i usually have a face mask on but it's mostly to keep the skeeters away from my face...when the skeeters aren't bad i really like the face paint...it's cooler (temperature wise) than face masks.....once i had to mix soda (didn't have water) and dirt cause i forgot my face mask and my paint...called in my first turkey that morning.
