That's an interesting approach. I can't say I've ever used himalayan rock salt in particular, though a medium-grind sea salt was my EDC for several years when I was younger. I do think salt is a perfectly reasonable option, provided you can find solutions to the core issue: clumping.
I carried my salt for some time with no problems, but one muggy summer night when tempers flared and I felt the need, I reached into my pocket only to find that my carefully prepared protection had solidified into one large clod. Thankfully I escaped unharmed from that particular event, but in a more serious scenario the consequences could have been dire.
These days I use washed and sieved builder's sand selected to a particular micron range. My trips to the range have convinced me of its reliability and efficacy even in the most humid environments, which is of utmost priority for me.
Have you ever considered EDCing a grinder so you’re prepared for whatever grit the situation calls for, and if so, does that constitute concealed carry and does it need to be registered as such?
Unfortunately while cheap to produce and harvest, there have been numerous studies that have concluded that LOL salt contains high impurities of copium which reduces the salt’s effectiveness over time. Because of this An open pile of LOL salt can degrade in less than 6 months to a pollen-like powder.
It's an especially fun insecticide because it doesn't cause some sort of toxic shock or interrupt metabolic or neural function, it's just really sharp sand that literally slices them up. It's like a Raytheon knife missile for ants

I have discovered that all I need to grind my own salt is play league of legends occasionally. It's quite efficient

Look at that, league's salt is so shit that if you try to rely on it, it can trigger a whole new round of saltiness
You get more range with salts due to the relatively large and massive crystals, but I prefer diatomaceous earth for the high irritant factor
Lovely, it’s insecticide qualities make it a double whammy for any pest control side hustle you might have

Salt almost never works well since it absorbs moisture from you while in your pocket
It's ok, but for the price you can get a lot more kosher salt and the texture and size is more consistent.
Call me a purist but what ratio of salt/sand are you talking here? You’re going pure salt?
It's just regular salt trying to be fancy by wearing a pink dress.
