Magazine: The Cheapskate's John Spiral - Chemical Warfare is a recipe magazine about smoke and breathing gear. It pairs a homemade smoke bomb with the means to make and refresh gas mask filters.
Reading it teaches four recipes. Make Smoke Bomb, Make Gas Mask Filter, Make Improvised Gas Mask and Recharge Filters all deal with smoke, gas and clean air.
The magazine turns up mostly in electronics stores and army surplus stores. Homes hold it now and then.
Uses
All four recipes are open at any skill level. That makes the magazine useful to any survivor from the first day.
Make Smoke Bomb is the simplest. It takes a Cold Pack, a Rag or Rag (Dirty) and two newspapers. The result is a Smoke Bomb.
Make Improvised Gas Mask takes two Duct Tape, a Rag and an Orange Soda, Bottle or Water Bottle. Scissors or a sharp knife are kept. The result is an Improvised Gas Mask.
Make Gas Mask Filter takes an empty can, a Sponge, charcoal, a Rag, glue and tape. A saw or metal snips, pliers and a mortar and pestle are kept. The result is a Gas Mask Filter - Crafted.
Recharge Filters uses the same Sponge, charcoal, Rag, glue and tape on a spent filter. It works on gas mask filters and respirator filters alike.
The Smoke Bomb also feeds into Add Remote Trigger to Bomb from Magazine: Zapper!, which makes a Remote Smoke Bomb. Make Gas Mask Filter and Recharge Filters are also taught by Magazine: No Man's Land.
Reading the magazine also eases boredom and stress. A read copy still has a use as padding. Make Magazine Body Armor and Make Magazine Limb Armor accept any magazine as crude armour.
