I was talking my uncle who worked in a mine the company had a hard time with the workers not keeping their mask on during the shift. So they brought in a lady who was an expert. She had them wear the mask and she went down into the mine with them. At lunch break she took off her filter and cut it in half and compared that one to the unused one and she did the same with the workers after they saw the difference for themselves they were much more compliant with wearing their mask.

Gas masks are one of the many things in prepping that I never hope I'll need, but when I need them they are essential. Better to have and not need than need and not have!

One thing you left out, yes these may protect somewhat against the particles of smoke, however, if you're in a smoke rich environment you NEED an oxygen supply through a tank. Large amounts of smoke in a confined space will completely displace the environment of oxygen, so even if you are getting clean air through the gasmask, you are not getting any oxygen with it, or at least a negligible amount that will not allow you to breathe. Tanks that firefighters use for example are compressed air, but there is enough oxygen in there to sustain life.

Man! This is exactly what I subscribed for. Unbiased and well researched information. It’s also very good how you take time to point out and explain small stuff. Thanks for this quality info and video.

You are brilliant,Nat! Thanks for the options. Stay safe!

ONE OF THE BEST UPGRADES FOR YOUR MASK IS TO USE A PAPR. For SIGNIFICANTLY easier breathing air flow, you can use these filters with a PAPR (powered air purifying respirator). Basically you connect filters to PAPR, connect PAPR to mask , then breathing becomes easier from the fan blower inside the papr.

@@robertpatter5509 lmao... that's VERY reasonable for a PAPR unit. the most common PAPR is the Scott C-420 which clocks the scale at a whopping $800, the SEA SE400 is tipping the cost scale at $1,000, the 3M RRPAS comes in at $1,300. So when you compare the price of the MIRA (which CAN still use the LiSo batteries) to the other professional ones (i run a C-420 as does a good chunk of the department) the MIRA PAPR is EXTREMELY well priced and inexpensive comparatively, while still being good quality from everything I've seen from my colleagues who use the MIRA PAPR. Just something to consider, especially because most people I see prepping, don't realize they are NOT in as good of shape as they think when it comes to performing under stress in a gas mask....doesn't matter how much you can lift or how far you can run, you need to condition your lungs for a gas mask otherwise you're going to tire easily.

First time so early . Learn a lot about gas mask . Thanks for sharing this info .

Good information presented. I'll just add in as far as smoke is concerned the HEPA filters don't really offer too much protection and should be a means to assist in exiting the situation. As far as chemical irritant (CS or OC) the HEPA do a good job but will start having odor/taste after a few hours and you'll notice reduced air flow. I wear them for work and would only imagine using them on the streets to pass through or exit a location, not to enter.

The early covid news coming from China pushed me to buy a gas mask and even though the virus wasn't as big of a threat as it seemed to be I'm still glad I bought a gas mask and a handful of nbc filters.

I have the PMK-4 gas mask Russian army, rubberized hazmat chemical suit and hazmat boots, they are coming out with adapter hoses for Russian to 40 mm threads, the hoses allows for distant placement like in another bag or area for indirect exposure, could make a hepa filter bag than place your remote filter into that making the actual filter last longer, even a furnace filter cut up for a bag filter. in a survival SHTF longevity may be a key to long term survival when things are harder to come by. The rubberized suit came with feet or shoe soles but there not great foot wear made more for a indoor environment or to be used for a period than discarded after the operation is completed. for general uses it's great as it's washable with harsh cleaners, I cut the feet part off and will use the hazmat boots with the suit. Duck tape etc.. would be ideal to also accompany the kit loadout.

Thanks for the info!

HEPA filters' rating is actually the particulate size they are *least* effective against, they are more effective the larger or smaller particles are from the rating

A gas mask WILL help you if you're caught in a volcanic ash fallout storm. I used one during MT ST Helens dumped ash all over E WA. I rode in back of an open piuck-up truck with no respiratory issues wearing it.

Can you use those extension tubes to get the filters away from your face? It would be easier to use 2 or 3 if they were mounted to a place carrier instead of my face.

Your a beast dude!

Prepper Canadian! Have you ever done a video about deworming medicine being essential? I just had pinworms and lost like 10 lbs because of it. In a survival situation that's a death sentence.

