Vegan Lube

[fcvan]

HaHa alert, stupid comments to follow . . .

I am a modified vegetarian. Cows eat plants which is like vegetables. I simply eat processed veggies.

I don't have a problem with vegans or vegetarians, it leaves more meat for us!

Now for the serious stuff. My niece's daughter has recently decided she is vegan. Her parents fixed some plant based sausage links for her. Her comment was 'they taste too much like the real thing.' They in fact did, I tried some. My niece also fixed some turkey corn chowder, lots of veggies and such, but before the meat and dairy was added some of the chowder was pulled off for her. She liked it but still commented it was missing something. My niece is going to try tofu and almond milk, should fill the bill.

I had a cook recommend some meat substitute made in his home town of Petaluma, CA. I bought some Nature's Burger, came out to be about the same price per pound as regular burger. It is a dried box mix so it's shelf life is stellar. Fixed as described, it was very good. It was even better when made into Sloppy Joe's.

I don't have a problem with vegetarian or vegan folks for their beliefs, kind of like folks who have different personal beliefs. This is America, personal liberty is a core ingredient to our national culture. I do have a problem with folks who are militant, non accepting of other's beliefs, and develop some sort of superiority complex. As Woodrow F. Call said, 'I hate rude behavior in a man, I won't tolerate it.' I think it is time to re-watch Lonesome Dove again.

There are many good vegan friendly hand and body lotions . I would try Jack Black Industrial strength hand healer first . You could also google DIY vegan friendly salves,creams, lotions etc. Good luck on you venture .

there aint much to a vegan so it would be difficult to make lube from them.

It takes sooo many of them to get enough oils to make the lube!

I have wondered if bar soap could be used as a lube (in a pinch, maybe SHTF). I mention it here knowing that there are vegan soaps. Melt the soap and dip the boolits like any other wax lube. Would it smell like flowers when you get to the range? Could you add a little more oil to the soap when it's melted and run it through a lube-sizer?

Probably.

I use Mrs. Winger's cast off remnants from scented candles in my low speed .45ACP & .38Spec. lube.
They have a pleasant foo-foo smell when fired.

Soap is nothing more than oil and fat saponified. Its best to cut it though with wax and additional oil.

Lol you want a little bit more lubing action and a little bit less cleaning action.

First, try melting the soap you want to use...let us know how that goes
