Salt is very inexpensive (currently) and easy to store! Too many people have the romanticized idea that they’re going to live off the land with their “hunting skills”. But they often fail to look past the butchering and ask WHAT they’re going to do with 100 lbs of meat? I don’t WANT to have to shoot something every day just to eat! That’s going to get old pretty fast. :-)

Just about every culture has developed ways of preserving meats, from confits to jerky to mincemeat to curing. Good stuff to know, even if you never use it.
