I have used RZ masks for a number of years and they served me well ….. very similar to the Base Camp. A couple of years ago, I installed a dust filtration unit on the ceiling of my workshop and also purchased a Positive Pressure mask system. For me, I feel that the PPAR does a better job. It is more expensive, but having lungs that are already compromised, I felt it was worth the investment to allow me to continue working in the shop.
Whatever you use ….. just use something! You only get one set of lungs and they need protection! Thanks for this great video Ken …. Shop safety can never be brought up too much 🤠🇨🇱
I have quite a few dust masks but so far, these are the most comfortable for me to use. I'm glad that you were able to find a system that works well for you Randy. As you said, the important part to take away from this video is to protect your lungs. WEAR SOMETHING. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your setup.
Thanks for the Base Camp video. After watching your demonstration, I bought the Base Camp mask. Just wanted to try it out before commenting. It really works great. NO fogged-up glasses and is comfortable. I'm about to purchase another just to have an extra. Thanks again
I'm glad that you were able to get some Tim and that you are happy with them. It's important to have PPE that is comfortable and effective. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for chiming in with your experience with Base Camp masks. It's appreciated.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
You're very welcome. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for tuning in.
I need to change my face mask, so I'll have a look at these.
It never hurts to look Mark and looking is free. Thanks for tuning in .
Kenny, I will be giving these a try. I have tried many different types of dust masks but have never found one I liked, maybe this will be it. Gotta save those lung, they are the only ones you have. Thanks for the review.
I hope you like them Paul. I find them to be very comfortable and easy to use. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Thank you, Ken, for your honest feedback on our masks. Your review video is fantastic! We're thrilled that you love our masks. We also appreciate your outstanding contribution to respiratory protection in the woodworking community.
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate the opportunity to test out your masks and continue to use them in my shop. Thank you for tuning in.
Hey I work in the epoxy industry and I do a fair amount of concrete grinding, I just wanted to know how efficient it is in protecting my lungs against the concrete dust.
@@Bible_Truths777 Thank you for your question. Our masks/filters are highly effective, filtering out 99.6% of airborne particles, including concrete dust. It's essential to use eye protection as well. Our masks are compatible with safety goggles.

@@Bible_Truths777 I wasn't sure about the answer on this question so I contacted BC mask directly and this is what they had to say....."Thank you for your question. Our masks/filters are effective in filtering out 99.6% of airborne particles, including concrete dust. They can effectively block fine particles from entering the respiratory tract, reducing the health risks associated with inhaling concrete dust. Please ensure a proper fit of the mask to maximize protection for your respiratory system."
I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
Great advise Kenny. I wish I thought about this 30 years ago. Between sawdust and smoking (which I quit 20 years ago) bought me a ticket to COPD. A dust mask would have saved me I do believe. Take it from me.DUST MASK, DUST MASK. Thanks for the great video. I have used RZ mask for a number of years now. The Base Camp looks very similar. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for sharing your story Ken. Unfortunately, as another viewer pointed out, we don't take the precautions until it's too late. I hope this video and your comment will serve to help those who it isn't "too late" for yet. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your thoughts.
Thank you so much for the Base Camp masks video! Just received mine today and they work great. I purchased 2 M-Cross masks with 6 filters. These straps work great because I have behind the ear hearing aids and they do not interfere with them. My glasses do not fog up either!
I appreciate you!!!

I'm glad that you were able to get yourself some #BCmasks Lloyd. I hope you continue to enjoy them. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Hi Kenny, good video and good advice, I use one of those respritory types and it has a little motor blowing in cool air as well. a bit combersome but worth it because instead of dust coming through the gaps it blows through the gaps as well and I like the effect of the cool air on my face . I have a fairly long beard now so this helps. looks like a good product that you are testing though. Thanks for this video.
Sounds like you have an incredible system worked out William. The problem with beards is that they interfere with the seal that the masks provides but it sounds like you have overcome that with the system that you use. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your methods.
I have been using them for a couple months. Very comfortable and does a great job. Currently working on a large vanity project using red cedar. The fine dust and odor are horrible. These have made it comfortable to work all day in those conditions.
Glad to hear that you are liking the Base Camp masks. I've been quite impressed with them since I've started using them. Thanks for tuning in.
Great video Kenny, we only have one set of lungs so we need to look after them. Take Care.

I couldn't agree with your more Barry. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I'm in the market for a new dust mask. My old one is worn out, and I've been using those cheap paper ones.
I absolutely HATE those cheap paper ones. They just don't breath and I end up sweating like crazy underneath them. Not to mention that I am constantly breathing in my own, hot, moist, stale air. They are just horrible. I hope that you are able to find a mask that suits you. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Yet another great video, giving the facts as you see them ... brilliant review 👍
Personally I wouldn't use this type of mask as I have a beard, even though you say it'll be better than a silicon type mask because it'll compress the hairs better ... you'll still have all the gaps between the hairs to allow dust in.
As for activated carbon, why? It's supposed to be a dust mask, why pay extra for activated carbon filters if you are not doing anything which gives off fumes!
I have to agree with the beard issue Barry. Having any facial hair at all with a mask will not provide as good of a seal as you truly need but with that being said, the cloth of these masks seem to work better with a beard than other styles. A proper method of respiration for those who have facial hair would be a full face mask that seals around the forehead, cheeks and below the neckline. As for the carbon filters, these masks are not just for woodworking. They are intended for things in the construction industry as well where the user might be exposed to things with fumes. Better to be look at it, than looking for it. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for chiming in with your thoughts.
Scrollnado is GREAT for dust collection on a scroll saw. I bought it at a woodworking show. I think $70.00. You should buy one. I think they make one for the bandsaw.
I've never heard of Scrollnado but will look into them David. How's the noise level though? Part of the relaxation of scrolling for me, is the fact that I don't have to wear hearing protections and I can just listen to music and work at the saw. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I hook up Scrollnado to my shop vac.
First to Post. That fine dust. Man it is a problem. Need to look into a mask for sure. Some heavy duty mask. Important to protect the lungs.
I have been using the Base Camp masks exclusively now for several weeks and I really like them. The lightweight nature provides a comfort that is unmatched by other masks that I have used in the past. Thanks for tuning in
I wear glasses also, and a mask using the lathe. Did you do any tests as far as glasses fogging up with the base camp mask and a lathe mask ???
I did Lloyd and using the basecamp mask while sanding at the lathe, WITH a full face shield on did not fog up my glasses at all. I found that as long as you have the nose piece adjusted properly for the shape of your nose, it forms a great seal under your glasses and prevents them from fogging up. All of your breath comes out of the one way valves below your glasses. I was very pleased about this. Thanks for tuning in. I hope this helps.
How does your safety glasses fit on those masks? I don’t wear mine because once you add the hearing protection the glasses don’t fit, meaning dust just flies right underneath the glasses and into my eyes. I feel it every time I’m in the shop without a mask, so I’m very interested and they do look comfortable. Luckily I don’t get out to the shop a lot right now, but in the near future I want to be out there a lot so I need to come up with a solution.
I have safety glasses that fit over top of my prescription glasses and they work just fine with these masks. They are low profile enough that there is no interference with eye protection. I hope this helps Randy. Thanks for tuning in.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I ordered them, for those prices heck yeah I’ll give them a shot.
Infelizmente, só damos o devido valor a esta proteção quando os problemas aparecem, não é mesmo?
Sadly, this is true. In most cases, by the time you realize that you should have been wearing protection, it is too late and the damage is done. I'm hoping this show will save a few people who are willing to take the warning now and protect themselves. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
