Former marines from Snoqualmie test COVID masking efficacy with bear spray

From a driveway in the Snoqualmie Valley, buddies Jeff Kissick and Gavin Pendleton – former U.S. Marines, now married with five school-age kids between them – were out to prove a point.

Part chemically-burned tongue-in-cheek and part serious, the men say their experiment was designed to show the relative efficacies of a military gas mask, a KN95 mask and the more common paper or cloth masks most students in Washington state use in school.

That’s why they staged their own scientific experiment complete with a military-grade gas mask, canopied tent and one can of honest-to-goodness bear spray.

Before videotaping their scientific trial, the men invited Dori Monson of KIRO Newsradio to be their guinea pig, er, uh, experiment participant. Dori – whose on-air reporting history includes volunteering to be tasered by the Washington State Patrol – politely declined their offer. However, he did invite the guys onto his Wednesday show to talk about how they decided to bear spray Pendleton three separate times – each time using a different masking method.

“Particulates in bear spray are larger than the particulates in the COVID-19 virus,” Pendleton explained to Dori and his listeners.

“Our theory is that if protective measures won’t block the pepper spray, it probably won’t block the corona virus – complete with documents attached,” Kissick concluded.

See the video results of the experiment conducted by Snoqualmie Valley buddies and former U.S. Marines Gavin Pendleton and Jeff Kissick here.

I don’t even have to watch the video to know the outcome of this one.

Why have zero politicians had the will to demand such an obvious and simple test?

It’s a rhetorical question but exposes the true state of the idiocy we’re experiencing within our governments. They aren’t representing the people.

It isn’t idiocy.

It’s evil.

Because the pols are loyal to Deep State.

And CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.

D’oh!

My older brother and I have had quite a history of practical jokes. A few involved Mace, pepper spray and one makeshift flame thrower.

The flame thrower was okay, but the bear spray... oh mama!

The mask mandates aren’t about protection, they’re about control.

The idiocy is to believe we don’t see it.

It is a cult.

Mask mandates need to be banned as it is a 1A violation. This is ABSOLUTELY recognition and promotion of a state sponsored religion.

Some of it’s ignorance. And Deep State, Big Ed, and compliant parents have done their job well. Two generations of scientific illiterates.

Some of it’s laziness. Dependence takes far less gumption.

And some of it’s fear. We’re no longer a republic. That one I can empathize with because that realization is freaking scary.

Here is a link to an excellent particle size comparison chart.

FOGGER’ TYPE PEPPER SPRAY PRODUCTS

Droplet sizes were measured over the range of 2 µm to 120 µm by phase Doppler interferometry at a distance from the canisters similar to that expected when the spray is used as a defensive weapon.

But all the Karens will say, the masks are to stop the infected wearer from spreading germs. Which begs the question, if masks don’t stop inhalation of the virus why would they stop exhalation? Is there a “magic barrier” when exhaled? If you think wearing a mask in a store or better yet outside is doing anything - you are stupid.

Theyre not accredited and licensed scientists!! Science requires years of study and certification to be properly practiced!

Not anyone can come up with a hypothesis and then just do some test and get results that they publish with the breakdown of what they did and the results they got so others can try to replicate what they did.

What they’re doing here is just pure misinformation!

After getting bronchitis several times, I wear 3M N95 (valved) in the garden when working with manure, guano or compost with animal products.

It definitely reduces the smell by 50-75%. My eyes never water and I stopped coughing like I often used to after handling these things unprotected. It can’t stop all particles but definitely enough where I haven’t coughed once from working with animal products in years.

I think the idea with these masks is to bring down particle counts where your body can more easily handle them. Not eliminate 100%. We are designed to handle some particles naturally and N95 is a compromise to the bulk/expense of a full respirator.

If you need nearly 100% for something very irritating like bear spray, of course a fully sealed respirator is needed.

I tell people that same thing about flatulence.

In the power plants when fitting a full face mask to us, they would use an artificial “smoke” that really stank! If any got through around the mask you would would smell and pull off the mask FAST to get some air.
We never tried it on paper masks only full face SCBA masks.

Using cigarette smoke is more effective and less likely to sting, besides there is already a video on YT of a guy blowing smoke through many different brands of mask

You are correct. It was very unscientific. They need to put a live bear in the tent at the same time with the marine. That’s the right way to test bear spray.
