Forrest Smith

Hi, my name is Forrest Smith and this channel is geared mostly at those that seek the self-sustained/preparedness life, as well as those that walk the concealed-carry/personal safety path. I am documenting myself starting a homestead. I have never raised animals before so it is baptism by fire. You can't do what you don't try. I've lived in some crazy places and have done some wild things and I am done with that life.

I was art of the invasion in to Iraq, spent 8 years as a military contractor in the Middle East, a Personal Protection Officer in Texas and Puerto Rico, trained armed security guards, taught defensive pistol and rifle classes, a paramedic, and a former Federal Police Officer.
I now live on my homestead in rural Alabama, seeking a quite, peaceful way of life, while also providing for myself and preparing for whatever my come my way. Subscribe and follow my journey.

Prepare, Train, Survive; Be Your Own First Line Of Defense!

    I always appreciate quick videos, but this one was a bit too quick. The biggest concern for sunshades is how difficult it is to fit them around your rearview mirror and this one only showed the installation and removal of one of the unobstructed side windows.

    Livestock guardian dog. They're (normally giant with thick coats to protect sensitive zones from attack) dogs that stay with livestock herds as protectors against predators.

    I got both to test out as well... I went out on a windy day and sprayed them upwind on purpose to experience how bad the blowback was. I actually found that I had more blowback with the gel than the spray... I think the gel is too thick to flow smoothly through the small nozzle, so it atomizes more into mist than the less viscous spray solution. Ironically that's the complete opposite of what it's supposed to be, but that's what I experienced... looks like you did as well on that one towel spray that made you cough. As such, I still prefer the liquid over the gel. I like how it flows down over the face faster as well.
