Garandthumb: *Successfully seals mask with facial hair*
Senior NCOs: ಠ_ಠ
I spent 25 years in law enforcement not being allowed to grow a beard due to gas masks. The first thing I did upon retirement was grow a beard.
They pushed Beards off the menu once again for the AF. With this same excuse 🥴
Submariner here. We grow out beards while underway and I never had an issue getting a perfect seal even with a big lumberjack beard.
@@Maverickib I could imagine if everyone had to shave that fine beard hair would not be great for the subs plumbing
@@Maverickib same here, many a fire drill perfect seal with a beard. Glad my capt was cool as long as he was the senior most person on board. His beard was also glorious.
"When you're at a mostly peaceful protest and you just gotta get rid of your local Burger King." Comedy gold.
It is, but when you think about it. It really ought not to be funny. They have taken over our government and we did nothing about it.
to be fair, fuck burger king
The BLM way of life, luckily no KFC or Popeye's gets burned down. Interesting isn't it?.
The real travesty is they didn't destroy GameStop. F**k GameStop
Burger King did that to themselves
Dude, this might be the best dad advice anybody has ever given on this channel.
This one is of lifelong importance even if you're _not_ a dad. Everybody should do this.
Hehe, "dad advice" doesn't mean it's just for dads. It's like advice that a wise dad would give.
I've just started getting into cooking now that I've got 3 kids. Trying to clean up our diet cuz my wife learned that so much of our American diet is styrofoam and poison.
Amazing. Its painfully simple and obvious once you hear it. Its amazing. Definitely a good buy for less than 100 bucks that could save your life if there is a forest fire/house fire/gas spill nearby.
Charlie is seriously one of the funniest people I know of. I literally laugh out loud so much at these videos with his comments
I've spent much of my professional life in full face respirators. When you're doing the suck test hold the suction for a few seconds don't breathe out rite away. You'll find slower leaks that way. Also petroleum jelly on the sealing surface can help quite a bit with a beard in an emergency.
Really cool
right
Really petroleum jelly? But do you have to apply right before putting it on? What do you do for work? Darth Vader?
@@Spiritofaconure I imagine its just there to fill in the gaps made by the facial hair to get a better seal, so yeah just before putting it on
@@Spiritofaconure I've used petroleum jelly to seal scuba mask while diving with facial hair. If it's good enough for 50 feet of water pressure it will work wonders on a gas mask.

Been in the Chemical corps my whole career. I did 10min on a bet with no mask in a SPICY chamber with some PT in the mix. Definitely controlled breathing and just being used to CS exposure helps. But it tore my lungs up the next couple days. We have the new 53’s (one filter, 40mm NATO standard) but I prefer the M50’s. Dual filters, easier to strip and clean and much cheaper. Unless you’re in a NATO apocalypse you should be fine.
Put one on and go do some chores, go for a jog, whatever. Just get used to using one. I have spent DAYS in MOPP 2-4 and wearing a mask constantly. If you are a rich boi, invest in a PAPR system.
Pro Tip: Your filters won’t protect you from chloramines.
Do you think mixing a cheap mask with a quality filter would give a good result?
@@mida42Im not that knowledgeable but as long as the filter screw is tight and it seals right you should be fine
Huge props to the camera man for always keeping a steady shot even going through the tear gas, what a real trooper!
As a painter I can fully attest to the value of a good respirator.
For sure. You don't want to screw up your high by breathing in a bunch of painting chemicals.
@@reedr1659 Lol.
I learned today. Next time I will be using one
As a failed painter, I can fully attest to the value of a good gassing

