    Where do you buy your salt from?

    Hey,

    I'd like to have a bag of salt on hand for a hide. I hear it should be a big bag, fine and non-iodized. Where do you buy your salt from, around the lower mainland, say Chilliwhack / abbotsford area?

    Thanks

    P.S. - Best bear skinnin how to I've found is by a Yukon CO, "Bear Hide and Meat Care" on Youtube.

    I'd imagine around Chilliwack there should be a couple feed stores that will carry what you are looking for.

    Most lumber yards sell water softener salt for $5-$6/20kg bag. K

    Fine is best as it clings better and dissolves faster, but coarse will do.
    Iodized or non-iodized makes no difference to the hide, just messes with the chemical baths at the tannery, but they monitor and adjust.
    Regular old table salt in 2 lb boxes does the job, livestock feed salt is in 40? lb bags

    Ive used probably 1000lbs, of salt from Costco.
    I've never had a taxi bitch about it.
