Dude. I LOVE these post apocalyptic soviet vibe review videos. Keep up the amazing work!

Real quality video I got to say, was honestly surprised when I saw that you only have 142 subscribers. You definitely deserve more!

Fallout is cool and all, but nothing ever quite compares to the Soviet and early post-fall aesthetics of their equipment in fictional apocalyptic scenarios, such a quality drip.

I have a couple of these GP-5 bags and the side pockets are also great for multitools, adhesives or any other small medical equipment.
Also the bag itself can be used as a canteen with w 1.25L bottle of water and some snacks for a short hiking trip.

Very good video! this is the best video I have seen so far about the GP-5 kit in English!

I have been collecting gas masks for 10 years now and my favorite was always Soviet made gas masks, collectors are quick to dismiss the GP-5 and they most of the time have no idea about these details about the GP-5 kit.

10 years ago I tried to research Soviet gas mask kits and write the information in English for everyone to understand since there is a big lack of information about them in English and gas mask wikia sadly doesn't do it justice either.

So, a quick side note: earlier made GP-5 kits made in 60s and early 70s were supposed to have IPP-51 decontamination kit, instead of IPP-8. Due to the size of the IPP-5 kit being smaller than IPP-8 the side pockets of the earlier GP-5 carry bags were smaller. This is just a small and an interesting detail.

Also, it is very important to remember, that the GP-5 filters do contain asbestos and no matter what people say that after some year USSR stopped putting asbestos in the filters is a lie, they never did and sadly today Russian PMK-3 filters also contain asbestos.

Great review and nice drawing of the inside of the GP5 filter. Please make more of these videos!

I wouldn't recommend forcing NATO filters on unless absolutely necessary. Though 40mm, its a different threading that can ruin the recieving threading on the mask. Once stretched or altered may not provide adequate seal once stretched.

One of the best put together video's I've seen in a long while👏

Really good, you can make videos about all the uniforms of a Soviet soldier, plz)

Thats a sweet coat. It looks like what we call a duster in the states, but with a hood. Nice deep hood is perfect for covering mask and filter. good stalker, yes

[mrsandywilly]

Привет товарищ! Очень приятное видео. Надеюсь, что ваш канал будет выращивать. Подписался!

[ashleytheraccoon]

Very good video, I've been wondering what those side pockets on the gas mask carrier bag were for the longest time

[Man-dfzh]

Real sick. Could we get one on the PMG or PBF if you're able?