Integrating actual information and comedy is a good format. Keep up the videos.
Mildly informative, Massively entertaining!
Note on the Mira mask since I’m a dealer and have gotten to test fitment with multiple helmets. They do not work well with ACH geometry helmets. They work fine with the opscore super high cuts. The Avon masks work great with all helmets but does cost way more.
Thanks for the info!
I got a CM7M and the single strap at the 12 o clock position really interferes with helmets IME. Avon CM50 fits like a glove under my helmet. CM8M looks like they fixed that issue as well, would be curious what your experience is on that one!
@@peskyzebra the cm8 does work better but still not as well as Avon. It is a very decent mask for the money though. I will say head size can make a difference, so try and find a local retailer to try on what you want.
Avon is the gold standard when it comes to gas masks
@@Scott079 I agree. Avon as a company was non responsive for us and I have heard kinda sucks to deal with from other companies I know though.

lmao shows "2 replies" doesn't open either, comment too based for google
The dig at “mostly peaceful protests” had me dying
Now a doc comes out showing idiot Fauci actually gave funding to the first dude who probably spread it from the lab. So we put the guy who helped create it, in charge of controlling it. Insanity.
The NIH, NIAID, DOD, eco health alliance gave the Wuhan institute of virology millions in biological research funds and gain of function tech, so there’s that.

@@andreivaldez2929 holy shit that's genius
Tear gas is banned by the Geneva convention even specifically by name, yet here we are where you might actually get gassed attending an actual peaceful protest. Wouldn't surprise me if in the next year they tear gas a church, because why not? Qualified immunity, not like its going to matter to them, and they still won't be as bad as a Uvalde cop.
I remember going through the gas chamber in basic training.. You go into a tent with CS pellets burning in a can on a table initially with your mask on. The Drills would talk for a few minutes and then we were ordered to take our masks off... Holy crap.. A couple minutes reciting a few general orders was an eternity but you built extreme confidence in the function of that mask.
I remember that day as well. I was in the last group to go through, and the DS put in the measured amount of powder, looked at what was left, then dumped the rest in. But overall it was going well until we had to take the masks off.
My dad was a drill sergeant, and told me lots of stories of doing this to the new guys in basic
We had to sing the first verse of the Marine's hymn after removing our masks. Holy crap. I've never seen so much snot in my life. Well ok from other people; when it was my turn I couldn't see anything. This was with the old M17A1 mask, which actually worked really well until you had to change filters...then you died, because it took like 30 minutes to change filters. I was an NBC additional duty guy during the cold war. I lived in abject terror of either being gassed or being sprayed with what amounts to super-concentrated bug spray like I was a giant cockroach.
I accidentally bumped into my DS going into the chamber, they were pissed. smoked me while yelling at me to recite the soldiers creed lol. Its hilarious thinking about it now. not as funny back then
Never had clearer sinuses than after that chamber. One dunce cake didn’t follow instructions (they made us hold the mask flat against our sternum after taking it off) so we got an extra just under a minute breathing in love juices while hacking and crying out of all orifices before they let us out.
Great Video! I just bought a Mira a couple weeks ago. And great Dad Advice!! 👍🏻👍🏻
The Chinese, Charlie burn montage was top drawer.
Classic. 👌🏼
You know it's going to be a great episode when Charlie starts off spitting fire!
My dad was a industrial hygienist so he had gas mask and needed to test them often. He had this testing kit that would blow tear gas out a glass tube so you can test the seal and filter of your gas mask. You would break the end off thee tube and attach a rubber ball thing like on a clown horn. You would then squeeze the ball and tear gas comes blowing out the tube. As a kid it was fun getting my hands on it with my friends. We for sure learned how much it sucks to breath it in and get the gas in your eyes. I would stand in my shed wearing a gas mask and then pump as much tear gas into the sealed shed as possible. Buddies would try and stay in the shed as long last one wins. It was good times, till my buddie went home with his face swollen to hell, eyes swollon shut that my dad got a very angry call from his mom and shut it down real quick.

