Yes, that is per person. It is based on the amount used per person in the civil war. Of course you did not eat all of it some of it was used for tanning hides into leather and was necessary for metallurgy as well.

So you could probably get by with less especially at the beginning but it is cheap and as you said a good trade good.

Remember to make sure some of it is iodized salt or table salt. Iodine is a very important mineral that is especially needed during pregnancy for normal mental development.

Good point on getting iodized salt. I don’t think kosher salt is iodized, is it?

We are finally, finally, finally putting shelves in my food storage room in the basement. So I’ll actually be able to see what I have instead of hoping and guessing. That’s not the best prepper planning method!!

So I’ll be able to count up the pounds of salt that I have plus Have room to buy a bunch more. This will be some fun shopping!
