Go check out the masks and filters we used at www.avantlink.com/click.php?tool_type=cl&merchant_id=bf87b332-5dc3-4828-a78e-334a6e9c4c6a&website_id=0ca7f891-690f-4f81-a44f-42190b5d7c79&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirasafety.com%2F
cbrn is pronounced sea-burn.
oh shit, im that guy, my bad man. i didnt think about it before i posted.
Can you test the Sisu Max Mouthguard ? Those Things are quite comfortable cause those Mouthguards are very slim compared to usual Mouthguards, but I would like to hear your Opinion about that Product.
Just do like the Beverly hillbillys and kick the can back at them. Anyone seen that movie / tv series?
Awesome video as always, would you mind testing out blackjacks and saps in general? There's quite a lot to cover about them once you discovered them.
Getting the mask on chin first should possibly help with the beard issue, alternatively full head masks like the classic Russian gp-5 will probably help to get a good seal easily despite a beard for example. In general surplus military issue gasmasks should be about as good and are less expensive
It'd be so weird when you're out walking your dog and you find two dudes in the woods wearing gas masks tear gassing each other. This vid is probably as close as I'll get to that. Also I don't have a dog.
Well if you're in the woods here it isn't that weird.
@@hard2hurt sounds like something mark zuckerburg would say😂
@@hard2hurt
I'm guessing a dog would smell that amount of tear gas and pepper spray from a mile away and stay well clear.
@@hard2hurt yall should test the PepperBall VKS Launcher
Would be better finding 2 dudes in the woods doing drugs at that point
It's all coming together, all that's left is a crossbow, a tank, a trebuchet and I'm golden
Add a classic hand crank mini gun and it sold
@@DcalTEHboss33 Oh cool, I'm open to more ideas
LIGHT SABER
@@m.l.5230 That'll involve engineers but yes
Lmao! My Ninja 🥷
To be honest if someone throws a tear gas cannister into your house, you're already kinda screwed.
Lmao honestly
Nahhhh just blast em
Nah, I've watched enough Hollywood movies to know EXACTLY how to respond...
pfft... maybe YOU are... I'M READY!
Haha
A good way to test your seal before getting sprayed with anything is to cover the intake of the filter with your hand and suck a big breath in. If you have a good seal you should feel the mask suck into your face.
No really? Wow. No one here ever knew that.
@@clockandballtorturewithcra5010 Bad day?
Frank The Fetus I didn't :)
Thank you
Top tip, never ever have a hot shower after being exposed to CS, it kicks off again!
I learned that the hard way last night 🤬
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO IT
Yea so I’m just gonna lay around with pepper spray and tear gas all over me 🤦🏻♂️
@@jayschuff9857 walk outside as much as possible then cold shower! I was once unpacked my CBRN kit after reserve training in a house mates room and gave it a good shaking, got her good! 🤣
Yeah capsaicin is oil-soluble, use a “degreaser” type soap. Actually, it sticks like a tough grease... that feels like an open flame...
Reasons to expose yourself to radiation:
1) So many new subscribers
2) An extra arm or 2 would definitely help you slip through somebody's guard
I don't think that's how it works. I think any children I have after would get the extra arm and I'm all snipped up now.
@@hard2hurt nah man. Ive read enough comic books to know thats EXACTLY how it works.
No. That's not how radiation works.
@@clockandballtorturewithcra5010 Yes it is
@@hard2hurt Double hand choke.
All military personnel are having flashbacks of basic training right now.
Bro, the vomiting sensation is so fucking hard with CG its not even funny
CS****
We got zero exposure... I should have made jay put it on after exposure huh?
Flap your arms.
Yeah CS training in basic was funny but horrible at the same time lol.
When my Dad was undergoing training in the Royal Navy in the late 70's/early 80's, he remembers being locked in an exposure chamber with CS gas. It was a rite of passage in the Royal Navy. You had to attempt to navigate the chambers, only allowed to begin applying your gas mask as the room began to fill with CS gas. Dad remembers it being one of the worst experiences of his life, and still blames it for his lingering claustrophobic tendencies.
I guess he should've been prepared.
