what do you guys think the best bartering items are

Probably cigarettes

Cheap, last forever, addictive as fuck

and booze maybe

fair enough, all the juul pod kids will be killing for it

Seriously

Sweets, you can buy bulk cheap bags then break them down into smaller piles for trading. Medicines too.

Probably less so but might be a good shout: Condoms, for a long term SHTF. Has other uses too.

What other uses do condoms have ?

Stores water, can be used for cleaning

@Mikiepie your a genius

Also in my city there was a unconfirmed case of coronavirus

And they have not released the results

When should I start wearing a mask

Now

I want to

But I'm afraid I will get kicked outta college

Carry it with you

Where did you find out about this case

It was on the nytimes

And there has been 0 updates about it

I think people have forgot

Bruh

Ok I looked it up again

They asked the college student in my city to self quarantine

Yeah mask time

I mean I would just not go in tbh

And state that there is a health risk

Why would they kick you out for wearing a mask so you don't get bat AIDS

Because no one does it

People got kicked out of planes for wearing gas masks

I can understand getting kicked off for wearing gas masks, especially on a plane

I would suggest calling up your college and saying that you are not coming in unless you have permission to wear a mask etc

dude the gasmask filters stuff bigger than 0.3 microns, most airborne viruses are way smaller than that

You'd need a p3 cartridge

the biggest problem with gas masks

is the filter compatibility

if you have a 40mm NATO gas mask or a soviet 40mm

i think there is a chinese army pipe extension

that allows you to use both

https://youtu.be/gVvW1d4fJ4I

Yeah Soviet 40mm are kind of fucky

Pretty sure they're also called GOST filters though I think I'm wrong there

I'd jump on a 40mm NATO mask over a GP5 but in reality I think both filters are going to be hard to come by if you're scavenging

yes

gost threading or 40mm nato

also

lemme refind you another tip i found online

https://gasmaskandrespirator.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:JeromeZP/How_to_convert_a_GP-5_to_40_mm_NATO_(works_with_every_40_mm_mask)

it may fuck up your threading

so you'll only be able to use nato

but uh

fuck it

its more common anyway

Yeah

but if you live in eastern europe

bunkers are filled with old GP5 filters

I think this should only be done if you have two GP5s and no NATO standard masks

i mean

just buy a PMK-1

Yeah

gost threading

but 2 entries

That's the best option

so you can use both

oh shit

yeah

one for nato one for regular

i wanted to buy one anyway

I have a lot of learning to do when it comes to specific masks

Were the older GOST filters an asbestos hazard

yep

all soviet filters

fugg

the most common ones you find on GP5's

the big green ones

big hazard

yeah

and the ones before

oh man

all filled with asbestos

and the ones after same

nato is much safer

I got pretty lucky

I forgot when I decided to buy a mask but it came with the filter

you never used it?

i mean

if you use it once

it should be good

I think I got it so I could fuck with it

except if you have a broken filter

that moved everywhere

LARP in the zone
