Why did gas masks have hoses? 

When I was still on tanks, our M40 gas masks came with long tubes to attach to each crew compartment in the tank. The tank had its own NBC filtration system so you could use that instead of a canister. Typically the commander and loader would use canisters to allow for easier movement and to be able to easily get out of the tank if needed. The gunner and driver would connect to the vehicle system. Best part was, the NBC system on the tank would naturally make the air cold after the filtering process. So we would take the hoses and shove them into the crotch of our coveralls to blow cold air on our jimmies while operating during the summer. Contrary to popular belief, the M1A1 does not have air conditioning. The M1A2 does, however it rarely ever works.

I love hose gas masks.

*A S B E S T O S N O G O O D !*

Awesome video mate. Just ordered 2 GP-5 masks and have also bought 2 of the Chinese standardised hoses so I can use NATO filters with them. Cheap and better than nothing.

Ah asbestos the world's all in one product

*Do I smell radiation?*

Best channel ever

7:29 snork starter kit. Just cut the hose in half.

Could you do a video about the gas masks used by the chernobyl liquidators

That’s so cool! I never knew the hoses attached to filters. I just assumed they attached to oxygen tanks as a kid.

At 12:20 you actually looked pretty funny moving your head around with the big filter, it made me laugh, either way great video.

He is so knowledgeable I enjoyed it.

Do you know which gas mask is shown in the metro last light cover?

“its soaked in a chemical, i dont know the name” “piss” “its not piss as people keep saying” “👁👄👁 he heard me”

I SMEEL ATOMS

I asked for a video like this, great video

Good video thanks! Also you are one of the smartest person I know for weapons and gas masks

I was kind of waiting for a video on hoses. Nice!

Are there any masks you find easier to use with a hose than without?

Yes this is the video I suggested thank you so much :)

thanks to this video i just realized that the $20 gas mask some friends got me from the flea market is not a "crappy old gas mask" but a corrected EBR

Weaponsandstuff93 I would love to see a video on the kinds of masks used at Chernobyl

It's quite funny how, in the video's description, this goes under how-to and style! Of all things, style!

Your videos help thanks 🙏

Respect man. I love your knowledge on this and your accent makes me that much more interested. So I just ordered myself a gp5 with a carry case and an activated charcoal filter all for around $40 US. I probably could have found it cheaper but I want it now lol. Just wondering, how do you spell the name of the newer 40mm filters you said would fit it. Is it stag? I’m trying to order a bunch of filters for it. Thanks man

Basically every task soldier needs to do suddenly becomes easier if you have a hose attached filter (or theoretically even cheek filter, but from that arises one new problem): your head is not weighed down by filter, filter does not get in a way of aiming, filter does not get in a way of crawling (even side-attached filters don't solve that 100%) and you can last longer in hostile environment.

Very interesting video, good job 😊

It's as-best-as you get in Matka Rosseya!

Nice video, good job

With an old GSR MK V or MK IV is there a way to take the filter off and clean the hose? If so what would you recommend to clean the inside of the hose with?

I was wondering if you were to cut open an expired/used filter and put in new activated charcoal and duct tape it back up if it would protect you from aerosols. It would be a neat testing video and I bet you have plenty of expired/used filters laying around. Thanks.

where could one get a replicated gas hood? or what do i search on ebay if you search ph gas hood it will not come up.

The early Gas Masks were cloth handkerchiefs coated in urine but soon the real gas masks were the type that you have shown which was coated in Bicarbonate of Soda an Alkaline solution to counteract the Acid in the Gases used. Hope that this is helpful

It makes it easier to cosplay as a pachyderm

Interestingly before the EBR or SBR (Small Box Respirator) there was the LBR (Large Box Respirator) which used the British Army enamel water bottle as the basis for the filter tower.

How do you get a hose of a gas mask cause I got a polish MC-1 gas mask with a hose

immagine a filter that is as big as a backpack and it can basically last for like a week

my dad`s a cop and we live in Bulgaria.We use this gas mask with this A S B E S T O S filter.

I don't recall if I've asked before, and I'm sure you've said it before, but where did you get your PH gas hood replica?

how do you deal with rust residue in old hoses because I've been having trouble with it

So cool

yep i wondering about this too thanks for telling!