They do it still in every branch of the military. You go in with masks on, the room starts to fill up and you need to 1 by 1 take off the mask then you go outside and try to eat and drink. I've heard it's absolute hell the first time but you can build an resistance to CS gas over time
@@MrDylanm842 Ah really? That's interesting! Dad remembers it being claustrophobic, intense, sickening and oppressive. But he was in the chamber exposed to the CS gas for a considerable length of time - which probably wouldn't pass 'health and safety guidelines' these days ha-ha!
But as you say, with repeat exposure it definitely does get more bearable.
@@clockandballtorturewithcra5010 I mean, it was training and the explicit purpose was to be exposed to the CS gas, but thanks for the insight buddy 🤣🤣🤣
@@boxingwithben1510 yeah they do it to get you used to the feeling and make sure that if you re exposed to CS gas in combat for whatever reason you can still communicate and perform basic functions
This isn't something I was curious about until I saw this video uploaded
Say it a little louder for the sponsors in the back lol
I mean this is important because tear gas isn't exactly a discriminatory weapon, there's been multiple cases in the Portland area of the cops just tear gassing entire neighborhoods during protests. There was one case where they ended up managing to launch tear gas into daytime traffic, which ended about how you would expect having a bunch of people in cars suddenly unable to see. More people should have gas masks considering you could literally get tear gassed while in your home near a protest.
"Did you break my Dyson "? 🤣🤣
"no"
You know when I first saw this I thought , " Oh no , you've lost it, you've fallen into the deep end of the pool and we've lost you" but actually, after what s happened here in the last few years a good smoke filtering mask is actually a good idea. In 2017 we were evacuated because of forest fire, caused by people target shooting about 10 mile from our home. ( target shooting is the official word I'm thinking the broken glass, hot sun not so much the actual shooting ) Also not to far north of us an entire town was lost ( almost entire ) and many people had to drive out thru the fire . So really a mask of the type you are holding would not have hurt to have.
Regardless of political affiliations, we also saw tear gas used on civilians last year multiple times a day for several months as well. Like i said not trying to get into a debate on anything involving why, just pointing out that it did happen constantly.
@@DarthJacobi Tear gas is actually a particulate and the filter that Mike showed in the beging the one's that com in a 6 pack keep the CS crystals out. The filter for smoke is a reactor filter once you open the package the reaction starts and after 8 hours the filter is gone.
I went through the gas chamber in basic training, and "refresher" training after that. Military CS gas is not to be messed with. It's flammable, and is heavier than air, meaning that if you're hiding in a basement or other low place, you will die from asphyxiation if it doesn't burst into flame. It also causes your skin to burn, your eyes to tear up, and your snot locker to cut loose. Very unattractive. I've not been exposed to pepper spray, but if it's anything like ghost peppers, it's a walk in the park compared to CS.
Heads up: if you've had any issues with breathing (pneumonia, covid, etc..) you will still feel some painful effects even with a functioning mask and filter. Experience talking.
@@rallen7660 CS is harder to escape but easier to get of / recover from. Both suck right when you are exposed but OC lasts longer. (Source: Was OC:ed and CS:ed in the army, 10/10 you all should try it if you carry. You don't want to find out how it feels in the "moment". )
"We're not gonna go nuclear yet." That was the best phrase! xD
I read this as he said it 🤣🤣🤣
Jay is such a loyal test subject 😂
That would have been useful during all of the forrest fires near residential areas in California and Australia.
great news! the fires aren't going away and are probably getting worse!
No, this is a filter. It cant make oxygen..
In a fire or serious smoke this would not help at all..
You would need a oxygen mask or some form of rebreather for forest fires. You would just suffocate from the smoke with a gas mask.
@@jada1173depends on oxygen levels. I've been in lots of bushfire and will work fine, even a 3m will work fine. The professionals that I saw wore sundstrom s200 with p3 and multigas filters
Long bearded Icy Mike "We both have beards, so we can't make a proper seal so we're gonna get some of it"
*A Few Moments Later*
Short bearded Icy Mike "Okay let's test these"
Bingo lol. Jay didn't take it seriously. They worked well either way though.
@@hard2hurt for people with beards try putting vasoline around the edge, it’s supposed to make a better seal. When I was a volunteer fireman a neighboring department would allow beards and would tell their bearded firemen to put vasoline on their scba masks.
Just shave it, it's better gone , then there , when seriously wearing then I'd say
I have the CM6M, these things are awesome!
