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.
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.
Yes, thanks a lot for the comment! I wish a did a better job with the sound back then, I couldn't imagine the video doing so well. For that matter, GP-5M bags have slightly larger pockets that fit the IPP-8 with less brute force. You can tell those apart with metal rings instead of fabric loops for the waist tie. As for the asbestos content, it is generally true, asbestos is present in the antiaerosol fabric. What most people don't know is that "asbestos" is a collective term for several types of fibers. The main two classifications, if I can use that term here, are amphibolic asbestos and chrysotilic asbestos. Amphibolic asbestos is the most common type extracted and used in Europe and the US. It is in fact a very dangerous cancerogenic agent due to the shape and size of microscopic fibers. It is very difficult to get it out of the lungs with things like coughing and such, so it accumulates in the lungs and systemically irritates the cells. That's what all the fuss is about. However, in the Soviet Union and Russia, only chrysotilic asbestos was/is widely used. The microscopic structure of its fibers is significantly different from the former, and they can leave the lungs with relative ease with natural reflexes, which makes the particles no more or less dangerous than dust or flour per se. Amphibolic asbestos was only used for industrial processes that required materials stable in conditions of extreme acidity and heat at the same time At the same time, it isn't a good idea to use old and expired filters for other reasons, especially if the were not stored properly, as they can get moldy and so on.
Amazing video, i really dig the structure. That's a subscription for you, mate! (Maybe turn the music's volume down a bit tho, it is hard to hear what you say)
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

I am not certain, but your best bet would probably be to look up a "soviet raincoat" and a "soviet army duffle bag" on eBay or a similar platform. However, beware that they could be ridiculously overpriced.
@@ProjectSparkPC Hey thanks for the response, i already found the bag, it's called Veshmeshok Backpack (Khaki) i found it for 10 euros so it's really cheap, while i still haven't found a good raincoat
@@iknees6056 Yes, that's the right bag. The design didn't change since WW2, although the colors can be different. The price is also adequate for Europe. Good luck with finding the raincoat!
It's a tarp raincoat from the late 80s or early 90s. I think its a civilian version. I do not remember how I got my hands on it, but they do occasionally go around on post soviet space.
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.
It was a bit over 1 year ago that i found one of those in a warehouse i was working in for school, little me did not know what asbestos was. I found out after wearing it and my lungs dont feal plesant. I consider buying one for myself since it cant get much worse from now, I might even use a normal filter this time.
Hello! For its time, the GP-5 was a pretty good gasmask. The fact that it used a helmet mask instead of a regular mask insured better protection of hair, ears, and skin of the face from different agents. The filter would provide adequate protection from common CBRN threats as long as the concentrations were not overwhelming. Modern masks are obviously safer and superior, but the GP-5 was by no means a bad one.
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.
Well, its something you can't just get over the counter, that's four sure. But it is possible. Most Post-Soviet states have a lot of abandoned or repurposed civil defense facilities which were originally stacked full of them. Hence why these crates are a pretty common find in the Russian internet segment or on local flea markets. But they are big and heavy, so shipping them over would be extremely expensive.
I see, as I said, your best bet is to find a way to reach out to sellers in Post-Soviet countries to get it shipped. A crate like that itself wouldn't cost much at all, but to ship it is a whole different story. I can only wish you good luck with your endeavor. I can tell you that some people actually did it before. I think there's a video on TH-cam or something like that.
man, i'm Polish, and i have a mc1 Polish/Czech gas mask, but i heard thing about asbestos in the filters. Is that true? are there like, dummy filters so i could cosplay STALKER and stuff without um..dying? lmao
Hey, thanks for commenting! We have a dedicated video on asbestos in Soviet filters on the cannel, I suggest you check it out. It will be more effective than me explaining everything here. We will also be revisiting the GP-5 in one of our upcoming vids, so you can keep an eye out for that. Have a good one!
That’s actually a dope question. I will make a video on that when I can. Basically, the mask can be cleaned with water easily. If you want to go in depth, you can disassemble facepices and clean them in parts, but that’s next level. After you wash it, you thoroughly dry it out. For preservation, a good method is to coat all the rubber parts with talc (plain baby-powder usually contains it and works fine). This applies especially if you’re not planning to wear it often. The facepiece should be kept ways out of direct sunlight or else it will change color, dry out and eventually start to crack even. Unfortunately that’s irreversible. As for the filter, make sure you don’t get water inside of it, that ruins it instantly. Clean it in a sealed state. Remember that if it’s damaged or worn out it’s a no go in terms of actually using it. If the bag is fine, I would suggest keeping it in the bag as well. But before you start messing around with the gas mask, do make sure that it’s just a GP-5, some very old and rare masks look like it and you wouldn’t want to ruin a several hundred dollar gas mask. This is as much as I can tell you in the comments section lol. But thanks for asking, hope this was helpful.
