Living in the high desert, hydration is often neglected by new residents from states having more rain. Recently my kidneys were aching, having leg cramps, and frequent trips to bathroom. Adding a dash of lemon and a pinch of salt to the 32 oz bottle balanced the electrolytes so hydration became effective.
Yes salt is super important, and great tips. I have a friend and he completely eliminated salt from his diet, after some time he ended up in the hospital and paid 5k+ PER DAY out of pocket for 3 days plus additional stuff. Salt is absolutely necessary.
here we are a year and a half later...and this is more important than ever. Thanks for sharing. Btw, I use rice for de-clumping my salt.
My grandmother added rice to our salt shakers

Another option, go to your Farmer's Co-op or feed store, co-op brand is "Mix and Fine", it is all salt and comes in 50# plastic bags for $8 to $10. Tastes like any other salt. I try to keep 50 to 200 pounds on hand. Besides table fare, you can trade it, melt the snow, kill weeds in areas you do not want chemicals. One use is, when I soak my deer after washing all blood off and cutting away any damaged tissue, I put it in a cooler with 1/2 cup 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/2 cup vinagar, 1 cup salt and the cover the meat with ice and water. After 24 hours I drain the bloody water, wash the meat with fresh water and cover wth ice and water only and after 24 hours repeat. Yor meat is now ready to process. It will be more tender and will not have as strong wild taste. Cutting off as much of the fat and connective tissue also helps remove the gammy taste. Hope this helps. PB
Thank you.
Excellent write up. How do you know if the wild animals you hunt do not have CJD? Is there a kit or some technique hunters are using?
You take that deer and preserve that blood and make them taters pank.
Medium rare salt and cracked pepper crusted tenderloin is my favorite.
@@WildnUnruly You can have the meat tested by the wildlife agency in your state or local area. I only harvest my deer in areas that do not have CWD yet.
@@clarisagonzalez9539 You are very welcome. You will be amazed at how much better the meat tastes. Some people like the gamey taste, I don't. PB
It might be important to point out that the salt in iodine salt does not actually go bad after 5 years. The iodine may lose its effectiveness only.
Gracias por la aclaración.
Don't forget- don't use iodized salt when canning.
@@liberty8424 i’ve been cultivating mushrooms for years with a pressure canner and I’m recently looking into starting canning food in jars, sorry to bother, could you please explain why Iodized salt shouldn’t be used in canning? If I had to guess I imagine its because the iodine somehow reacts with the metal jar lids?
Also good to rinse with warm water for gum dental problems
My wife was hospitalized, 2 years ago, due to low sodium balance. I had been totally unaware of the bodies need for salt.
People can have seizures if their sodium level falls too low. Coma and death are also two possibilities.
With today's over salted foods it is a rarity.
Gracious! That is a shock~
The doctors all tell you to cut down! That salt is always bad. Nonsense.
I bought some Himalayan salt,,which is Approx tens of THOUSANDS of yrs old,,and wouldn't you know it, It will expire ONE YR after I buy it..Yup, it has an Expiration date...Amazing. Just MY LUCK
It is not the salt that has an expiration date, it is the container.
Metal, cardboard or plastic bag...these corrupts the salt.
Bummer. I have the same luck.

Thank you and God Bless everyone. Once again a superior video. Roman soldiers were paid in salt. In Egypt gold and salt went for a one to one ratio. Salt, sugar , flour , baking soda , and powdered milk white gold when disaster strikes. You cannot eat gold or silver. Water , food , vitamins , nutrients , herbs , and medical supplies they truly count.

For iodine store dried seaweed. Kombu has the highest amount of Iodine of any seaweed, so you don't need to eat very much to get the nutrients you need in the form of iodine. (from Japanese: 昆布, romanized: konbu) is edible kelp mostly from the family Laminariaceae and is widely eaten in East Asia.It may also be referred to as dasima (Korean: 다시마) or haidai (simplified Chinese: 海带; traditional Chinese: 海帶; pinyin: Hǎidài).
Except Fukushima is still spilling radioactive waste. So I would not suggest seaweed.

