2,000 mg of Salt is one level teaspoon.

This is what you should plan as a minimum daily requirement, per person.

If you are doing an op lasting week or two in hot humid weather, pack at least a teaspoon for each day.

A pinch of salt in your breakfast, tea or water, is all you normally need.

People almost never need additional salt, thanks to the typical American diet. Processed foods (like those eaten in the field) have more than enough.

In fact, most people need additional electrolytes like from the various -aide drinks only under very special circumstances - like if you're playing football in the summertime. If they didn't have lots of sugar and flavor in them, people wouldn't be drinking them the way they do.

I'm not a salt-nazi, but extra salt isn't a big concern physiologically for anyone I've ever seen, unless they do something really stupid (like try to flush the drugs out of their system).
