All humans are creative. It takes a special kind of human to make an idea go from in one’s head, or simply spoken to our significant other, to going live on Amazon.

Sooner or later, some superbug that’s immune to all antibiotics or some virus that mutates quickly is going to show up. And when it does, you want to be ready.  Fortunately you’re a prepper, you’ve already stockpiled N95 masks and surgical gloves and you have multiple freezers, one in your garage, one in the basement and of course your mainstay in the kitchen.
