[PSUBS-MAILIST] onboard gear

Sorry to make you type all that Cliff.  I was trying to be funny...looking for "breath through YOUR MOUTH" which is stated repeatedly in the video like the 800 number of a infomercial.  :) :)

 Hood has a mouth piece and valve connected to the mouthpiece.  Prior to ascent, with the hood on you put mouthpiece in your mouth and breath cabin air through the hood  with the open valve.  Just prior to escape, you inflate the buoyancy bladder on the hood, remove the mouthpiece and close the hood valve.  From this point until you surface, you breath air in the hood. Excess air on ascent is vented out hood. At surface if you want to keep the hood on, you put the mouth piece back in and open the hood valve and breath surface air.  If sea state is low, you unzip the hood and breath normally.
This topic is covered pretty well in training video.

 One question...what's the proper way to breath in that thing?

 If you have not had a chance to see this old US Navy training film on submarine escape, you might want enjoy this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffOJEJwWSbs
The training is on using the Steinke Hood.  I use this appliance on my boat.  Even though it is getting harder to find this hoods, they surface on Ebay periodically.