FYI: Table salt is sodium chloride. Another salt that is necessary for good health is potassium chloride. This can be found in most salt substitutes, such as Nu-Salt. The bucket storage method is good. I've also used vacuum bags to seal up salt containers.
Yep, good point. The Sodium-potassium pump participates in the basic energy of the cell, through the ADP-ATP cycle.
Great information... Grateful! 😃
Buy both salts
New subscriber here. My favorite salt by far is pink Himalayan. I find it to taste saltier than other salts, so you use much less. I found it hilarious that my endocrinologist told me I need to eat more salt bc I have very low blood sodium levels, while my cardiologist told me to eat less salt bc of high blood pressure. So I try to eat more or less salt, lol
Something that you might want to consider is storing salt for curing meats and fish. It's an excellent way of preserving meats for long term and it's just as good as smoking meat and fish for storage.
Salt is part of my preps but I had no idea that some salt had a shelf life, nor did I realize that it attracted moisture. Thank you so much for this information!
Neither did I.
Moisture is what makes it cake.. leave a bit in the open and drops of water will form on it..
Not everybody has a gun, even though most people nowadays do, but not everybody has hundreds, or thousands of ammunition crates stacked, upon thousands of ammunition crates. Not everybody is prepared, but also, not everybody knows or has been trained on how to aim and shoot properly. Not everybody has stocked up on food & water either. Not everybody has trust & security in large numbers. Not everybody has a backup plan. Not everybody has great optimum physical dexterity or has brains. Not everybody has robotic soldiers. Not everybody has an underground bunker when shit hits the fan. Not everybody is a prepper. Not everybody knows how to grow their own food. Not everybody knows how to sleep with one eye open. Not everybody is at least bilingual or trilingual and knows how to negotiate when necessary. Not everybody knows how to safely poop crouched in the forest, whilst balancing wiping with leaves in one hand and holding a gun in the other. Not everybody knows what to do when they come into contact with Negan.
Not everybody knows why salt is essential and how to store it.

Mortar and pestle. Grind the clumped salt into a usable product. Easily resolved.
We simply vacuum seal our granulated salts in mason jars with standard lids. Those lid are coated. No metal comes in contact with the salt.
We also store standard white livestock blocks in plastic buckets. Just $5 for a 50 pound block. Contrary to popular misconception, they are perfectly fit for human consumption. We use the square buckets for a perfect fit. They will draw moisture around the lid so I use model glue to seal the lids.
Salt will be a super barter item. Throughout time it has often traded equally by weight with gold. Sadly though, few people today will realize how crucial salt is. Many will die from salt deficiency and not even realize why.
I salt cure hams with salt I buy at the feed store, 50lb bag for 7-8 bucks.. Ingredients: salt…lol…salt is salt, glad I’m not the only one..lol
Thank you for the valuable info!!
Used them in a water softener
Thank you. I learned so much from you two. It is amazing that after years of experience there were still things I did not know.
I never even thought of storing salt. Thanks so much for all of the great info!
Another year later and its still so vital..Been storing various salts this week. 10 pounds per person per year , and many pounds for food preservation. Great video. 👍
Your videos are so vital to the average prepper. Exactly what we need to know. You go through the entire process leaving nothing out. I have no salt for long term storage but in my pantry I have about three pounds. I like the idea of just salt, no caking additive.
Salt is so inexpensive. $20 bucks dedicated to salt only, should cover your entire LTS goals
I have found that Pedialyte bottles which are plastic and have plastic lids are one of the best ways for me personally to store salt
Totally agree with the video. Cost is a big deal for me, bulk is also a factor unless I’m going for barter. Packing meat is a 1 time use until reconstituted. I used salts for water softeners 1.47 for 10 lbs in a plastic bag. I tried pool salt and it worked well 50lb bag for $6. I use ice chests filled with meat catch/harvest cleaned then packed. After curing I don’t reuse but ♻️.
Thank you guys for this wonderful class. God bless you.
I had salt in a cabin but didn't use it for about 20 years. When I tried to use it, it had lost all flavor. I threw it out. The Bible knew what it meant when it said, if the salt has lost its savor where is the saltiness. It's only good to be thrown out. It was always an amazing reminder. You are the salt of the earth.
Better read that scripture again..
My grandmother put a teaspoonful of white rice in her salt shakers to soak up the moisture it worked don't know how long it will work though but her salt was never clumpy I am storing mine in half gallon ball jars with a little white rice it will have to be sifted but so far it has worked been doing this for 6 years my self no problem so far this was with just iodized salt I haven't tried it with sea salt or canning salt but its worth it if it works🤔
Yes! We did that when living in the topics--rice in the salt shaker.
I've always used a pinch of rice in my salt to keep the moisture out.
My Mom taught me that trick years ago. And now my kids do too.
My grandma and mom put a soda cracker in the salt and sugar. Good advice!
I live in Nevada, never have to worry about your salt getting clumpy here.
Iodine is critical to have your thyroid function correctly.
Iodine is especially critical for both males and females with big breasts, because it takes a lot of iodine to keep those puppies healthy, and cancer-free. Consider supplements.
Not if you have Graves’ disease. I have to avoid iodine to stay well.
@@daydreamer5492 Gotta keep them puppies heathy for sure, lol.
Puppies??!!?? 😲 ummmmm... 🙃
Some males have bigger puppies than females.
Lots of food and water has sodium needed for your diet. It doesn't all have to be from table salt. I have kept Morton iodized salt in original container for 20 years. Was just fine.
Thanks For Sharing..
God Bless You All..
Thank you. Good info. I always wondered what the difference was and all these different salts.
My husband and I live on a little tropical island. Perfect timing and encouragement to watch your video today. We are off to go salt hunting/gathering. We find it on the black lava rocks along the shoreline, gather it, strain it, bake on low heat in the oven till it's more dry, then store it in large canning jars. We throw in a few silica gel packets....Feeling inspired thanks to you two...Have a great day!!!
Again another well thought out and produced video. So simple to prep but not on the radar of most people. Excellent point on the metal lids. I have now changed some of my preps. WOW on the shelf life of IODIZED salt. THANKS. I will be pulling my 10 year old Iodized salt to check on them. I have about 40 lbs of salt for 2 people. But I always figured I would be helping others out as well. It is so cheap I will restock with just plain salt. Great video.
Very wise. Salt is something I never really give thought to until it comes to canning season.
Refreshing myself again with important info on storing up essentials! Thanks again 4 sharing! 🥰
Thank you. I found the salt storage VERY HELPFUL.❤