It’s really easy to check the seal, just cover the air intake before screwing the cartridge on. If it’s correctly sealed you won’t be able to breath in. It’ll feel like a suction cup is on your face.
OM-90*
imagine using a friggin tear gas grenade in your own house as a home defence...
An idea so stupid it might just work
A great delaying tactic as you're going out the window. But the carpets will never be the same...
yeah, imagine. everyone knows you'd use a frag grenade instead ;)
If you break into someone's house and they throw a tear gas grenade in your direction, I'd say you've broken into the wrong house.
In the process of replacing my gi with a space suit.
Man this brings back memories of my time in the army. Being trained in NBC tactics (54B), they stressed so much about being clean shaven, and how much facial hair affects the seal of the gas mask.
13:29 laughs maniacally while skipping away 😂😂😂
I was so happy to finally be doing one of these where we don't get hurt.
I remember when I went through chemical training. First was pepper spray, then an hour later, we walked through the tear gas which re-activated the pepper spray. Good times.
"Don't have my mask on. I know, I'll stand downwind from Jay while I unleash the pepper spray pellets." 🤣
I think this was intentional, anything for the channel and the continuity editing... If that's the correct term, might fall under directing.
Anyways, Mike's pretty smart and has mentioned being a fan of film and it's application in what he does. If you've been hit or seen people get hit with that ish before you'll notice the first/second instinct of most people is usually to get out of dodge.
One of the most important and often overlooked parts of a "kit". My 3M M40 was one of the first things I set money aside for back in the day. Great content as always! @hard2hurt
Icy Mike killing it out here. Thanks again brother for another great test video man!
8:45 note to self, do not stand downwind.
And if you do stand downwind, don’t just keep shooting while continuing to be downwind.
You guys understand how wind works sure... but you don't understand how UA-cam works lol.
theres 2 kinds of icey mike
bearded mike: silly,goofy,funny and has a flash light fetish
shaved mike: serious ,edgy and strict
Umm... i got pretty crazy at the end lol
Get back into your house to get your kids out 😂😂 . I don't know if that was a joke or not but that implies you left your kids in a burning building, left and whent "oh shit, I left my kids in there" that got me going
Are you familiar with how people behave during house fires?
@@hard2hurt well I get the panic and not thinking about anything other then getting out of there. I just found it funny how you used kid specifically as the after thought.
😄
@@hard2hurt they take their gas mask with them but leave their kids?
@@danielpustovoyt9726 ik that's what I'd do
6:32 Mike would make a awesome cast member for a real life action adaption of the borderlands games!
I would rescind my no tv rule to do that
Your humor and editing earned a subscribe from me even before I got into the info I wanted. Awesome video boys.
Best thing my dad left me with was this most useful quote. "It's better to have it but not need it, then to need it but not have it"🤙♥️be safe out there
Bought a CM-7M last year due to various concerns. I read Mira stuff was some of the best, thanks for testing the gear out as always!
I feel sorry for your wallet.
Their products will protect you, but they are severely overpriced. For example, the Mira CM-7M(which is just a Mira brand name for the Czech made OM-90 mask, which in turn is just a Czech copy of the British Avon S10) costs 275USD, while on eBay, an original OM-90 with it’s full kit, costs half that price. Both of these will protect you equally(if both forms a good seal). The only difference is one is very overpriced.
I’ve seen quite a number of people think Mira gas masks(professionals call gas masks “air purifying respirators” or APR) are manufactured in the US, and thus justifies the price. Unbeknownst to them, all of Mira’s APRs are made in the Czech Republic by a Czech company called “GuZu”
literally, the first videos ive seen on your channel. and now my favorite video ever lmfao
We need some “Did you break my dyson” T-shirts’
.50 caliber Dyson
I didn't know I needed one of these until this. Great video!!
ARE YOU READY?!
You guys are awesome! Your videos are hilarious and informative!
Hard2hurt has finally become
Martial arts myth busters 🤣
I like it
This is one of your most fun videos in a while, I'm crying laughing.
It was fun for us too... we were actually protected this time.