Dude! Where did you find that coat?! I just tried looking on ebay for a "hooded military trenchcoat" but couldn't find anything 😢 Edit: upon doing a Google image search it is found on ebay and such by searching with the following term: Soviet Vintage Men's Military Windproof Tarpaulin Hunter Raincoat Stalker Zone
@@ProjectSparkPC soviet gear is relatively new to me. Glad ive found your channel to watch!! Those coats I found ship from place of manufacturing which is cool!
Of course you should take it off lol, its a plug to keep the insides clean an protected when the gasmask is stored. I figured it was obvious as I myself unplugged everything in the video, my bad I guess. Also watch out for the filters you use. If it wasn't clean and sealed when you got it or if there are clear signs of extended use or damage you shouldn't use it. Have a good one!
If you use stanag filters on a gost mask you damage the female gost connecter and both the threads on the stanag filter. they're both 40mm but they have slight differences that means you cant get a seal and wouldnt be good for anything
Practically speaking, I did get a seal and I did not damage either. Ofcourse nobody is encouraging systematic use, they are just not designed to fit properly, but it will for sure work as a one time solution if you have nothing better. Where it might not work at all is with metal NATO filters, which I believe exist, or with a plastic GOST thread, because damaging a metal GOST thread... Good luck with that lol. Saying that it is outright not good for anything does not correspond with reality.
@@ProjectSparkPC the NATO filters don't seal properly which means there's 1 to 2% air getting in. If you're breathing in a toxic gas you're gonna be breathing in that 1 to 2 percent which you could die from
Indeed, but in case of plastic NATO filters on metal GOST threads a lot of time the thread of the filter will bend into the GOST step of thread given that enough force is applied. Which quite often provides proper seal. This has actaully been tested a few times on Soviet seal testing equipment. Sometimes stupid shit like this just works xD
Technically, a certain amount of asbestos is present in cardboard framing located in the anti-dust layer of the FPK. But there are 3 things about it. First, the asbestos only gets exposed if the filter is damaged by moisture and/or starts decaying. Second, it is located in the bottom of the filter, so you cannot really inhale much of it due to the active part of the filter being above it. And, third, it is a significantly less dangerous variation of asbestos than the kind that caused the fear of it in the west. Generally, would I recommend using these filters as intended? Definitely not if there is anything newer on hand. Prolonged exposure could be dangerous, you can never know what a specific 50 year old filter looks like from the inside. The ones in the video were stored well, so I am confident with them. I might as well do a video on this topic one day.
@@ProjectSparkPC i have a suggestion if you put a p3 particulate filter between the inhale valve and the filter it should block all the possible asbestos that might come through the filter
Possibly so, but its too much of a pain in the ass. People use Soviet filters just for looks for short periods of time, which I do not find dangerous. For prolonged use any sane man would get fresh modern filters.@@Hakurou6636
The best thing would be to get it brand new from the manufacturer. You could also strip any modern gasmask of a filter, it doesn't have to be a NATO one specifically. It should be better all around, but keep in mind that many older NATO filters could also have asbestos and maybe even the actually dangerous variation of it.
To be honest with you, they are probably not easy to find as originals. They are educational posters about the AKM assault rifle printed by some local library or typography.
Well, there is nothing cheaper than original Soviet filters, which you inherently discard. It depends on the purpose. If you are looking for a functional gasmask, then you might want to consider modern western options, or modern Russian gasmasks, with their respective filters. If you want to screw something non original onto the ShM-62 mask for whatever reason, you could probably find some cheap anti-dust filter in Walmart or something.
@@ProjectSparkPC I forgot to mention I live on thiny tiny Portugal so I can't find many Russian filters online What do you say about an ms-4 filter from Etsy Are they to old to be used?
MS-4 is a Warsaw Pact gasmask, its filters probably used similar or same materials to Soviet ones. If you fear asbestos, there is pretty much nothing you would want to use besides modern equipment. Again, if you are looking for a functional gasmask, you might want to look at modern Portuguese standard issue models.
@@ProjectSparkPC I wanted the gp-5 more as a history thing but I also wanted a working filter to use in case something where a gas mask would be needed the gp-5 could be, everywhere I search it says the ms-4 is a non asbestos filter, and it was tested by lab, so on the asbestos I am safe the thing I am more concerned is if the expiration date really could be harmful for me if it is expired, also do you think Etsy is a good place to buy it from (it's the one with the most option)
@@ProjectSparkPC also I have been looking around and some people recommend an adapter from GOST to NATO, what do you say to good to be true or is it an actual solution
The asbestos is a risk but if you don't really care about your health then that's fine cause the asbestos is probably in little use of it considering the Soviets like to make stuff simple but effective
If it is a GP-5 it definitely does need to cover your ears. You can pool up a size chart and compare that to the size stamps on your mask. Unless it’s a GP-5M which specifically has earholes in it or something completely different, it should cover your head entirely.
nato filters might screw in but probably won't make a seal. To test this put your hand over the hole in the filter and inhale. Do this before the filter as well to make sure the mask doesn't leak either. Also you will probably wreck the threads on the nato filter...