There are no army surplus stores in my area what do I do?

after watching trough some of your vids i decided to subscribe :) also can you maybe do another test with the riot shield/helmet?

With some masks it's a lot easier to get a cheek weld on a rifle when you have a tube to a filter as opposed to a big clunking filter on your cheek...that's why the m40 has two filter ports, so you can put it on the opposite side of your rifle, but if you only have one port, a hose may be a good fix

Can you do yugoslavian gas masks review from like the 60s till the 90s, if the yugoslavian filters contained asbestos?

Have you heard anything about the Soviet Gp5 hoses being coated in toxic chemicals and unsafe to breath through? I read a comment mentioning that and can’t find any other information regarding it.

My favorite is the sbr gas mask

Great thumbnail

Where did you get the PH gas hood?

I have the mk 5, but because i was gonna use it for halloween, me and my dad removed the filter via cutting the tiny metal "rod" at the end of the hose and then washed the mask itself. It looks brand new, besides the eyes.

you are the first one i ever heard talking about asbestos so thank you, i have some old west german filters from the 80, do you think they got asbestos? the video is good.

If I buy a gas mask gp5 and it comes with a filter should I throw the filter in the garbage? Is it unsafe to keep in your room?

would I benefit from adding a hose to a gas mask before adding my filter ?

they look cool

can you please send me the link for the ph hood

Could you talk about experimental masks? Been seeing some on forums but don't remember the names, I remember them being American and Russian though.

So is thr GP5 gask mas safe to use? Does the filter may contain asbestos?

The automatic reaction to having to wear a gas mask is making Darth Vader breath noises.

I actually recently bought the white russain one you showed and it comes in 2 weeks

Will you get abestos from the hose GP4 with no filter

From a financial and even survival point if view the big filters with hose make a lot more sense. I could imagine a huge canister like that would last a very long time as opposed to the little overpriced filters we get these days.

are there modern filters that can attach to hoses of older soviet masks, i prefer the look of older masks with hoses but obviously want a safe to use mask-air filters maybe?

Just curious, why did you tape up the filter on the old gsr?

Does hose on a mask increase breathe resistance?

How do you find topics for daily issue ?! :D

Russian manufacturers still do bigger filters with hoses. The protection time with them is 2-3 longer of course.

Wow sooooooooooo sooooooooo COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I feel like if the world ends this guy will be the only on left

Any models of gas masks you recommend

Weaponsandstuff93 what do you think is the best gas mask for a beginer

Cheeky breeky

Does the rubber hose contain asbestos in it, I ordered a gp5 Soviet gas mask and I’m worried that the rubber hose will have some asbestos in it, I will be unscrewing the filter

Is it safe to put on a gp-5 mask with a new filter with no asbestos Pls help

Do the hoses themselves contain harmful materials or contaminates? I mean the original GP-5 hoses.

If I remember right a soldier using piss to fight gas is true but they just pissed onto a piece of cloth as a very makeshift mask.

Have you heard of Zimmer and Kummant? (And their gas mask)

Can you find gp5 variants for NATO filters?

I have a question. Can I use an Israeli 40mm hose to connect a Soviet mask to a NATO filter? Or is it impossible?

Will talc do any harm?

There are replica ww1 SBRs on a website called soldier of fortune it’s also English I so I can’t buy 😰 or can I? Please I would appreciate feedback

Radiation don’t fear gas mask man is hear lol

Whare do you buy your gas masks

Gas masks with hoses Look creepier

Hey, quick question, what sweatshirt is that? Looks military-ish, maybe British?

Where did you get that sweater?

also i posess an om14 mask and i got it in kind of a tourist shop in poland in ithink gdańsk or gdynia idk

because of heavy ass filters that would be better strapped to your belt or smin?

A S B E S T O S N O GOOD!

I have a m59 gas mask

I gave most of you all in the comments a thumbs up! 😃☺👍👍👍👍

Can some one link me to some good 40mm nbc filters

English Box Respirators make people look like moths.

how many gas masks do you have?

I’m getting the fact that almost all modern masks have the 40mm fittings. Can I use a Israel mask with a Russian hose if needed?

Can you put a hose on any gas mask

What shirt are you wearing?

Why do gas masks have hoses : Bf : puts gas mask on Me : puts hose in my ass & farts 🥵💨💩