If you intend to hunt as part of your prep, storing a few salt licks could be a great cheap help. The same for any stock such as horses, cattle etc, they may need salt as much as you. It's a cheap thing to store, and as quoted here, could be a great trade item for those without as it's often missed when prepping. Another good item is ''Lite-salt'', a 50/50 mix of salt (Sodium Chloride) and Potassium Chloride, often a good addition to your diet if your not eating enough plant based foods.
I have used Lite Salt for over 42 years. I have never had a lab come back bad, always within "normal limits".. I have worked in dialysis for the last 26 years and WATCH MY KIDNEY FUNCTIONS LIKE A HAWK.... My cardiac labs as well. This is great information to people who DON'T know, glad they were able to get to this video before it is too late. Thanks.
I greatly appreciate your salt information. Even though I store a variety of salts well, because I'm a canner, I have not given the nutritional benefits much thought. Thank you for enlightening me
I will NOT take this video with a grain of salt!!! We use very little salt and prefer natural sea salt when we do use it to help maintain the sodium-potassium balance. Now, even old geezers can learn new things so we will defiantly be reassessing what we have in storage and for what purposes we have it. Thank you for yet another informative video.
Learned a lot. Thank you.
Great video, thank you Jonathan and Kylene. Happy trails!
Those prepping ideas are a great salternative!! Bwahahaaa!!
Thank you for this info! It's needed now more than ever!

Very good advice!!! Thank you!
Great video.....Salt of the Earth folks.
Caked salt is not an issue. That's how it was handled for thousands of years. If it cakes, use a mini box grater to bring it back to a useable form. Running a serrated steak knife blade over a solid block of salt does the same.
Thanks for the video!
I need to use my prepping supplies.
If you have glass jars with metal lids, you can put some plastic wrap over the top of the jar before you screw on the lid. This will prevent the salt from corroding the metal lid.
I repackage my salt (and sugar) in half-sized (8oz) disposable plastic water bottles for protection from moisture and for barter. I shy away from glass jars because a shockwave from a nuclear blast can and will leave many regrets. I don't want glass all over the floor or contents dripping from upper shelves. 😎👍🏻💥
Kudos, you even got the fine details like no metal lid, and how salt which doesn't go bad, can be ruined. It's like you two researched this topic in depth? Grade A on your salt report! 😉
One extra use for pure salt: dissolve in water with a DC current, you can turn this into a bleach that can be use for cleaning/desinfecting or more importantly use for WATER TREATMENT. If pickiling salt is dissolve in water, why not use another salt not containing anticaking agent? Salt for pool maintenance is pure salt and come so cheap !!! Easy to rebag that into paper lunch bags before ending up in the plastic pail. Iodized salt have ''technically'' a short life shelf because of the iodine inside, but the salt will still be usable, even if iodine is not there anymore. BTW potassium iodine is extremely stable, you can still use radioprotection pills made in the cold war era. So 5 years is not really a big concern.
Que lindos. Thankyou very much, for your information. Blessings
I just came across your channel yesterday, through your comfrey video. I live in Italy and spent 6 years working as a tour guide in Rome. There is a road called the Via Salaria which was the salt road (sale is salt in Italian), where the inland people would come down to trade for salt from the coastal people. I also am well aware of its medical benefits, as I don't really like salty food, and have suffered with low blood pressure and actually been told to take salt tablets. So ever since I became collapse-aware, I've had it at the back of my mind that we should start storing salt. And now you've reminded me... thanks!!! I did search and found that also prunes, lima beans and of course dried seaweeds are other good sources of iodine.
Super video...something I need to stock up on in days like these...thanks! 😊👍
Thanks for the great tutorial on salt
I did know how important salt is. I don't have any in my food storage.
Tha K you for the info. God bless.
Same here. I only use Celtic and Himalayan salts. Good to know not to use a metal lid. I had no idea.
Thank you so much..
So helpful..
Love your videos!!
Thank you for the info. Look's like I need to get some small size plastic food buckets to store my canisters of iodized salt even though I live in a very low humidity environment. Luckily I have plenty of potassium iodate tablets that I can use when the iodized salt gets older than 5 years.
Great tips..... thanks
Store salt or die!!! Love that, made me laugh. I was storing ionized salt, but moving to no additives salt asap. Thanks again for another great vid!
I have only 4 lbs stored for long term so far. It's plain salt, as I did know that iodized doesn't last as long. I almost bought the Himalayan pink salt the other day, but wasn't sure if it was good for long term storage. Thanks to you I now know that it is, and will buy and store it. Thank you.
Don’t buy iodized salt. It was added back in the day for some reason, and now it still there, idk I’ve heard about that his a while ago now.
Just the iodine becomes inactive. The salt will be perfectly useable.