I think it highly depends on the specific filter, I doubt that all manufacturers have absolutely identical threads and materials. The filter I used in the video was from a Ukrainian copy of the Finnish OF-90, and it did make good seal. Probably because the filter thread was plastic and could bend in a bit to fit the mask thread.
@@ProjectSparkPC There is no Finn OF-90, Ochranný Filtr 90 is the filter of Czech OM-90 mask, copy of which is in use in Ukraine. The mask itself has it's origins in British Avon S10 mask. As for the threads, all STANAG filters should be the same thread exactly, hence the standard. The materials may of course vary.
@@juhokuusisto9339 Thank you very much for the correction about the gasmask, it seems as though I mixed up information on several different things. Again I am not very educated on western CBRN gear, so this is very welcome.
I have one of these gas masks! But i don’t know if it’s real but i got that pouch plus filter that was attached to the mask when i bought it! But i need to know if its real and it’s got a funny story to it if ya wanna know i’ll tell ya
@@ProjectSparkPC it doesnt reduce or improve airflow, its a good way to make the gp5 useful for emergency preparedness, although it doesnt screw in all the way but it doesnt fall out on its own which is nice
Three things. First, the asbestos used in Soviet cardboard found in these filters is a lot less dangerous than the kind that caused the whole asbestos fear thing in the US. The fiber structure is different. Second, the asbestos containing material is located in the very bottom of the filter, therefore it cannot get into your respiratory system through all the other layers. And third, the asbestos can only get exposed from the material if it gets wet, starts to decay, or gets otherwise structurally damaged.

Possibly so, but its too much of a pain in the ass. People use Soviet filters just for looks for short periods of time, which I do not find dangerous. For prolonged use any sane man would get fresh modern filters.@@Hakurou6636
Were did you get the lantern
Where can i get the nato filter? And is it abestos free?
The best thing would be to get it brand new from the manufacturer. You could also strip any modern gasmask of a filter, it doesn't have to be a NATO one specifically. It should be better all around, but keep in mind that many older NATO filters could also have asbestos and maybe even the actually dangerous variation of it.
Loved the video,
But the audio is a little quite
where did you get that jacket, i need one for myself
Local flee market. Its just a Soviet made raincoat, you can try looking for it on eBay.
@@ProjectSparkPC i tried looking for one but i couldn't find it in the same color as yours, which i really like
@@yzhhzdf Mine is just worn out I think. At least its washed out for sure, so its technically discolored.
@@ProjectSparkPC ah alright, well i'll keep looking, but also good video
Please Can I use your photo to my power point presentation? Plese answer quick. thank you
You are welcome to use it
@@ProjectSparkPC Thank you very much!👍
what are /ware can i fet the posters behind you on the wall
To be honest with you, they are probably not easy to find as originals. They are educational posters about the AKM assault rifle printed by some local library or typography.
Can you make a video of the pmg2 please and thank you
I sure will, as soon as I get the videos I am working on atm out
What cheap filter do you recommend for the gp-5
me no likey asbestos
Well, there is nothing cheaper than original Soviet filters, which you inherently discard. It depends on the purpose. If you are looking for a functional gasmask, then you might want to consider modern western options, or modern Russian gasmasks, with their respective filters. If you want to screw something non original onto the ShM-62 mask for whatever reason, you could probably find some cheap anti-dust filter in Walmart or something.
@@ProjectSparkPC I forgot to mention I live on thiny tiny Portugal so I can't find many Russian filters online
What do you say about an ms-4 filter from Etsy
Are they to old to be used?
MS-4 is a Warsaw Pact gasmask, its filters probably used similar or same materials to Soviet ones. If you fear asbestos, there is pretty much nothing you would want to use besides modern equipment. Again, if you are looking for a functional gasmask, you might want to look at modern Portuguese standard issue models.
@@ProjectSparkPC I wanted the gp-5 more as a history thing but I also wanted a working filter to use in case something where a gas mask would be needed the gp-5 could be, everywhere I search it says the ms-4 is a non asbestos filter, and it was tested by lab, so on the asbestos I am safe the thing I am more concerned is if the expiration date really could be harmful for me if it is expired, also do you think Etsy is a good place to buy it from (it's the one with the most option)
@@ProjectSparkPC also I have been looking around and some people recommend an adapter from GOST to NATO, what do you say to good to be true or is it an actual solution
" In Soviet Russia Gas mask wears yyyou!"