Seeing him react to the shots as they immediately come back to him is comedic
Regarding beards:
You can get surplus soviet gas masks that don't use the chin area to seal, they cover more of your face. there are many companies that still make compatible filters for the GP-5 and GP-7 and many other soviet gas masks, and a lot of companies sell adaptaers that allow you to use thier filters with soviet masks.
damn thats the best one yet, started with a video from you about throwing punches and now I am gas masks. beuatiful
this are some of your best videos👌
This is what I have been needing, for the last 2 years
Love the content man
I said´s one and said it again; and that´s why this is one of the best channels in youtube!! Cheers from Brazil!!
I remember my CBRN training in the british army, it was fantastic training and also brutal in the gas exposure stage with CS gas. Eating and drinking drills were funny to watch with 6 people in the room.
Last thing we had to do was respirator off deep breath in and state name, rank and army number before getting thrown outside ( I managed name and rank but was completely unable to breathe for number lol)
such a fun video! I'm a fan of these
Hey Mike, love the content. I messaged you on IG one time about fighting on stairs just posting to help algorithms, see if this is a better medium of communication, remind or bug ya.
It's been a pretty common string through unplanned fights that I've noticed and never seen a video on. I've personally been slammed on/down them a couple times and would rather avoid that again(though I think I know what to do now).
Many houses, atleast in the north or the ones I have lived aside from those in the artic circle, have two sets right behind the door, one up one down. Other locations you commonly find them where altercation are more likely include public parks, hiking trails, parking garages, schools, apartments, hotels, and venues(bars and clubs).
They are also a location where you can actually be very reasonably, or more likely to be forced to defend yourself. They are usually confined spaces(some parks have open concepts without a dangerous fall) where in which many of your options of retreat can also be dangerous. In the home(or apartment sometime you let people in or out through the fire escape) if you are trying to remove someone or you are answering your door to surprise force you can find yourself retreating, thrown or pushed backwards. In the multi-level house it causes you to quickly make a decision(or plan) do you attempt to go upward, dealing with a higher center of gravity, sharp edges and grappling difficulty or down causing more dangerous foot placement, instability, susceptibility to kicks, gravitational weigh disadvantage and a potentially dangerous fall but faster retreat, lower CoG.
My ideal video would discuss what you would prefer for different scenarios/skill sets, up, down, or to get side to side(which I had be effective once in a two-walled stairway), and any tricks to use to hold your ground (I guess dont be a pussy, wrestling and angles) or tips when that's not the case.
I guess this isn't exclusive to Mike, are their any tricks anyone has, advice, theories or quality videos on the subject?
Looks pretty handy, for ships, mines, highly toxic work environments, some medical fields, etc. Hope it gets more exposure.
That skip through the yard had me 🤣
"I didn't do all that"
Mike: "uuhh", I started laughing 😂😂
We were there bro!
This vid makes me happy that I bought a Mira safety mask. Also, subbed.
Really enjoyed the video. Educational and fun.
This video really teared me up! What a gas!
That is so funny watching you stand down wind, getting every byrna pepper ball cloud in your face
Hard2Hurt is becoming my favorite channel on UA-cam
Using vasoline on the edge of the masks, on the beard, helps create a seal
Not better then shaving it all off
So rad !!!
Mike, they make what's called a spray sock. You put it on under the respirator so your face hair doesn't mess with the seal. They cost like two dollars at any paint supply store.
But would that wick liquids under your mask? I don't know if I'd trust that in an NBC environment. I was thinking petroleum jelly might be a good choice?
Easiest seal test drill for these. Blow out hard shout gas gas gas to clear the speach diaphragm. Cover the filter with your palm and try to inhale. If you get any air at all it's a bad seal
thank you for showing it actually works
I remember getting hit with tear gas in boot camp when I was in the Navy; we KNEW it was gonna suck because even with the masks on you could feel that shit on your neck; unsurprisingly once we took the masks off all hell broke loose lol
When metro exodus becomes real life then you and jay will be the only one left standing
A man of culture
@@marcoarana2773 i played it 4 times😂
I just made a connection about why beards went of of fashion for a while and clean shaven was the thing. I think it happened during world war one when all the soldiers had to be ready to put on their gas masks so they had to remove their beards, and after the war clean shaven stuck as the trend.
