Also remember salt is corrosive to most metals. Grandma's solution to sore throat or cold sores works all the time! Thank you!
If you need a plastic lid for your salt, a Dukes Mayo lid works on regular mouth canning jars, as does the green lids from grated parmesan cheese containers. Plus the green lids are divided… one side is a shaker, the other for measuring spoons. Thanks for the reminder about salt!
Thank you, the pink Himalayan salt lamps that are for sale in the "Thrift" stores for $1.59, has basically 10 pounds of salt that can be ground up and eaten. Also, this is the best salt for fermenting because of the minerals. Big Lots, 5 pounds for $4. Merry Christmas. God Bless and stay safe.
I actually have two such lamps. Recently I thought that if need be, they will be ground down. 😉 As much as I like them as is... 😉😄
@@thekingsdaughter4233 It's a prepping thing. They work great as intended, especially to the older folks that believe. Blessings. Merry Christmas
Thanks Joey! I've seen the Himalayan salt lamps and that's a great idea! lol! Two uses : )
There is a spot in far west Texas where there was once a “salt war” Iv been there a couple times. Pretty interesting history.
These vids are my favs in addition to your old vehicle preparedness, get home bags and what you carry as well as why, etc… rewatch those all the time, thanks!!!!!
Thanks JD! I appreciate it Brother
Long live the Republic!
A stone kitchen mortar and pestle is ideal for reconditioning caked salt.
i just checked my store room and had about a dozen of my salt containers too damp. i took it all out and repackaged it in mylar bags, then packed those back into 5 gallon buckets with a good lid, labeled it all as I went. what a job! so glad I checked the corners, always a good lesson there.
Every time I go to fast food joints I grab extra packs of salt and pepper, put them in bags and stockpile with these as well. As high as food is getting these days, they owe me something in return. McDonald’s just raised their prices on those cheap wonderful bundle deals. Fifty cents plus tax which is ANOTHER 54 cents. May not sound like much but it is ur yet ANOTHER price increase while my pay remains the same. Inflation sucks.
I remember a video it was on the weather channel. A man was walk in the Grand Canyon. He slipped on fell. He was a older man. He had food and water but the food was salt free. The water in the canyon. The time they found him he could not wave at the emergency people or talk. The heat made him lose salt out of his body.
I would suggest putting a silica pack in the big sealed container to prevent any moisture in the container to be dissipated
SEA-90 'agricultural minerals' is actually unrefined salt from the Baja Peninsula. It is the most mineral-intensive salt known. I have 80# in stock that we use in food and in the garden. It needs to be kept in an airtight container as there are volatile minerals that evaporate as gases. Almost all salts are heavily refined and heated to high temperatures and are devoid of minerals other than sodium and chloride. I order from Boogie Brew in CA. Dr. David Brown, MD, an iodine expert says we need 1-1 1/2 teaspoons of quality salt daily. Iodide evaporates very quickly from salt and iodide without iodine is linked to Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune illness.
Did not know this type of plastic lids instead of metal. Good Job! Thanks.
Thanks Koni!
Your videos are outstanding my friend and always applicable to improving our preps. Stay safe and thank you for sharing your ideas. Cheers from Canada!
Pink Himalayan salt has 71 minerals. It's inexpensive. Four - Five bucks /lb.
Expensive? Seeing a physician for this lack of information is much more expensive than spending a little more to receive much more hope in return than what little hope a prosperous physician can offer-
I’m sorry but that is expensive. Most regular one pound salt containers are 69-99 cents. Pink Himalayan salt is four to five times more per pound.
I like to use Redmond's Realsalt from Utah for all my cooking. There are no micro plastics in it like the Himalayan Pink Salt. I used to use Celtic Sea Salt exclusively but Redmond is my go to now.
The problem with pink stuff is over 50% of it is fake and sometimes not clean. I use Redmond’s Real salt and it is made/mined in the USA. Reg sea salt has to-many micro plastics.
Just got 20 lbs worth lol
I’ve heard a Dr. say never use sea salt due to micro plastics that don’t evaporate out when the salt is processed. I buy items all the time with sea salt but now I wonder if it’s a mistake. Would love to hear your take. My prep supply is roughly 70/30 non iodized so that I have a source of iodine. Salt definitely makes a plethora of foods more palatable. Thanks for the information. You’re the salt of the earth!
Thanks for the heads up Steve, I need to do some research on that one. It may be where the sea salt is harvested as well.
