Hey bro, I'm a big fan! I have a CM-6M mask how did you remove the cap? It seems locked.
@@marcelobonnet544 May just be tight, pliers?
@@CanadianPrepper I see, which way did you unscrew clockwise or anti-clockwise? I don't want to break it. Was it relatively easy for you? Or did you have to apply strength?
I love this channel.. Everytime I buy something new I have never used before, within a week.. You upload a vid on how to use it... Keep it up.. Its been extremely helpful and informative..
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. Good video. Most important get 40 thread filter to use.
40mm NATO, not 40mm GOST threads.

How good it was once recorded and how invaluable it is now 🙌🏼
THANK YOU, CP ! This is the first & ONLY detailed explanation of gas mask filters I have seen on RUclips ! GOOD WORK !
I Concur 💪💯💪
Check out "WeaponsAndStuff93" on RUclips. He does a ton of gas mask reviews.
He's been doing it since before the virus
Just as dude above me said, check weaponsandstuff93. He does great videos and he isn't being paid. Canadianprepper is being paid just for telling lies.
@@1brytol MIRA safety moment
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!
After all the wildfires I hope you’ve realized it doesn’t take WWIII to need one.
something of note: tear gas is a particulate, not a gas like the name implies
very useful, overlooked comment
@@SuperPenguin5495 He says it in the video...
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.
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.
Rebreathers are now on the same level of "overkill" as n95 masks 8 months ago, who knows, they may be a good idea eventually
@@abdallahmanasrah2317 I don't think it hurts to have a SCBA if you live in an area prone to wildfires, in fact I would get an SCBA over a regular gas mask if I lived in one of those areas. I only bring it up because that section of the video is a bit misleading when he claims you can survive with a gas mask filter in dense smoke for 15 minutes, that is just not true without a SCBA.
@@axbxa you can sirvive in a CO rich environment for 15 minutes (think a stove CO leak or a smoldering bush), not an oxygen depraved atmosphere (inside an actual roaring fire)
@@abdallahmanasrah2317 Exactly my point.
@@axbxa he made the same point if I understood him correctly. I think you are both right.
Thanks for the dive through filter ability and longevity. This is something that you realize you don't know enough about when you go to buy anything gas mask related.
I bought a few for family a year ago...glad you've simplified this info..mine are israeli
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.
Mira MB-90 is a PAPR
Looks pretty good.
Takes 8 AA batteries which lasts 12hrs for all 8. Uses two filters. And weighs less than 2lbs.
Fairly pricy at $400.
@@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.
@@crossbowsniper Thank You for the reminder
You are brilliant,Nat! Thanks for the options. Stay safe!
So Wise , Thank You . A good thing to have MANY of. Thank You for the Reminder of what WE ALL NEED , eventually
I have the yugo M1/M59 gas mask with a old filter and it works great, I use it mostley for spraying pesticides.
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.
This is timely, as the CDC will soon have us wearing gas mask in our car and while walking through the door of restaurants (But not once we sit down) to keep us safe from the ‘Rone.
Yes, it has been proven that while you are sitting indoors in a public place, removal of your mask for eating and drinking, actually scares away the sars2 / covid19 particles.
thewhitewolf haha yep
Exactly
Well at least those would work compared to the surgery masks that's just pure political bullshit
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.
@J Turdeau Yup I was super paranoid during February but thankfully it wasn't so bad, I also have gotten into the hobby of gas mask collecting. I have two from Yugoslavia, two from Russia and an Israeli one.
@Lightning Strike Right around February gp-5s used to be like 10$ now they're around 24$ for the full kit. Hopefully they drop back down in a few months. I also managed to snag a few still functioning NBC 40mm NATO/Gost filters from sportsman's guide for like 5 bucks each. Boy am I glad I acted early because we might be needing them if things actually get bad.
@@1810jeff Do you have the right filters for all your masks? else they are useless. I to started buying masks about 3 years ago paranoid of shit to come :)
@@CyprusTM Yeah but the only one I wear is the Israeli one since it's the most comfortable and for the Yugoslavian one I have a 60mm to 40mm NATO adapter so it's all good. And the filters I have are 40mm NATO/Gost filters and I've found a reliable source for them.
