   I've been putting off going into town for as long as I can, but we're out of fuel for the chainsaw, and without it we freeze. It's nearly three months since I last had to go to town. The next chainsaw I buy will likely be electric.

   Fortunately my new Flo Mask arrived yesterday, so I'll get to try that out.

     I really want to try these. I don't mind other masks for everyday situations, but I thought this might be better for long-term, high-risk situations like travel.

     Wore the mask for nearly an hour in the tracteur to drive into town and no real problems. I only really needed to wear it once there, but I wanted to see how it would be for a longer stint, and while driving.

     Probably needs a slight adjustment but not much, as my nose started to touch the filter towards the end, but seal remained good.

     I thought I'd be self-conscious wearing it, but that was overridden by feeling so much more secure in a decent mask.

     No problems conversing in it.

     A lot of the disposable N95/FFP3 masks split at the bottom due to my enormous chin. This clamps just below the bottom lip.

     Test fit of the Flo Mask. It's perfect. The first truly comfortable mask I've tried. The seal is excellent, even with my beard.
