Episode Notes

I’ve spent most of the past two months researching police weaponry and how to stay safe while challenging state power. In this episode I discuss gas masks, respirators, goggles, and filters. My guest for this episode is Jack, my bandmate in the band Alsarath ( https://alsarath.bandcamp.com ).

Much of this information can also be found in the article A Demonstrator’s Guide to Gas Masks & Goggles, published by CrimethInc: https://crimethinc.com/2020/09/02/a-demonstrators-guide-to-gas-masks-and-goggles-everything-you-need-to-know-to-protect-your-eyes-and-lungs-from-gas-and-projectiles