That I don't believe anything a doctor or scientist says. About the only doctor I would trust is Dr Axe. I would go online and take your question to him. Or Dr Steven gundry.
yer I read that report the Dr of yours might be talking about...I question it. from what I read it also stated that 94% of the worlds salts have microplastics in them, as well as beer, wines, rice, honey, tap water, fresh water, sea foods, fresh water foods, canned foods, eggs, meats, dairy, rice, honey and ect and ect. honestly the report read more like a greens report on plastics then a medical report so I say take it with a grain of salt(pun intended).
Great video, important part of any prep. I have a lot of salt in mylar with oxygen absorbers. Minor detail if anyone is Googling, I believe it is HyponAtremia and HypernAtremia.
Sootch, 70 years ago, when I was a young farm boy, I couldn't count the times I pulled out my trusty Buck folder and chipped off a chunk of salt block to suck on while I did my chores. And I'm doing better now, than most 50 year old guys! If it won't kill the cows and horses, why do you think it would hurt you?
Thank you very much for this information. I have some but you remind me to get more. To hear your knowledge calms me down. Your have a good sound to your voice. Crazy I know it sounds that way. Thanks.
Thanks Dealva! Don't be scared, get prepared. It goes a long way in bringing peace of mind. I wish you the best!
@@SensiblePrepper thank you!
I found the key to over salting. After 46 years of sweating too much, having high blood pressure, always craving salty stuff, digestion problems, and on and on. All seemingly salt related issues. Come to find out last year, its because of a potassium problem, not a salt problem. (Thanks Dr Berg)
Potassium tastes like salt, so your body craves that salt taste when youre low on it. , so you eat more sodium salt and that actually compounds the problem. Its a vicious circle. Turns out you need 4x the potassium to sodium ratio. And all these years, after taking potassium supplements recently, all those issues went away.
So if youre like me with way over sweating, difficulty dealing with heat and staying hydrated, always craving salt.....get some potassium citrate. I get the bulk powder. Way cheaper and capsules are limited to 90mg by the FDA, so its mostly filler. Its a life changer.
Table Salt is extremely important, but it gets a bad rap, not because its bad and causing problems, its from a potassium deficiency in most cases. I wished i would have known that the last 4 decades. With potassium, the heat feels cooler in summer, i dont sweat like crazy, my BP is more stable, and i dont crave salt like i used to. There's about 5% of you out there that know what im talking about(probly irish😅 like me), so see if that helps with all those said issues like i always had.
Great advice. I have regular intel up on YT. Keep prepping guys 👍 🙏 ✝️
Thanks Brother!
Good video Sootch. Great info, thank you
Thanks for stopping by Nana!
@@sootch00 you’re welcome Sootch, been stopping by for 9 years, will keep on too if you’re up for another 9. 🤣
when I pack salt for long term storage I add a moisture absorber before sealing it up -- NOT an oxygen absorber, that will make salts and sugars rock hard !!!
there is a reply to THIS comment that is from a SCAMMER !!! it has been reported !!!!
I know this is off topic. but I want you to know how you are helping me and how much your channel has meant to me. The Lord works in amazing ways. nothing happens without his consent and his control. that being said. I just want to say thank you for all your helpful advice and hard work. God Bless you and yours, and God Bless our Great Country. I am in the Middle of fighting for my life with Chemo. and I am so glad you addressed the topic about buying cheap or untested gear. some things I have learned you just cannot skimp on. in a little under a year, while being sick, I have been able to build several situational BOB's and also EDC small bag. additionally, even though i have become financially strained, I have rethought my Budget and directed spending towards a 1 month food supply. and also contingency bug out locations for short term and long term. I have tested all my items, and upgraded all necessary items where needed. I follow two philosophies when it comes to survival. Les Stroud. and Dave Canterbury. it also helps that I am x Navy .... anyway. just wanted to reach out and say thanks. already said too much
Thanks Henry! You've just made my day Brother! My mission is to inspire people to be prepared and to be the watchman on the wall. I'll be praying for you so stay strong my friend. God Bless you and yours.
@@sootch00 you do that (Inspire me) every time you post a new Video. I am always armed with Notebook whenever you post a new video. I try so hard to be an active listener and work hard to unlearn so much. many of my friends who laughed at me when i started don't think its so funny anymore. and are slowly following in your indirect foot steps. what I have found to be the most difficult thing (besides stomaching our current President) is learning at the age of 55. hahhaa. God Bless you.
Check your Morton table salt, it has DEXTROSE AKA SUGAR!!!!
