Can you use rock salt to preserve meat?

Pemmican is also good way to store meat long term, plus it has fat as well as protein.

Decide on a storage method based on the amount of dried food you have and where you plan to keep it. Plastic bags with zip locks can be sealed tightly, as well as jars with rubber rings and metal locking mechanisms. If you are storing the food in the basement, however, be aware that plastic bags will not keep out mice or insects. In that case, place the food inside metal containers with tight-fitting lids. Cool, dark and dry places are the best for storage...
1.Pack the food in the container as tightly as possible, after you are sure it has been thoroughly dried out. Glass containers are practical for storage because you can easily see if moisture has built up inside.

Check your dried foods regularly to make sure they are not moist, moldy or being invaded by animals. Storage times will be affected by the conditions in your house. In general, if the temperature is around 60 degrees, then vegetables will keep for six months and fruit for one year. If the temperature is 80 degrees, then those times will both be cut in half.

Only if its food grade. If its regular industrial salt, then no. Dont eat it. Its often got impurities and toxic metals in it in it because its being used on roads, and not to eat. So it might have other stuff in it. If you are gonna use rocksalt, use the food grade stuff, its safer.

I've got a grinder in the kitchen containing 250 million-year-old Himalayan rock salt that apparently now has a sell-by date.

So there is that.
