Pardon my ignorance, but could you elaborate?
What is the source?
Does the mentioning of an 'evap pond' mean that you need to 'process' the salt in some way?
Thanks.

As SpartanKing mentions......sweat contains salt. Didn't the Huns preserve meat by putting it under their saddles, next to the salty, sweaty horse??
One might be able to scrape sweat from a horse or mule to get salt, there is a good bit of it there, as anyone whose hosed down a sweaty horse and gotten splashed in the face, can attest......of course one might not want to use it unless they were desperate.

Are you assuming there are no canning jars left anywhere in the world at this point?
So my question is this, How do you extract salt from sea water??

Then you've never had canned meat from someone who knew what they were doing. We used to can venison and beef and it tasted every bit as delicious as those tins of canned beef cubes that cost $4 in the stores.
Anybody who lives in the high country deserts (which I grew up in) can tell you that anywhere you find a windmill and stock tank or pond, you'll find salt lick blocks placed by the ranchers.