It's called a qualitative quantitative fit test. And the machines put out a nauseous gas that will make you puke IMMEDIATELY. It's done to ensure that the one that is wearing the mask isn't lying. 😂

6:48 “Yeah Mine works pretty good” (takes mask off and walks into gas) haha fantastic!!
A thing to add. When you are in a situation where you NEED to use these mask, you should exhale before taking a breath in. The purpose is to get rid of any harmful substance still left inside your mask. This is usually done before you do your suction test.
Yup. That was taught as part of the donning respirator and changing canister filter drill in the British Armed Forces.
Yeah it was taught to me during my Basic Military Qualifications while I was in the Canadian Armed Forces
Divers do that to purge water...
Did you know that exhaling is a part of breathing?

Sundstrom masks work great, we use half and full face respirators for chemical treatments. Stackable filters & parts easy to come by, but its worth investing if your going into an area where needed
Great point that CS gas tends to spread. I spent a year living on an Army base and they used to rent out sections of the base to the local PD for training purposes. One night we got a heads up”Hey guys, the PD is doing riot training tonight and they’re gonna be popping off tear gas, so you might wanna close your windows”. Well, the wind shifted unexpectedly and all the gas got blown into our barracks. I woke up the next morning and my room had a funny chemical smell to it.🤦🏼♂️
So... You got choked in the middle of your sleep? And woke in tears?
@@PrograErrorsounds hot ngl
after taking a cbrn class, you really have to some solid terrain and weather analysis before popping off gas
Always love seeing Charlie throwing Mike off his game 😂
Bought a Mira safety mask. Glad it was tested hear....it's a good product, I'm confident with it. Just wanna note, the filter is rated for oxygen levels as low to 17%....anything under or real heavy work requires a breathing apparatus
Mira mask, like the ones they're wearing around @7:00 mark, the CM M8 ($325) and CM 7M ($275) w/o filters. Mira does have a great selection of filters and accessories for their mask! Their CM M6 is $264 and is very similar to the Cm M8 but have seen reviews saying the CM M8 is perfecting the Cm M6 Design and offers a water delivery system accessory so you can drink when in use. Was just researching these today and stumble over this vid a few moments ago. Talk about timing, lol. So far,.. nothing seems to be as good as the Mira mask. Still researching but,.. think this vid just helped make my choices for 3. nice one guys!
When I worked in corrections, we'd have to occasionally use an OC phantom fogger for cell extractions, and compared to the standard OC/CS grenades we usually used the size of the particles were vastly different. The phantom particles were way smaller and had a higher concentration of PPB. That would bypass our gasmasks constantly leading us to have to extract a guy while also hacking up our lungs ourselves. After this happened 9 times, they finally got us better filters so we wouldnt be filling our masks with snot and tears anymore.
You guys got mask? We got a good luck move fast
@@andreyheidler1853 lol, you sound like a lot of the older guys I used to work with there. Absolutely awesome dudes.
Lol you guys gassed yourselves
Mira Safety is basically a reseller. Things like their DOT ABEK filters are essentially rebranded filters that originally come from Russia and some of their masks also come from Russia and other places.
I wonder how long till this gets deleted
Yeah, way back on the fal video when he was shilling and directly sponsored by them everyone told me what to actually buy in responses to the pinned comment. Avon all the way.
I thought they came from the Czech Republic
The CM-7M is just the Czech OM-90 re branded and marked up 3 times the cost. Their masks are made in several different countries, none of which are American.
I agree if ur paying more than $150 for a gas mask, ur probably being ripped off. Something like an m40 would work fine in a SHTF situation it just needs a new filter. The filter matters more than the mask. I would rather have a mask made in 1960 like a gp5 with a good CBRN filter than a new Mira mask with a cheap filter.
that was actually some great dad advice on the fly! Learn to cook, life's too short to eat crappy food. gave me some inspiration there.
This is a good opportunity to talk about people’s need to wear basic masks while doing things like cutting/grinding wood, metal, plastic, etc. Obviously you don’t need a gas mask but protect your lungs people!!
esp things like spray paint..that crap goes in & ain't coming back out. great way to lower your cardio ability aaha.
Yup. I've known people who never smoked a single cigarette and still died of lung cancer
Get out of here
I smoke a pack a day. Still use a mask when spraying paint or working with power tools on plastic materials. The ones with replaceable filters work fine.
I'm stupid, but not crazy stupid.
You ain't kidding, brother. Leaf blowing without a mask is the new smoking.

