Definitely thinking of getting one of these..what is the difference between the two sold on Forge Survival Supply though? I see that the updated one is heavier and mentions a "Thermo-Lite" material, but I'm just wondering how much different it is than the original and if it's the only difference between the two. Thanks!

I'm seeing a lot of positive notes about the Fubar, definitely going to look into that more. One quick note I'd make about duct tape though, always buy a brand you have used and trust. Some of the ones online at various survival stores claim to be "super heavy duty" and say things like "tactical strength", when most of them are crap, quite frankly. I bought a roll of cheap duct tape online once and it was probably the worst duct tape I've ever used. Great post and awesome comments on this page too!

P.S.
Try to stock up on vitamins also, a multi-vitamin is great for anyone (vegan or not) as we most likely won't be getting as much nutrition as usual and will be under stress. From my own research I would highly suggest extra vitamin C and D. Studies have shown that many people (omnivores, vegetarians and vegans), especially up north where I am, are vitamin D deficient and don't get enough from their diet or sunlight, and low D levels have been linked to all sorts of bad stuff. Plus, if the SHTF scenario is a nuclear disaster and we're bugging in some place, we definitely will not be getting the vitamin D we need. veganhealth [dot] org and naturalnews [dot] com are good sites for more info on this.

I've been vegan for 4.5 years now and got into prepping nearly a year ago and it can be tough to find processed survival foods that are vegan, but I think the best thing for anyone is to really try to store what you eat/eat what you store. I definitely agree, peanut butter, beans, rice are super important to stock up on, as well as pasta. There are even some good vegan mac cheese alternatives (check out Roads End Organics in Vermont). They're all vegan which is also good for anyone that has any dairy allergies (and many are nut and soy free too).

Just picked up a 100-pack of Melitta filters for about 3 bucks from the store, talk about a cheap and light thing that could really be useful!

41.) That fancy new sitdown lawnmower you bought instead of that generator isn't looking like such a good idea now.
