It's amazing what people will come up with given a bit of time.
you might as well pull off your under pants, wad them up and breath through them! Any gas that your rig will stop won't hurt you!
Not sure I would want to breathe through my underpants… :)
Fun fact, since we're talking about breathing through underpants: In WWI, soldiers often wrapped urine soaked rags around their heads when it was discovered that breathing through those could negate the effects of chlorine gas. So breathing through your underpants Could be effective. But only if you wet your pants first.
The ammonia in the urine actually forms dichloramine, a more lethal gas than chlorine gas. So really it would kill them faster, and if used against tear gas it really wouldn't help anymore than regular underpants.