Would love to see a proper fair test of the two masks with comparable filters cus this “test” was clearly BS and a marketing campaign playing on outdated biases… The Amazon mask came with a dust / industrial vapor filter (as advertised), which won’t protect against CS gas duh

My buddy drove around base with a gas mask because he thought his car had an exhaust leak. MPs were not amused and pulled him over and told him to stop. This video brought a rush of laughter as I reminded of this
35 SECONDS... that's all I needed for today! :P Thanks Charlie
Have a couple masks I had as boat treasure when I got out. Definitely need to stock up on filters and train with them when I can.
Would love to see a comparison of gas masks vs full face respirators from 3M.
I prefer Mira
I’ve used a 3M respirator for gas before. It’s really the filters that are more important than the mask. I think I used the multi gas filters
I think for the money and most importantly the cost and availability of filters, the 3M full face mask with multi-gas filters will cover most of what you need. You don't need CBRN filters unless you also have the suit to protect your skin.
there isnt much of a difference between the two as they are both "gas masks" the only difference between them is that they use different gas mask filters for different purposes compared to one another (and depending on model different threads), its much better to buy a cheap gas mask with functioning filters than to buy the overpriced mira saftey gas masks + filters.

@Frankthetank123098 Lots of old Combloc gas mask filters use asbestos. Asbestos is very good at clearing air pollutants, but the problem with asbestos is it causes a myriad of health problems if inhaled for extended periods of time.
MSA is what we use for work (commercial/ industrial sheet metal install and demo)around certain toxic chemicals. And its all about the filter, concentration, and exposure over time. I personally only use 3M filters for my msa full face and half mask for my home projects.thats one of those thing that you get what you pay for.
@robertas9818 organic gas/acid vapor. 3m also sells cbrn filters as well. I would stay away from new old stock personally. You never really know what condition that old shit has been stored in.

honestly the best gas mask you can still get for pretty cheap is the polish MP-5 you can even find them in some surplus stores go for less than a 80$ throw in a brand new filter in it and you're all set, great visibility, comfortable and affordable.

