Hi, I'm Mark Axelsson, president of well prepared where we specialize in products, disasters and emergencies. Today, we'd like to talk about using a gas mask. First of all, make sure you get the right mask. Start with that. You need to get a mask that has a CBA RCA rating, which is chemical blowing, and riot control agents. And you need to make sure your mask has the NBC rating for nuclear, biological and chemical agents.

Make sure it's compatible with the 40 millimeter NATO threaded filter canisters. These tend to be the most popular and the most available canisters. Make sure that your filters are not expired and get extras because most need to be replaced basically about after 24 hours of Use and practice at home. Have fun with your family practicing at home. It's not as easy to use these gasps mess as the movies make it look. And why do you think that the military conducts training all the time because it's not that simple.

If you only have a couple seconds to react, you want to be well versed in what to do. Many people have actually died by putting on the mass incorrectly or not knowing how to use it right because of panic under stress. When you're practicing use the US canisters because the canisters of the filters are actually most of the value of the gas mask. Next, we will have Joe explain how to store and properly done the gas mask. Joe from well prepared we're here to tip today to show you how to use a Gas Mask. This is a military grade gas mask is actually Israeli version of the M 15, which is by the US military.

One of the most important things to remember when dealing with your gas mask is to keep it prepared. A big thing about being prepared is knowing how to use it practicing, but also having it stored properly so that you can quickly employ it and on your gas mask. The most important thing here is going to be that these straps are set so that they're not twisted and folded over. If they're twisted and folded over it can be really hard to put your gas mask on quickly if you need to add an emergency. So to store your gas mask, you'll simply flip all the straps backwards and store it in a nature like this so that you can easily put it on your face and then pull the strap over. It's really easy to do.

If you have it stored properly. You may want to have a clean shave. Big important thing is to have the least amount of facial hair that you can around the sides of your face and the bottom of your, your chin where the mask is going to seal onto your face. If you have too much hair, it can actually stop the seal from occurring, and then contaminants can get in through there. So try to keep a clip, close shave if you can, and keep your hair out of the way. I'm gonna demonstrate how to Don the gas mask, it was properly stored, it's really easy just to place the gas mask directly on your face.

You get a really good seal, you can actually feel it seal to your face, and then you'll reach over the top pull the strap down over your face. And that's it. The last step is to place your hand over the the bottom of the cartridge and blow out to make sure that you have a good seal and kind of move your face around make sure that there's no you know, like bent scan or anything folded up underneath it's later going to open up and let air come in. So go ahead and Don the gas mask, put it on my face flyover and then blow it to clear the mask.
