Bladite, my wife & I just did this last week-end. A friend of mine just purchased 2 of the masks & extra filters, but then went a step further & had 2 of the portable oxygen tanks delivered to his home (3-4 hours I think). The area we live in has a better chance of industrial emergencies, but there are 3 targets in the event of a war that are within a 30 mile radius. I had never even thought about the gas masks, but thought I had the other 99% covered (food/water/clothing/commo/shelter/ & etc.). That's what I love about this forum, no matter how much you think you are ready, wait 5 minutes, you will learn something else . . .
Be safe.
scary stuff if you need it. less scary but nice if you don't.
there's probably 100 more things to think about and do in such conditions. including thoughts of being portable, secure, fire, water, beer, i mean drinking water...
when the **** hits the fan, i'd want super stout door locks too
ironically, people who put bars on the window, are often living in houses made of nothing more than particle board, faster to go THROUGH the wall