Thank you flannel dad and team for getting lung cancer to educate us! 🙌
I remember when I was in the (Serbian) army, they issued us M2 gas masks. Then we had exercises where those dudes threw tons of tear gas on us. They threw some small canisters a lot like those you used in the video, but they also had some big ones, like a beer keg... All field was full of tear gas.
My mask didn't fit 100% so I did feel a slight smell of the gas, but nothing more than that, literally 0 problems. However, dumb as I am, I wanted to feel what's it like to inhale tear gas, so I briefly removed my mask... Let's just say that isn't an experience I would recommend...
I do remember that particular mask created a lot of issues if you were running with it; you simply wouldn't get enough air and felt as if suffocating, but removing it in a cloud of tear gas was also not a great idea, as previously established...
That was very stupid of you :) Thanks for sharing, dummy 🙂
Everyone should taste the gas once
💀
Good to know my M-2 should protect me if needed
lol
apart from the mentioned problems gt mentioned, the most important aspects is that, when you are purchasing for those items, they are more likely to be manufactured in line with cosplay category rather than military/militia grade requirements, despite any advertisement they may put up on the sales page/pictures. and only if you know your way around, you can get quality items with cheap deals, just like ebay.
Mira makes prescription glasses inserts for their masks. They stay with the masks. I used to work in a chemical plant with a full face respirator in 120 degree heat doing manual labor. My biggest thing is make sure you clean your mask, they will absolutely grow mold. Learn to take it apart and make sure you have tons of spare parts.
Purge your mask instead of ripping it off in the cloud. Fight through the panic and discomfort.
Practice up drills with the rifle shouldered a little higher and canted to the left to reduce or eliminate a cheek weld. You will be tempted to press your cheek harder into the buttstock to get a good sight picture but that will break your seal and youre straight up not gonna have a good time. This is less of an issue with an optic riser.
Limit the gear attached around where your filter will be so you can look down towards that direction or duck your head without breaking the seal.
Try to breath out through your nose as much as possible to prevent fogging. If your junk fogs up, exhale a little harder through the vent like youre blowing out a candle to help exhaust some of the moist air trapped.
Do more cardio.
Major key alert
Dont think you need to lecture former military on methods and tactics.
Also shave if possible, if you have a beard and absolutely need a mask then smother your beard in Vaseline and pull the straps TIGHT; which is not a perfect solution but it may or may not work in a pinch
@@removed7331 he knows what he's talking about. so lower your tone.
@@removed7331Different career fields have more exposure/usage of different things. OP is sharing experience here that is useful.
I like how Charlie just stood there with the mask and his glasses pushed down at 4:29. Good as Garand Thumb videos are, they're so much better with Charlie (and his broken green plastic rake) in them.
For those who wear Rx glasses, either get a good GM that you can get the frame incert that holds your Rx lenses or the divers type that has the thin band that goes around the back of your head. I wore the latter in the fire service for 25 years, they are very effective with non pressure demand GM's, Good point about clean shaven face, your GM and filter are only as good as the seal you have.
I really like the FM 54s but they are close to a thousand bucks. Mira Safety is awesome too, and affordable for certain people.
My Dad was a hazmat driver for years and needed to keep a gas mask at hand for obvious reasons - was bucking the company on having a beard and his solution for sealing a mask around facial hair was he tossed a small thing of petroleum jelly inside the mask itself. In a rapid emergency he could just cinch the mask on tight, if he had a moment to do so he would just slather on the petroleum jelly.
Where do you put the jelly? On the rim of the mask? My beard?

The Chinese mask worked fine. It clearly sealed and is threaded for the same 40mm filters. It just didn't come with a filter intended for tear gas.
Was curious about that cause you can’t have an objective test of the masks themselves if they used different filters. Same filters should’ve been used on all masks if possible.
I thought just that. Not all filters are made equal. Particle filters don't necesarely filter tear gas. They literally make filters for chemical contaminants. The cheap ones have a basic particle filter.
Agreed. I bought the cheap Chinese mask from Amazon but I bought the Israeli CBNR filters. My mask seals great so I am hoping the filter type is what makes the difference.
I hated the gas mask during my military service. It made everything more difficult, it was harder to see and during summer time it was hot af.
The tear gas training was fun though as was the "going through a burning building" exercise.
We only practiced on how to seal it yourself because during an active gas attack, you have to put on the mask lightning fast.

Can you guys re-do this but shooting drills while in the tear gas? Would be nice to see clearing a room while tear-gas is active with gas mask! Love you content watch everyday
Would love to see a followup video testing some foreign surplus gas masks, with modern filters.
Pretty much any gas mask that seals will work against tear gas. even if the filter is expired (and was originally of high quality). Tear gas is a particulate. The thing with milsurp gas masks is if they are made of a rubber that degrades quickly you would not want to use it against corrosive threats. Its been a while since I researched it but Butyl is one of the best rubbers for a milsurp mask to be made of because its very chemical resistant and degrades slowly
Careful about really old filters. Asbestos or something…if anyone wonders why.
That’s only the old ones from the Soviet Union. Any filter over 20 years old should be discarded
When I woke up this morning, I did not expect to see grown men frolicking in toxic smoke like children. @06:17 "WOOHOO!"
Great video! Keep the awesome content coming!!!!!
Former CBRN specialist 74D and current Hazmat technician. If you have facial hair you’re afraid will not allow a good seal I learned a trick from a spec ops guys to ensure you have a good seal. All you have to do is apply a good amount of Vaseline to the mask around the edges that creates the seal and you have a guaranteed seal . Obviously if you’re conventional military like I was then facial hair isn’t normally an issue as there are few instances where you can have facial hair
i love the casual blood on their hands
If you get exposed to tear gas DO NOT RUB YOUR FACE OR EYES

