for 24 hours in vegetable oil. Then use wiping alcohol or similar that has alcohol contents over 70 percent. Leave again for about 24hours. Potency very strong, you don't want it in your eyes

Had a helper eat a reaper of a customer's house a couple weeks back. He did it voluntarily not known what they were trying to prove himself. Proved to be quite the source of entertainment

Add black pepper extract it activates sneeze reflex and makes one inhale and such some in

Am ex British Army and from experience I find women’s pantyhose or nylon stockings are the best to use to filter out the pure pepper spray liquid from the sediment of the peppers 🙂

You could probably put it in one of those kids water blasters for maximum spray power, for the bears of course!

Don’t do it! I won’t give you thumbs up so you don’t! You don’t need to go blind to prove it works! I believe!

You need a funnel to put the coffee filter in, lol.

Not sure you should do these videos when you come back from a night of drinking... 😂️😂️

that "your gonna have a bad time" South Park clip was used perfectly oh my gosh.

I keep telling you, YOGURT! You can use it directly on your skin, or eat it to stop the burn if you eat some. You really should listen to others sometimes. lol

Hell yeah! Grow your defense! Carolina Reapers, ghost pepper, onion, garlic and lemon juice!

Has anyone looked at an air rifle with self filled plastic balls? You can really reach out and touch a few people at the same time. Also, look at Cold Fire fire extinguisher. The military use this as a fire extinguisher and a self defense spray because it sucks out all of the air quickly and gets super cold. Wicked stuff!

I have ghost peppers and I make different things with it. I've separated the capsaicin from the pepper to make a pain reliever and it does work for arthritis, bruises, pulled muscles ect. I've also made something similar to a pepper spray. Take as many peppers as needed and put the whole pepper in a blender and once it is pretty liquidy strain it through a cheese cloth. Now you can put the liquid in a sprayer and use the pulp for anything else. I haven't sprayed it in my eyes because I'm afraid. But I have tasted it and the burn lasted hours even with milk. Also I've dried them out and replaced some of the bbs in my shotgun shells with the powder. That I did shoot into the wind (big mistake) . So just know capsaicin can heal you and hurt you.

Dont do it, permenant damage isnt worth it.. you can just let us know in a few days cause you know at some.point youre gonna wipe your eyes.. i can tell ya from personal experiance, that will stay on your hands for about 2 days.. at least with scotch bonnets it does

I love how the government takes away people's right to self-defense even regarding non-lethal stuff. Almost as if they want you to be completely reliant on them. Also funny how anything related to prepping, hunting/fishing,etc are all demonetized channels. Again, almost as if they don't want to being self-reliant but rather reliant on them.

My ideal bug out vehicle is a skateboard, leaf blower and an umbrella!!!

I will force all my friends and family, including grandma if you DON’T spray yourself. I like this channel and don’t want you going blind to keep it! Don’t do it, CP! BTW, this video was hilarious!

How about using Sriracha sauce? It's already mixed and is hot as hell.

instead of a coffeefilter or a paper towel, use 1 of those cleaningcloths you wrap around a 'swiffer', any liquid runs right through trust me

"Thats the devil right there" Lmao great video and subject. I never thought about making my own pepper spray before. Definitely have to try this

If I run out of ammo, that would mean the Shizzy really did hit the Fizzy….. big time!!!

Omg. You've made my night. As a chef I could watch this all day. 🤣🤣😂😍😎. Love it. Also educational I have 20lbs of assorted reapers/ghost chilies. And assorted hot peppers I use for "hotter than hell Cheese balls". Great to know I can use them for other things.

So that pepper pasta sauce... I would really add a spoonful of that to some regular pasta sauce to spice it up a bit. Did you keep it? Are you really going to send that to someone?

Hello Canadian Prepper with Canadian Pepper! Thx for an interesting lesson! Take care and be well!🙏😊❤

Possibly might get stronger if you ferment the mixture for a week

😂😂😂 the things you do for us! Thank you so very much for this video, this is a great idea!

I plan to work on making 5-10 gallons and storing in in five gallon buckets. With a pressurized garden sprayer, I can spray the leaves and brush on the side of the trail going to my campsite. Not going to do this anytime soon.......but in a SHTF scenario, it would be a great "area denial" tool if 30 looters are headed my way.

And if you use it on a bear, leave the area. For some reason, the residue will attract them back to the area.

Dont get sprayed with that man! Just hit the 1m and that's it

You're supposed to waft; Never smell directly if you're unsure. Also, if you're gonna make/use this, have a spray bottle of half water, half milk of magnesia in case you get any on you. Once the alcohol evaporates, won't it mold? Glycerin is sometimes used in place of alcohol to make extracts. I've had to use my spray before at very close range (as in, the recipient was right up in my face), and I was super glad it was the gel kind and none got on me. I wonder if using glycerin would make it a similar consistency? Or adding some kind of starch to thicken it? You'd need to get the right type of sprayer for a gel, too, otherwise it might just dribble down your hand and be useless.

When you add lower capsaicin peppers to higher capsaicin peppers to your mix, you dilute the potency. Stick with the highest potency peppers. If you want to spray a little in your chile, use ethanol. Rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol is poisonous. Also, be careful: isopropyl alcohol in the eyes can cause blindness! It is also flammable. I looked up the boiling point of ethanol alcohol and it is 82 degrees C or 180F. (I would not try to boil isopropyl alcohol since it is flammable.) To eliminate 100% of the alcohol requires about 3 hours of boiling (when mixed with an ingredient, usually food). Of course, alcohol after enough hours will also evaporate at room temperature, but only if the container is left unsealed. I would stick with ethanol. Then you could also use a smidgeon in your cooking without worrying if there was still some unevaporated alcohol in the mixture. Maybe you could find a chemist to test your solution for its exact Scoville Unit count or its capsaicin concentration. Then you would know how it compares to commercial products. And I would not let someone spray me just to up my subscriber count, although if it lands you in the hospital you might be able to get free publicity from your local news reporters. Worth it? Almost certainly not. According to an internet source I just googled: "How hot is bear spray on the Scoville scale? Undiluted, it ranks on the Scoville heat unit scale at 3.2 million to 3.6 million. For reference, habanero peppers hit between 80,000 to 200,000. Because capsicum is so potent, the EPA, which regulates the sprays, says bear spray cannot contain more than 2 percent of the stuff." For comparison, Dave's Insanity Sauce (if you have ever used that commercial condiment, as I have) has been rated at a "mere" 180,000 Scoville heat units. I saw two sources that each claimed 100% pure capsaicin to be about 16 million Scoville units.

Oh my gosh I'm dying!!😂😂 CP this video takes the cake! I don't even have pets near me and I got tears in my eyes.

Well pepper spray only really well when you sweat. If you don't sweat it doesn't work great. Ghost Pepper works great. I'd got it pure on my skin burned like fire for about 8hrs. Nothing helped.

No! Don't get sprayed with that! We love you!

Best laugh I'd had in a while......thanks for what you're doing

Yes. December 4 2023 Stay frosty, Stay strapped, learn life skills now.

1) please for the love of Pete wear gloves next time. 2) You’d get a higher concentration of capsaicin if you just cut up the chilies and let them soak in 80 proof alcohol in a dark place for anywhere between a week and a month.
