Salt

Its really simple. Get salt water from a not very populated spot, filter it through a few layers of cheese cloth into a big pot, boil/simmer until its turns into salt. Some people boil it down to a paste consistency then spread it out on a baking sheet to bake the rest of the moisture out of it.

Its time consuming. Took like 4 hours or so to boil down a little less than 2 gallons of water when I did it. Can't remember how much salt i ended up with. Maybe a cup or more? But how much salt you get will vary depending on water source, if its rained recently etc.

I will find my pics and post them.
