I generally operate at a sodium deficit, so I would welcome the additional salt.
Unless you have health issues that warrant a limit on sodium, recognize that backpacking and hunting can be sweaty messes where a little more sodium for a few days can do more good than harm. There is a direct positive link between athletic performance and sodium levels. The trouble is there's no one-size approach, hence more buzz phrases such as "individualized hydration plan" that offer little real guidance.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense. Robert Frost

When on a true ‘backpacking’ hunt, Too much salt is the last thing on my mind, you need sodium, it can be helpful.
Just returned from a 10 day hunt and dinners were MH, darn good hot meal for 4 oz’s.

Yup, I certainly get that some extra salt will aid in fending off dehydration. Probably why the daily bacon and jerky set me just about right. I too operate daily on low sodium. There is no salt shaker on the dinner table and I rarely season anything I am cooking unless someone else is going to eat it. As a kid growing up I can remember the salt shaker was passed around the table every meal! I can immediately tell when I have had too much such as when having dinner at a friends or a cookout. The MH meals left me feeling like I had a brick in my guts, that's why I am looking to find a happy medium.
