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.

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

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.

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.

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. 😎👍🏻💥

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.

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!

Thank you for this video. I am grateful. About a year/year and a half ago, I purchased quite a few boxes of salt. Cleaning and organizing my pantry (in anticipation of a few new shelving units, I moved these boxed of salt and upon touch, I noticed that cold feeling and knew this salt could turn rock hard if I didn't act now. Opening the boxes, there was a clump here and there butthe broke up easily and I poured them into several food safe plasic containers I had and set those containers in a new gamma lid bucket I had recently purchased. In your video, you made no mention of desicants. In an attempt to draw any moisture existing in the salt, I places several on top of the salt then screwed the lid down tight and put the container in the bucket with the gamma lid. They are food safe desicants. Is this OK? Would you remove them after a period when I think they did their job? Same question for sugar!🤔

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.

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 🤔

coming back a bit later to suggest i was told that the reason iodized salt has a shelf life (i was told by a person who worked for a sugar company, not a salt company, who talked to executives at a salt company- so its third hand) is that the iodine sublimates out. now that is a known fact. the iodine level in the salt decreases as time goes by (which is why i urge people to keep luigols iodine solution) so that 5 year shelf life may be the shelf life until the iodine is depleted...? not the "salt goes bad" however! the additives in table salt can inhibit fermentation/pickling- and will make pickles and canning solutions cloudy- so i plan on my long term stores being "pure salt" or natural block salt... and yes, leave the iodized salt in my rapid rotation

The way I see it: If things really go to heck and there is absolutely no food left, electrolytes are what are going to keep you alive as your body utilizes it's own fat stores for energy. Even if you haven't eaten in weeks, salt and water is going to keep you going as you work to procure food. That said, salt could really be the game over phase of survival prepping and must not be neglected.

Came here after the recent salt video, never too early to get them into the "family business" XD Getting to be time to deal with the salt I already have in storage, and was wondering about the iodized as well as the reg salt, so thanks for the info. I'm guessing the 5 yr shelf life for iodized salt refers to the iodine leaving the salt, not enough coffee in me yet to remember the exact process on it, but I remember something about over time it works its way free of the salt,. I always have some lugol's iodine (dont think you guys can get that down there easily, if you've watched Breaking Bad, you'll know why^^) or nascent iodine is available readily in the US, as well as seaweeds (kelp, dulse, etc.) not only do they have have iodine, but potassium as well as many other minerals, so they're good to have around if you want to put away reg types of salt for really long term storage, they also are great insurance if you have a garden failure, as you have to grow a lot of veggies to match what they have in them, pound for pound, so a little goes a long way. Iodine,Selenium,and Vit B12 are the "choke-points" of living off long term beans & rice, etc preps. I like the "no salt" types as well to add to my food for the potassium as well. Salt gets a bad rap, it's very good for you, thanks for the videos, and many blessings!!

This info does not seem to consider amount of salt in other food products you store (e.g. freeze dried foods and canned goods)! Also, 'iodized salt' is very poor source for iodine. My take, 5#/person/yr is fine. We store Pink Himalayan in addition to other salts for pickling, etc. BTW, salt does not expire!

A little bit wrong about iodized salt. If its just salt and iodine, then after 5 years it'll become just plain salt. That's why the put such a short shelf life. But salt itself never expires. Even if it's stored wrong, it still is just salt.

I have 75 pounds of table salt in three - 25 pound bags. I plan to get another five - 25 pound bags to get my amount to 200 pounds of salt. I will soon pack the salt into 5 gallon sealed buckets for long term storage. This salt is for curing raw meat for storage in case we loose power for the long haul. My freezer meats would ruin in just a couple of days without power. Some of that meat will be wood smoked and some will be dehydrated into jerky. The rest will be heavily salted and put away lasting as long as it can. If a long term power outage happens; I’m going to wish I had 500 more pounds of salt… I also have several smaller packs of various types of salt. For daily cooking and table use. The small containers of salt I have should last me a couple of years if only used for cooking food.