@@1810jeff I had a few Israeli ones, and sold them and bought Avon FM12 and Forsheda A4 (this one is the most comfortable one i got, paid 139$ Canadian for it tho)
Thank you for all the information in your videos 🙏🏼💚🙏🏼🌷😇
filters are in my opinion a lot more important then gas masks, a lot of people love to splurge on gas masks but then have no money left for filters, if i was going to spend 500$ i'd probably buy a british s10 (usually between 100-200$) and use the rest of the money all on filters, for a gas mask to work at a safe and comfortable level you really dont have to spend much (ex: israeli 30$ civilian mask) whats more important really is the filters, if you're going to splurge, splurge on filters
yeah even the old soviet masks work if you can get modern filters for them (by modern I mean modern GOST filters)
@@alexandercumers1912 but some carry asbestos around the diaphram(inhale and exhale hole), in the sealant on the inside of the mask
Do you have a source of any sort for that?
@@alexandercumers1912 aslo i know that may not be a russian mask but still a general heads up
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
Regarding 7:22, Hopcalite is a chemical mixture of copper oxide, manganese dioxide or manganese oxide.
I really like these comprehensive in depth videos your doing now
Avon Fm-12 is a great choice too!
Ive been a fan for years but the smooth jazz intro was not expected especially with the content lol. Made me laugh and I appreciate the information as always
First thing first go to a occupational medical center and get fit tested for a proper size and if you are medically sound to dawn one. Great video thank you for the info
When I went to a medical facility (non COVID related) they made me take off this type of mask. They stated that this class of mask only filters incoming air to the person. The exhale is not filtered so they made me take off my mask for a crappy surgical mask. Just something to note.
This has been very helpful. Thank you.
First time so early .
Learn a lot about gas mask .
Thanks for sharing this info .
Excellent instructional vid! clear well metered speech and concise to the point information
I really like your channel. Excellent content and it always stays withing the content of the title. Thanks for being so thorough
Do you need to keep the caps on the filters to keep it from ruining the shelf life ? How long will the filters last once you open them and have them connect to the mask ?
Nevermind…. I asked my question before watching the video in its entirety…… he answers my question in the video ! 😊
My GF wears one of those when I eat chilly.
Great stuff! Perfect timing. Just got my mask and one activated carbon filter so far.
Would love more talk about decontaminating and how to do it.
Decon is not something you can do by yourself without a highly specialized setup.
@@crossbowsniper Thanks for the reply!
Can you please teach us how to make radiation filters for bunkers ( maybe we can make small filters for gas masks too)
Nate you've said this in a few videos I've just been watching, and I think you need to follow up, because Mira says their P3 filter will not work for tear gas. It's in the FAQ section for that filter on their website.
So us neighbours to your east have just learned that our premiere is mulling the idea of a lockdown in the name of the Chinese cough....... got to say you were right once again. Keep up the good content and we’ll keep overlooking the fact you’re from saskabush lol
Great info on tear gas and CN gas being particulates not an actual gas, thx I did not know this.
makes the soldier keep going longer. thanks man.
Thank you very much for letting us know about the gas mask and filters. We will have to see what is in Australia.
Wow I didn't know that respirator filters expired! Thanks for the heads up.
Great video! Thank you!
Hey there I'm a hazmat tech and I have to be fit tested every year. And when we wear our masks we must b we clean shaven and have the proper size mask as well. Then we get a card with the make model and size mask we were tested in.
Great video! All you need to know in simple words. Thanks!
Sir pls make a video on ur biceps routine, they look vascular
So if I want to go near an erupting volcano, the correct filter to get would be the VKF-450 Carbon Mono filter?
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.
Thanx, just the info i needed.
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?
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.
Does any other kind of gas mask work? What cheaper mask would you recommend?
Thank you 👍
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.
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.
Whatching this is 2023 like, weve seen 3 situations this year. Wow thats literally like 3 days in 2023
Nice studio setup, nice lighting too....
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.
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?
You need to do an alternative cooking methods for if the grid does down. I've seen alot of videos the last 2 weeks of people buying a crap ton of food, but not buying ways to cook if there's no water pressure, electricity, or gas lines.
Which gas mask is the most comfortable? I have seen pictures of nurses/doctors with pressure ulcers from their masks after prolonged usage, i want to avoid such injuries.
Most comfortable mask i have are the AVON FM12 (bought for 80$) And the Swedish Forsheda A4 that i bought for 139$ and is in new condition.
Silversurfer It really has a lot to do with the shape of your face. You should test them in person for a proper seal, and definitely have a clean shave when in use, if possible. A sure way to test if it’s functioning properly is have someone spray your face with pepper spray. (Outdoors of course) You will very quickly find out if your mask is sealed correctly. Lol.
@LegoGuy87 I went through the gas chamber several times. My seal was always good, but the bite on your skin teaches too. We had to remove our gas mask in boot. So, I know very well what happens. I wasn’t referring to a mask such as the N95. Edit: the testing also creates confidence in your mask. Especially for new users who can often struggle with the confinement aspect of the mask. Just a thought.
thank you
How long will that last if you don't use them? If you store them unopened
Any benefit of having a tinted lens?