Seems to me, even if youve got water-caked salt, you should be able to dry it out---oven, maybe, or how 'bout a sun oven with the lid open just a crack to let the moisture escape? You might have to re-grind it, depending on how wet and re-crystalized it got, but if you can't figure a way to grind salt, I'd say youve got much larger problems than just soggy salt.
I don't understand. Who cares if its wet?
@@cmlxjcky Wet salt doesn't measure worth a darn, plus if it gets too wet, it stops being salt and becomes salt water. If its gotten damp and then dries out, it destroys the box its stored in by becoming an unusable brick.
@@AnnBearForFreedom it becomes salt water... but you can still evaporate the water, no? Is getting salt from the ocean not a thing?
@@carriebecker8383 Carrie, it most certainly IS a thing! However, desalination plants are huge, energy sucking mosters. You could go the simple old-fashioned way and just let the sun evaporate huge flat trays of sea water, but then youre ingesting all the radioactivity and medicines and chemicals that stupid people love to dump in the oceans. Thats if youve got access to sea water, which I don't, living in a high desert. So in the end, its just easier and cheaper in the long run for me to buy a 55 gallon drum of pink sea salt, and grind it as it brickifies.

Great post!
Loved your video . Very helpful information. In the book the yellow emperor and the golden chamber ( Chinese emperor and his private personal physician .) In the book they talk about salt , that over time in a vessel turns to liquid and goes bad . I have a lot of salt stored . After reading this I was afraid of my salt going bad . Your video gave me much relief. Thank you 🌸( Hawaii).

I “eat” (yes eat!) black volcanic salt a couple of times per day.
I have found there is something in this salt that stops a weird “tiredness” symptom I get. Been doing this for two years now and if I skip a day I can surely notice!
I used to haul Morton salt mined under lake erie near cleveland with the trademarked blue color for road maintenance.
Just a few thoughts…salt not only absorbs moisture, it will also take on odors! Also, it has been my experience that the white plastic jar lids are great for fridge storage but they are not water/air tight. However, there are dark gray lids that are watertight. Thank you for the information and nudge to get our pantry properly stocked!
Here, Here! Tks for your input.
Question , the plastic lids let in it and orders the give a taste to salt, what if you dip the the jar lid past the neck of the jar in wax?
I love "Real Salt"...it is delish.
I know that this video is 2 yrs old now, but I definitely want people to know that "Redmonds Real Salt" has many options now and they even have an Agricultural section too. Just wanted to update. I am not affiliated in any way with "Redmonds Real Salt," I am just a huge fan. "Redmonds Real Salt" is a fantastic salt!
Reviewed this again because my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. I wanted to add that Iodine added to salt is not necessary as you get Iodine naturally in many meats and vegetables. It was created by the government to add it to salt finding that so many needed it at one time. We all trust the government, don't we 🤔
I've used 15 year old salt that my grandparents put up,they stored it in paper bags,doubled the bags tapped it shut stored it away..I found a bag after my grandparents past.
I did not know iodized salt had a shelf life. My salts are not that old but I need to vacuum seal them ASAP. In a bucked with a desiccant pack. Thanks for the information.
Me too! Learned alot from this video. Condiments too are important I believe.
I am glad this video came on my feed. I just received last week some salt ordered from Portugal. How much? :
25 kg. That was the amount they sold for the kind of salt I was looking for. All natural. Since I dont have any gold, that could be my bartering option.

I just added four more salt cartons to my preps to make for a year's worth. I found SEA salt with iodine and on sale! Yay!
I’m storing kosher salt in 5 gallon buckets, sealed in Mylar bags. I have 3 buckets and plan on more in the future. As you guys said, it will be gold if it happens. I’m also storing Himalayan salt and use it daily.
