Gas Mask Mistakes That Could Get You Killed

Two mistakes that could cost you your life in a CBRN emergency. Mistake 1: Quick-donning a mask that isn't designed for it. Not every gas mask can be quick-donned by flipping the harness over the front. If your respirator doesn't have a head harness loop it cannot be quick-donned — attempting it in a real emergency could be fatal. Mistake 2: Mounting two 40mm filters simultaneously. Two filter ports does not mean two filters. Most CBRN respirators are not certified for filters exceeding 500g combined weight. A single combined filter already weighs 360g+. Two filters may compromise the seal during fast movement or sudden head movements. #gasmask #cbrn #prepper