I'm using a MIRA MB90 in an industrial environment. The one thing I have been searching for are filter canisters that allow the addition of a pre filter since I get so much dust and metal into the filter which wears it out pre maturely. If I can do this I can change the pre filter often and the particulate filter less often. I know 3M has some filters and pre filters but I don't know much about them or if they would work. Do you have any insight on products that have pre filter support?

So, I have a question...can we clean the filters? I was in the military before and my understanding is that filters go bad very quickly....but, in a difficult situation as a civilian, maybe we have no access to new filters, so what do we do?

The point of the 3 ports is for shouldering a rifle so you can move the filters so it doesn't get in the way of the gun

I have a question, how should you keep your masks at the ready. So for example SHTF and it we need to grab them, and go....should they be in a plastic bag inside your go bag? Not hanging up IDK just trying to get a game plan

I have the Israeli gas masks filters, im wondering what the self life is for those?

So if I want to go near an erupting volcano, the correct filter to get would be the VKF-450 Carbon Mono filter?

Got mine in Israel . Sad to have to carry one every day but do what you have to. I was also given a bottle of K it's too stop radiation block it from the thyroid.

Please make a video on how to make your own filters

They do make a 40mm to 3M adapters. Should you want to be able to use those. Think eBay has them. This way your gas mask can use commercial non nbc filters. The SGE Infinity mask is a good option combined with the 40mm to 3M adapter, NBC-77 or VKF-450 should you just want one mask that does many things. You won't always want the nbc protection. That's where the Mira P3 filter comes in handy. If you want one filter that does most try the NBC-77. Want smoke protection added? VKF-450. Don't need smoke or nbc? Mira P3.

With HEPA filter, I can imagine coming out of a fall-out shelter to go into the garage to get a tool and it reducing the dose of settled radioactive particles. I've worn chemical carbon filter, they only handle so much and will saturate hence a good replacement schedule is important. I'd assume the most likely use is in the case of civil unrest if the police or military hit the neighborhood with tear gas. Gas mask and civilian respirators have limits, they typically in the case of the latter have a "protection factor" of 1 to 50 to 1 to 100 with that 1 part getting through. The masks look similar (not the same) to North brand respirator hence I'd guess the "protection factor' aka exposure factor is likely similar. I not sure if the North brand threads match NATO threads? I only worn the masks for about 4 to 5 hours straight without a break. A means of drinking can be important. In an industrial setting you can leave the room or around to meet your biological needs.

Ahhhhh, thats why my water Filter dient work anymore. The active coal expired, dient know that

If you vacuum pack an opened filter will it preserve it?

Do these filters need to come wrapped in vacuum sealed Mylar? Or a mylar not vacuum sealed? I’m getting mixed answers. And should I vacuum seal it myself? Has it already been shortened by arriving in mail without any bag or seal?

Was wondering about respirators, full face and half ones, so they work similarly? Cuz I have a few and some different cartridges. Would live an answer and confirmation I didn’t spend money on the wrong product. Cheers from a fellow Canuck

I stocked up on these and filters back in December. Buy extra one for the kids. They mess with things and well it could get them killed if you don’t have en extra one.

You will not have difficultys breathing when a filter witch activated carbon will expire. You will start to smell something when it expires. However the particle filter in the ABEK filter will clough and give you difficultys breathing.

Will a gas mask block strong odors? For ex. I think something died at the back dumpster at the gas station i work at. I cant go near it because it smells horrible. Can a gas mask help me in this situation from masking the scent.

You should have mentioned about the threads of the gas mask filters since there's 3 different 40mm threads which is STANAG (NATO thread), GOST (Warsaw Pact/Russia/Eastern European thread), and DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung or in English German institute for standardization thread). DIN threads mostly found nowadays in industrial 40mm but not all the time. STANAG filters are the most common filters but they won't fit GOST threaded masks like GP-5 and PMG. GOST filters fit all three types of threads just like DIN but it's a bit of a controversial topic among the gas mask collectors community. Same goes to the myth of 40mm standardised/normalised thread which is said used used by Israel and China but in reality, Israel uses STANAG while China uses GOST yet unlike other countries, gas masks from these countries somehow fit with any of 3 threads. You should make a vid about it or at least make a video to warn about the threads. Either way, your videos are great. Edit: Sorry for my grammar. English is my second language.
