I totaly agree with you on this one Skean, I carry an army issue gas mask as a form of protection against airborne viruses and also to help me get through smoke/ tear gas etc. The gas mask is part of my BOB, which I keep in my everyday vehicle.
If I was close enough to witness a mushroom cloud in all its beautiful glory then I know my days would be numbered and I'd skip to the top of my 'to do' list.

I get what you're both saying. The gas mask is on my to buy list. But I've got a few surgical style micro-filter masks that brickies and the alike wear. They will have to do for now.

With the mushroom cloud thing, I'd just have to move away. There would be no point sticking around to get hit by radiation. But with a cold/virus/disease, you could already be infected before you get your mask on. That's what I'm freaked about.