Haven't even started this video and I'm grinning ear to ear
I spend a lot of time at protests and marches and whatnot. I use a 3M painter's respirator with normal filters and it works just fine. When I'm pulling someone out of a crowd though, the first thing I do is wrap a keffiyeh around their head (usually wetted) and that works better than expected, especially when you need the person to remain calm so you can rescue them.
ROFL! 😆 you guys are awesome. My word!
We tested this in the military by having tear gas in a container and then we went in and sat in the container for some time (can't remember how long) with gas masks. It was some diluted version but I remember having an exposed wrist and it started itching like crazy afterwards.
Time for the bear mace, fellas. Lol.
Great video!
Now to pick between the 6 and 7.
Great video! Those mask are solid, they worked well even though ya'll both have beards.
If you do more mask test and need a better fit, you can try and do what a lot of firefighters do and rub Vaseline over your beard and where the seal forms.
My buddy and I made a shitty video showing how to make your own masks, and testing them. Had to settle for using pepper gel to test, which isn't very high fidelity. We've been meaning to try them with something like pepper balls. I liked seeing how well the pepper balls effected Mike vs Jay, gives me more confidence in using those to test aerosols.
I'm not even half way through and I'm dying over here XD
8:10 Advice for future videos, break a twig with lot of leaves in it, spruce trees most ideal. You can use that to brush away most tear gas remnants from the mask and your clothes. Then do a quick 50 meter lap with the gasmask to brush off the rest. Or this is what we did in the army anyway, to prevent what you just experienced from happening.
Bro you are awesome, made me laugh. :D
haha... so informative and entertaining... i wonder how the clean-up went
Damn, I wanted to see your reaction after you took off the masks. You sprayed quite a bit of chemicals on your clothes.
The shower was the worst part.
some may call it being prepared/paranoid when buying gas masks, i personally enjoy just collecting different types of gas masks, both modern and vintage, to display alongside my other collections of vintage and modern items
A good way to check your seal on the mask is putting your hand over the filter intake and inhale to see if any air is leaking in.
I trained with LIVE VX in the Army/late 1980s... (CDTF - Chemical Decontamination Training Facility at Ft. McClellan, AL. No longer there). I now trust MIRA for my equipment. We called it NBC back then (nuclear/biological/chemical)...
This reminds me of the movie kickass, when the girl shoots the guy with a revolver to test out the bulletproof vest
shout out to the best camera man btw
This was probably their favorite gear test video cause it cause them the least amount of pain to do xD
Hmmm yeah mike your content is cool no radiation ☢️
i didn't know that about the particle max, thats a good future buy
Mike try to get the gun to work while choking on the back spray is hilarious.
Oh yeah it was soooooo hilarious...
@@hard2hurt 🤣😂
you can never be too prepared!!
Oh man..memories of me hearing "GAS GAS GAS" to signal get in full MOPP gear (Gas mask and protective suit) drills fast all night while waiting to deploy to Iraq from Kuwait..those sucked! But military style cannister masks with a good seal work! Especially against CS gas.
Now this is useful information.
Some WW1 land mines or WW2 anti-tank stuff and I think you covered everything in terms of home defense.
A clean shaven face isn't a huge deal when testing. You could do what some firefighters do and just take a glob of vaseline and rub it on your beard where the mask sits and you get a good seal. However, in a real scenario there's no way to say you have time to slap vaseline on your face but maybe who knows
Id really love to see you guys test some lighter clubs. Stuff thats more nimble than a baseball bat or hammer. Do they have the necessary force?
Cray cray 😜 dig it!!! Ty for ur service
Great video.
dId YoU bReAk My DySoN. One of mikes best lines
That one guy during COVID
To think, more than a few paid over $100 for a surgical mask...
"That one guy during COVID" is the updated version of, "This one time at band camp...."
I'm not sure if you know this. But your attempt in humor, is wasted.
@@user-mj7gm6gj9v No not really.
This is fantastic 😂
what is even better is multiple enough exposure to military grade tear gas (CS) to the point of being able to focus through the discomfort and complete your objective.. Tear gas and pepper spray suck, but they are only a deterrent and not a reliable form of control. once you can break the fear of exposure, you can become much more proficient with the deployment of the masks and other implements. kind of like how you have to get hit to learn not to fear being hit so you can get better at not getting hit.
13:29 I’m laughing my ass off at that joyful skip
I love this channel
