Rich man.
That will preserve several tons of meat, and vegetables (hope you like kraut and kimchee).

Actually, I love both kraut and kimchee. Good for you, too, as long as it is unpasturized.
Salt is as easy to get as water from the Chesapeake bay - go collect a gallon of bay water, pour it in a cookie sheet, set it in the sun, and let the water evaporate.
Water one gets from the Patomac river - right above great falls. That is where the water intakes are for DC, Southern MD, and NVA. Sure, it is treated with chlorine, et al. but it needn’t be. You can drink it right out of the river.
If one lives in MI - you are sitting on the biggest salt mine in the world. It is under the city of Detroit.
Funny, huh?