Pros?
Con?
Sure blocks the sun in ur eyes 😅
Man Slim I thought this video was going to blow...but I learned a couple of things I didn't know, like the length of usefulness when exposed to contaminants or just the shelf life...I wonder if those masks have an adapter for a camelback or if they come in Desert Tan, Coyote Brown or FDE...if not, well I just invented them..good video... update.. I'm stareing at the thumbnail and I see a hose hanging down I'm guessing that's a drinking adapter...
They last the cheaper ones you got technically last 20 and the Myra safety 20year one lasts 25 if sealed and stored properly
Great video CP!!
That hurt seeing you open it for demonstration lol
Thx bro, i just got my m50 gas mask,this is helpful!
Unfortunately M50 don't take 40mm
You said the green metal one has a 14 year life, you meant a 14 year 'shelf life' right? If it has a 14 year "LIFE" then I definitely want a couple of those! But if it's only 'shelf life' then I'd go with the MIRA that has a 20 year shelf life. You also said that the middle one was equivalent to the MIRA, if that's so then can you please tell me what more the green metal one filters that the MIRA does not? Please clarify if you get a chance to read this. Thank you very much!
Are nerve agent is concern outdoors? Smallest mask to survive nuclear fallout?
If there is a gas that makes the person unconscious as much as they pass out will this gas mask work? What type of gas mask will be needed for those kinds of scenarios???
I have the Israeli gas masks filters, im wondering what the self life is for those?
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
If you vacuum pack an opened filter will it preserve it?
How long will the Filter last in the Feel How many filters should one need to have
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.
Please make a video on how to make your own filters
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
Thanks, I knew very little about gas masks.
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.
Thanks CP!
@Nate.
What mask do you recommend for someone who Has to wear glasses?
I can’t function without mine and I’m in the market for a mask. But it needs to function While I wear my glasses.
I’m wondering if I’m stuck having to wear a partial face mask..
According to the MIRA Safety website, the CM-6M is compatible with the 3M Safety 6878 spectacle kit. I have the CM-6M, although I do not have the spectacle kit. Not sure if the Mestel mask has a kit available. Just FYI, gas masks are not compatible with standard glasses as they would break the seal.
@@bradjacobs6919 that’s my worry. If I get a full face mask will there be leaks around the arms of my glasses
What about construction masks . Like a full face respirator with good filters particularly that 3M brand. Could you do a video on that.
I asked that above, P100 filters and a wide assortment of chemical scrubbing media for any purpose at a good price
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?
Every house in the world should have one mask for each person..
Very helpful and interesting info.
nice but are they in stock? that's the question
Some advice : For both gasmask and filters, only go for Dräger brand. Most other brands are plain junk.
I have been using a Drager half face mask, and it is by far the most comfortable.
Hard to find for most people outside the EU. I bought rd40 filters made by Drager and they are great, this was way before the plandemic.
Agree, Drager products have years of industry use, along with 3M filters.
Excellent tutorial! I'm considering the MIRA model, but it's quite expensive.
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.
Practically speaking, a small P3 filter is all you really need, whether it comes to viruses and nuclear dust.
Better to have many of those than few of the thicc boys.
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.
Is the second filter good for volcano ash
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.
Which is better for escaping forest fires, a fire mask/smoke hood or a gas mask? Why are smoke hoods more expensive? The biggest risk for my family is forest fires in our neighborhood, so I want to keep something on hand that anyone can easily use in an emergency.
Smoke hoods are less expensive because they're disposable. A carbon monoxide filter would be Best for forest fires, although all the filters will work for that purpose it's the only one that will filter out monoxide.
@@CanadianPrepper Thank you! I was looking at the iEvac American certified smoke hood/fire mask, and it looks expensive compared to the gas masks. I'll check your links for gas mask recommendations. Happy New Year!
Thank You, very informative.
great Video
Hello, if we were in a situation where we do not know the nature of the substances released into the air, which filter would you recommend for all eventualities being able to have only one type of filters available?
Thank you!
CBRN rated filter will cover you for all possibilities. it is designed for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear contaminates....hence the CBRN designation of the filter. keep in mind you need to act BEFORE you are exposed to any substance that was released into the air, otherwise the filter does no good for you once you're exposed.
I'd recommend an NBC-77 SOF filter, this filter also has a 20 year shelf life which is quite handy if you want to stockpile some
I like how the thumbnail is using a Soviet asbestos filter
TY!