When I went through boot camp, I was told by one of my DIs that if you breathe in enough tear gas quick enough your body would acclimate to it and it wouldn’t bother you so much. My buddy did a terrible job of sealing my mask so as soon as they started cooking it up I was choking out, so I started breathing non as much gas as I could in anticipation of being ordered to doff the masks. Took off the mask when ordered and started taking in massive open mouthed breaths of CS. The instructors came over and thought something was wrong with me. Trying to be a hard ass I yelled, very broken up from all the choking and gagging “No Sir, bring it on” that DI had it out for me for sure hell of a memory.

The Cm-7m gasmask, aka the one from Tennant, has a narrower field a vision but is far superior for using magnified optics. Its actually what that style is meant for, having the two individual eye pieces recessed like that. It allows for you to get the scope much closer to your eye. Panoramic style masks like the other styles yall had are superior for holos and red dots, but do not work with most magnified optics. If your running in a squad that has a designated marksmen, you would want him using the Cm-7m so he can actually use a scope, while the rest of you use panoramic masks for a superior fov and target acquisition. That's just my 2 cents, I have no military background or nothin, just like studying history and tactics. I also own a Cm-7m that I got for $80 in pristine condition from a milsurp store as "issued." From what I hear, Mira gets them from the Czech military and refurbishes them, so there won't be any real difference with one you get from mira and one imported from the Czech republic. Its definitely not a bad mask, but isn't the best either, but its better than having nothing for sure, as I live in a big city, and with things going the way they are, a riot ain't an unlikely occurrence.
Where can i get it for$80????
Charlie's always on point with the big facts. 👌
To be fair, no mask that I've ever used was very tactical 😂 It took a lot of training to be able to engage targets with a MOPP on.
Yeah, but they're tacticool as hell.
I used to fly Apache helicopters and we had to do MOPP training once a year and fly at night with our mask on. We were pretty much combat ineffective with the mask on. About all I could do was fly somewhere and land.
@@twc9000 I assumed Apache cockpits were pressurized TIL
I think it helps to have a red dot on a 1.93+ inch riser.
@@JG_1998 Yup, pretty much the whole reason for the carry handle mount, cold war and all.
Sam out there doing the basic training laps was funny as hell
The Matty Matheson cameo at 12:27 is wild, good work boys
06:41 when your mask works so good you forget there is gas around....
My favorite mask by far is the Honeywell survivair opti-fit I wore one everyday 8 hours a day for about 2 years in an industrial context extremely comfortable and seals well when you're running around working. it's a pricey mask tho
Fun fact if you are issued a gas mask (especially reserves) look up the serial number on the filter. When I was in looked mine up out of boredom can’t really remember exactly but it was either listed as wayy expired or something else but it was not serviceable.
i have that same Chinese gas mask and during the wild fire with all the smoke in the air it worked really well for a cheep mask
I love how they never told us at Basic that the gas would deposit on your uniform and to keep it away from everything, else you contaminate everything and get a nasty surprise a few days later. lol
Funny how you were noticeably more confident walking into the cs gas with the military mask compared to all the others. Experience clearly trusting your equipment. Lowest bidder for the win I guess.
if youve ever been in the gas chamber at boot camp, you will definitely remember to appreciate how that shitty mask actually works :)
Almost positive it wasn't real gas. It was clearly just smoke grenades they wouldn't put themselves in harm like that
@@taticuskillgore5543 i bet you could tell what color underwear they had on too by the glint of their eyes right?
