Preppers Are We 

John Morgan

John is the founder of the Preppers Are We Facebook sales page.

John's prepper gift ideas:

1. Pink Curing Salt #1: Not to be confused with Pink Himalayan Salt, pink curing salt is a mixture of sodium chloride and (table salt) and sodium nitrite. If you're looking to cure your own meats using pink curing salt, or Prague powder, our Pink Curing Salt 1 is gluten-free and batch tested for perfection. Pink curing salt is ultimately used to cure meat, meaning that it makes it so that the botulinum toxin cannot produce. Once known as sausage disease or sausage poisoning, botulism was derived from “botulus,” the Latin word for sausage. It's important to remember that pink curing salt by itself is 100% toxic to humans. It should never be used as regular table salt and should not be sprinkled on food for flavoring.
   
   
2. JavaPresse Manual Coffee Grinder: Whether you're brewing fine-ground espresso or coarse-ground french press, our grinder has a built-in adjustable grind selector with over 15 settings ensures you have 100% control over the coarseness of your grind. We also include quick start guides, grind charts, and how-to videos to help you use your grinder to its fullest. Take it anywhere.
