Air Quality ... Personal ... SHTF ...Wildfires ...
The ongoing numerous Wildfires Burning through out our Pacific Northwest made us recheck then reconsider our air quality preparations. We found them very lacking. While our Baby Suzuki Jeeps have oversize air cleaners both for the engine and A/C, our lungs are very non protected.
The NBC gas masks are now inside the Bug Out Bags. They were not before. We did not then perceive any real need with our prepps. Wrong. Our air outside right now in the Illinois Valley SW OR is very poor. Very poor. Even affecting healthy individuals. The usual smoke symptoms.
Back in about 2001 during the Biscuit/Florence fire the smoke here got extremely thick a couple of nights. I tried sleeping wearing a NBC gas mask with a fresh NBC filter. Could not. Too much effort forcing air through the element. We need to get some effective low resistance breathing filters
Any ideas, recommendations or experiences?
