When I first started making moldy meat in my garage over a year ago I figured that it must take very specialist equipment, and a team of well read meat science boffins to make anything resembling a decent cured product. I quite frankly am not a meat science boffin, or have very specialist equipment. Nor do the thousands of other people around the globe that cure meat at home, and make a darn fine product too I should add. It turns out it is actually exceptionally easy to make a basic reliable setup at home to cure meat in, and one that doesnt cost a pretty penny either. In fact, with a little wheeling and dealing, I reckon the whole thing can be put together for around $100 even less if you have an old fridge already

My husband has JUST decided to get on board with prepping - well, more like P A N I C SHTF sort of thing, LOL. I want to get him a really useful tool for Christmas - what are your top five suggestions? The thing I’m thinking of is the sort of tool that most people might overlook, but is very useful to have.
Solar powered battery charger
Hand crank AM/FM Radio
Hand crank Lantern
Dehydrator
Multi-Tool
A good study pair of hiking boots
I have been HINTING for a solar powered radio w/light for the past month+ as a gift that I would like. :)
What type of multi-tool do you think is a good choice? Price is not the biggest factor - usefulness and quality are most important to me.
Thanks.