The asbestos is a risk but if you don't really care about your health then that's fine cause the asbestos is probably in little use of it considering the Soviets like to make stuff simple but effective
We have a dedicated video on asbestos in Soviet filters and why we are comfortable with wearing them, you can check it out.
Does it need to cover my ears or not just bought one and it will barely cover them but still fits is that a problem
If it is a GP-5 it definitely does need to cover your ears. You can pool up a size chart and compare that to the size stamps on your mask. Unless it’s a GP-5M which specifically has earholes in it or something completely different, it should cover your head entirely.
@project spark do you have a 3D printer
Unfortunately not, why do you ask?
@@ProjectSparkPC because I have field that allow you to 3D print Soviet filters
How many gas masks do you have comrade
A substantial amount. Both military and civilian models from the Cold War period. As well as a few modern models.
nato filters might screw in but probably won't make a seal. To test this put your hand over the hole in the filter and inhale. Do this before the filter as well to make sure the mask doesn't leak either. Also you will probably wreck the threads on the nato filter...
I think it highly depends on the specific filter, I doubt that all manufacturers have absolutely identical threads and materials. The filter I used in the video was from a Ukrainian copy of the Finnish OF-90, and it did make good seal. Probably because the filter thread was plastic and could bend in a bit to fit the mask thread.
@@ProjectSparkPC There is no Finn OF-90, Ochranný Filtr 90 is the filter of Czech OM-90 mask, copy of which is in use in Ukraine. The mask itself has it's origins in British Avon S10 mask. As for the threads, all STANAG filters should be the same thread exactly, hence the standard. The materials may of course vary.
@@juhokuusisto9339 Thank you very much for the correction about the gasmask, it seems as though I mixed up information on several different things. Again I am not very educated on western CBRN gear, so this is very welcome.
@@ProjectSparkPC No problem, I'm glad to help.
I have one of these gas masks! But i don’t know if it’s real but i got that pouch plus filter that was attached to the mask when i bought it! But i need to know if its real and it’s got a funny story to it if ya wanna know i’ll tell ya
It is most likely real, I have never seen reproductions of these. You can tell by the stamps and markings.
@@ProjectSparkPC yes there are markings similar on the mask and filter but i bought it off a street vendor who got arrested like 2 hours later so lol
My I ask what that brown coat is called in the beginning is I could buy it
It’s just a Soviet made raincoat, I don’t think it has a specific name or article.
@@ProjectSparkPC 👍
Greetings! This looks like a Soviet “cloak-tent” made of tarpaulin (it costs about $5-15 in the post-Soviet space)
Bread 🍞
can anyone one send a link for an asbestos free filter?
Pretty much any modern gasmask filter is free of asbestos, anything that is currently in production would work for you

What a real stalker 😢
Oh, the old soviet troubleshooting: just apply the required amount of force.
Don't forget about blue electrical tape! Its either force or tape depending on the purpose.
Our government doesn’t issue any bio protection- exception jabs. Hell we don’t even have civilian bunkers 😢

will a gp5 protect me from asbestos???
The asbestos is in The lower particulate layer of the filter so you should be fine... Probably?
In Soviet Russia asbestos inhales you
My gb5 is from 1977
But the mask with out the old filter is safe
Yes.
The filter you weared in the 1 Scene contain asbestos..
Yes, Soviet produced chrysotile asbestos, which is not dangerous in low concentrations.
if you apply sheer force of... I said sheer force of. *crank бэляеть
cool vid but the gp5 filters have asbestos.
I don't have money 😢😢
I found that you can make a seal with 40mm nato filters if you put a rubber 40mm washer into the inhale valve
Interesting to know, does it have an effect on the air flow?
@@ProjectSparkPC it doesnt reduce or improve airflow, its a good way to make the gp5 useful for emergency preparedness, although it doesnt screw in all the way but it doesnt fall out on its own which is nice
Mmmm azbest
Hahahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why don’t you just get a ABEK filter that’s in date? GP-5 are so out dated
Because I was reviewing the GP-5 gasmask as it comes from the crate. What would be the point of showing a non original filter?
Get out of here Stalker
Yes and your wearing a gas mask with an asbestos filter, not like anyone in Russia gives a shit. 😂
The asbestos thing is partly a misconception, I answered a question about it a few comments above.
@@ProjectSparkPC cannot find, it but what do you mean?
Three things. First, the asbestos used in Soviet cardboard found in these filters is a lot less dangerous than the kind that caused the whole asbestos fear thing in the US. The fiber structure is different. Second, the asbestos containing material is located in the very bottom of the filter, therefore it cannot get into your respiratory system through all the other layers. And third, the asbestos can only get exposed from the material if it gets wet, starts to decay, or gets otherwise structurally damaged.
