I've looked at the jotul 602 as a dual use stove and heater they claim it's rv ready...

Just buy bottled water. drink some of it and buy more. Buy water that comes in a good bottle so you can use the bottle over and over again. Buy canned food you like to eat and eat it once in a while then buy more. Power bars and granola bars are also good foods to keep on hand. Also having cash is key in an emergency situation. Having a jar full of change is a good start.

Looks heavy, myself Im looking to use a gasification stove (SoloStove youtube.com/watch?v=ZqOhi7NiNBQ) inside a computer case which will also ignite a set of coal above it which would make it possible to cook food inside the toaster oven and even use the top surface as a stove top.

if you look close enough you can see the SoloStove inside the case covered by a bag. .

If your contained to your car you can make a rain collector on the roof.

i have my doubts that a jar of coin is useful in an emergency nor is it space/weight efficient

Vending machine and it's something a lot of people already have. Having some cash/bills on hand is also a good idea because when the power is out your debit/credit cards will not work.

ZN6, you can buy emergency packets of water online. I Googled it, a bunch of options came up. If you have somewhere dark/cool to store water, 4L jugs or plastic 24 pk of water is fine. If the bottles are under direct sunlight like in your car or something, you have to rotate and replace them max every 6 months.

My family in Japan keeps large jugs of water around the house in case of earthquakes. The idea being that you have to be prepared to be without water for 2 to 3 days. In the mean time, boiling water for cooking and drinking purposes, and being able to fill the toilet water tank in order to flush is important in order to prevent the spread of disease and such.

something tells me most vending machines will be smashed
agreed on the bills

Vancouver? Tsunami? LUL

i think i might just get a life straw. seems good. don't need packaged water and it's light and portable

LifeStraw - We make contaminated water safe to drink.

I think it's around $20 - $30 on amazon. Time to pack 2. Or just drink my own piss. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

$50 for 8 liters of water. Also drinking out of a pouch does not look easy. Better off having bottles of water.
