Obviously the Ebola scare is the current topic, but if I wanted to get a respirator and chemical suit, are the Army surplus ones any good? I fully appreciate they were designed for the job and help protect soldiers, but they have now been supersedes wit better models and any spare canisters, even if sealed are most likely out of date.
Obviously, if we are talking about Ebola, decontamination is important, so the ability to easily do this for any kit I purchase is critical.
The S10 British Army respirator and the Canadian equivalent are readily available online, as are the replacement filters.
The British Army NBC suits are relatively cheap and of course have an advantage in some situations being camouflaged.
Or is their definite Opsec advantages in staying 'normal', going for off the shelf kit from Amazon for example to blend in with anybody else?
If it helps, I live on the edge of a small town, literally seconds down the road from both rural areas and major motorways and plan on staying put if at all possible.
Any thoughts, opinions gratefully received
