Actually the PMG is the cheapest (military) gas mask I’ve been able to find at 25 bucks (although I’m going to spend an extra 20 for a full NBC suit 'cause why the hell not). I’d actually be spending more for the chance of cancer anyway.
Although if it were a WW2 German mask or something similar I’d jump on it if it were cheaper.
On topic another thing i learned from Cataclysm is that if i find any strange liquid on a dead scientist’s person or in a lab of some kind, i should drink it.[/quote]
Personally I’ve purchased a number of PBF masks and EO-19 filters, PMK and GP-5s and 40mm filters for these, both for me and for friends. On the 40mm at least, it’ll say the time of manufacture on it; generally anything after the really early 60s I’d trust since post-war asbestos filter manufacturing stopped.
Note: I am not responsible for asbestos inhalation due to following my instruction.
And on topic:
The four most important classes of items in the apocalypse in order of importance are: Food, Drink, Weapon and ALL OF THE BOOKS. Because nothing says survivor like an egghead with a Computer Technician’s Manual.