And “Salary” is from the Italian/Latin for salt 🧂, because they were paid their wages in salt at times
Thank you
Always wondered about water softener salt and other uses
I also wonder about Water Softener salt. Depending on the brand, I’ve seen purity run from 95 to 99%. No nutritional additives though. But with a 40lb sack being less than $10, it bears looking into.
It's a cheap prep, so I would grab some regularly.
Interesting information about iodized salt. Does old iodized salt become harmful in any way? Or does the iodine just become useless. If things truly do collapse what is an effective source of iodine that you can store for more than 5 years?
If you are planning on a self-reliant Homestead sort of situation including animals it is absolutely necessary that you have salt and mineral supplements for those animals, not just for three or four months but for years. Also learn which things your land Lacks and animals depend on. For instance goats must have copper, sheep are killed by copper. How do you take care of them both together?
We have two 5 gallon buckets of salt in the cardboard containers
We have a saying here which goes:
"I love you as like as salt".
Sometimes when I have no toothpastes around, I brush my teeth with salt, it cleans my teeth and whiten it as well.
Add salt to a burn and you will not have a blister, this is something ive done for years and works every time. keep small packets in your ifack, 1st aide kit and car easy to use.
1. thank you
2. I did not know that the iodine mixed with the salt would lose potency after 5 years. So, I will add plant based iodine to my next Amazon order.
3. The regular boxes of salt are stored in a large, clear plastic container in the garage which is water proof.
4. I use clean (former spaghetti sauce) glass containers for the specialty salt storage with the type of salt printed on paper and scotch taped to the glass container.
I get my sodium from seaweed. In an emergency, the coast is plentiful of seaweed. Its also healthy for you.
So far I've had luck buying in bulk, then paper in plastic. About 8 pounds of salt fit well into a paper lunch sack with enough room to tape it shut. Label it, then vacuum seal it in a food saver bag with a freshly recharged food safe desiccant pack.
Doesn’t salt get rock hard with a desiccant pack?
@@nicholas755 not that I've found. It gets rock hard when it gets wet then drys out.
What do you use for the "rechargeable food safe desiccant pack" I'd be more likely to seal the salt straight into the vacuum seal bag. Is there a particular advantage to the paper sack for storage? Or is the paper sack for when you reopen it later?
@@yetinother
There are a number of manufacturers that make food safe desiccant packs that you can recharge in the oven. You're just using heat to dry them out.
The paper bag is there for a couple of reasons. Ease of handling in a relatively uniform container, ease of handling once you have to break the plastic bag, and as a barrier between the salt and the plastic.
Salt and fats are essential. Most people are not aware that our bodies must have fats in order to digest and ABSORB the nutrients from proteins. so if you think you're getting a protein boost from that thick juicy steak, you will be disappointed if you don't have an intake of fat with it. Even a tablespoon or two of olive oil will suffice.
Thanks for the tips! I don't think I have much in my preps but I will rectify that.
Thanks for stopping by Ty!
We should have a few hundred lbs of salt on hand at all times. You never know when you’ll need it to preserve your meat.
On a side-note, I just watched a series on Hulu called “the men who made America great: frontiersman, last night and not only was it inspiring but they also talked about how important it was for early settlers to have plenty of salt on hand and/or know how to process it. Great series!
Thanks Sean, I'll have to check that series out. Learning from the past gives us a better insight on what we could face without the modern conveniences we have today.
Salt water helps with toothaches too:)
First comment! Love this channel!
Thanks for stopping by!
Himalayan pink salt doesn't have micro plastics in it like many sea salts do.
If your salt gets moisture in it, could you dry it out again?
I keep popcorn kernels in my salt to keep it from caking up in my every day containers, but can it be used long term?
My dr. Has me on a low salt regime.
Do not keep in cardboard containers. It soaks up moisture and ruins it. Turns to a brick! Must be in a glass container with a desiccant. Don’t store iodine salt either. Google reasons why…(but store some with iodine).
i put salt on dang near everything that is savory/umami and every time my blood labs are low on sodium and potassium. some of us just metabolize much faster i guess.
I am officially switching from drinking lots of water back to drinking lots of Bourbon.
Sootch,
I just informed the wife you said I should make the above switch, because all that water I've been drinking flushes out my salt level and you said it was dangerous to drink all that water. She will be calling you tomorrow sir!
I made the switch years ago. Definitely recommend
@@nicholas755 i like Jack Daniel's with organic root beer.
Can you do a salting meat video?
Can you use water softner salt, for anything other than a pool chlorinator? It comes in 50 lb. Bags at the building supply stores.
