Gas masks

[Chucktshoes]

Has anyone added a gas mask to their prep kits? If so, which one? I am considering my options and looking for recommendations.

If you have, have you tested your mask in any way? Edited December 27, 2012 by Chucktshoes

I caught these for <$20 each many months ago from amazon:

Bought a slew of them (don't know why).

If you want to add that kind of item to your preps id take a serious look at the M40 series pro mask.  Since they are the military issue mask there a alot of them on the market for relatively cheap.  Added to that is the fact that canisters are readily available for them for a variety  of possible enviornments.  Remember no single canister will protect you from every threat.  If not the m40 i would find something that accepts the standard 40mm threaded NATO canisters  as this is the most common canister threading

Feed Mike357 a pound of goetta and just hang around for an hour. There is no better test.

I got 2 of the Czech masks for around $20 each. I haven't tested them other than trying them on.  I guess I am just hoping if I need one, it will work.