No you should not while it's sodium chloride they typically have some chemicals mixed in with it for fighting algae buildup.
Your thyroid won't want to absorb cesium iodide if it's already satisfied with iodine/iodide. Lugol's daily.
How much Lugol's to take daily?
@@ordinaryguy6869 You can't really O.D. on it. If your thyroid doesn't want (it's loaded) it doesn't absorb it. Most people take 2 to 6 drops. Under the tongue 2, in water 6.
@@50kArchipelagos Can you just drop some on your skin?
@@ordinaryguy6869 Yes. Between your toes for example is reported to kill fungi as well as achieve absorption. Generally, use the size of the palm of the person that you're applying the iodine to. Then just use the dropper or a roller ball and apply the iodine directly to the skin. Within a minute, the iodine should be dry enough to not stain skin or clothing. Be sure to rotate the spot where you apply your iodine to as iodine can be somewhat drying to your skin.
@@50kArchipelagos Very good. Thank you much!
Is his a repost?
Where did you find the the screw top bucket , looked all over .
Barrelsuperstore.com
@@SensiblePrepper You're the MAN !😇😇😇
@@cavemanNCC1701 Always here to help 🙂 I've bought a lot of supplies from those guys. Thanks Caveman
Where can I get some iodine suppliments? I don’t subscribe to internet but are there some health food stores anyone knows of in Illinois where I could buy an iodine suppliment?
You want IODIDE,not iodine.
@@martinhorn162 FYI: czcams.com/video/ON6wiJ2Oxck/video.html Dr. Ken Berry explaines what “iodine” suppliment I am refering to is not Sodium “Iodide.” Perhaps you have never heard of iodine used as a suppliment. I too thought the same spelling you did at first. Iodide is not iodine. Though they sound the same. Iodine is actually printed on sport shake labels but not spelled “iodide.” But I cannot find “iodine” in the store? Only on-line? This is a neccessary nutrient. Table salt with sodium iodided does not offer the same benefits as iodine. But link i gave you was hard to read since the zer0 and the Owe could take one to the wrong link. Dr Ken Berry explains why we have confusion over a poisonous substance and a dietary substance by the same name. I believe eating liver has some iodine in it. But the eye dropper type is the one I am searching for. If you find the link where to find it locally sourced instead of on line perhaps leave in the comments. Thank you again for leaving me a reply to my querry.
Take a shot every time he says “salt”
I've always thought sea salt was the healthiest because of minerals but never thought about the plastic issue. We are really ruining this planet.😪
I’ve read that pink Himalayan salt has had trace amounts of uranium in it. I’m no expert, and as it was online, one should always take something (wait for it)…. with a grain of salt. Sorry. I had to!
I could be salty about the pun, but I'm not. 😁
@@middknightdream1577 that was 2/3 of a pun. P-U…. Drops the mic
Rock salt is one u can depend on without micro plastics and fillers….the expensive stuff in this inflated mkt has changed. Tons of fillers now. Don’t trust most food today..
hello sir, please try to address special needs people in shtf situation 🙏 God bless
In addition to Roman soldiers being paid in salt, that is also where the term ‘salary’ comes from (‘sal’ is Latin for salt).
You have to keep salt in an airtight container because salt (and sugar) are hydroscopic (they absorb moisture from the air). Morton’s big innovation was additives they added to salt to keep it from sticking to itself and forming a lump in humid weather, hence the Morton salt girl and the ‘when it rains it pours’ tagline.
Keep moisture away from salt? What about the ocean? Lol
It’s not hyponutremia it’s hypoNAtrimia as in ‘Natrium’ the old word for Sodium.
So… ‘hypo’ meaning low or below…Sodium and ‘emia’ meaning ‘presence in blood’.
‘Low sodium presence in blood.’
I’ve been watching too many ‘Chubbyemu’ youtube videos.
You must have salt to live
Hyponatremia
hyponatremia - is the proper spelling
Redmond
Salt... it whats with dinner! 🧂🍟
I would add: Putting some rice grains in your salt jars will absorb the moisture in the container. And DON'T EVER use Salt to clean your cast iron with. Because salt is acidic and caustic to metal. You will only invite rust to form on your favorite skillets! Its much easier to soak your iron skillet, in hot water (5 or 10 minutes), then scrub it clean.
All salts are basically the same. Don't pay extra for any "Himalayan" salt. Look for the natrium content.
“The fda” u mean the liars
Hell no 😂 salt is valuable if you have plenty of water 💦 so if your water supply is not the best especially in a shtf time salt will dehydrate you
