How 60,000 Metric Tons of Salt Are Harvested from One of the World’s Saltiest Lakes — Handmade

Wow, I want to buy shea butter NOW 😮 I want flawless skin like him!
These people work so hard. But they are so strong and so wise. I really admire what they do. The food that lady was cooking looks so delicious!! Mmmm!!!
Bet SEA gamers take a bath there
I LOVE this guys comments at the end . . . "We want our Senegalese people to come visit the salt lake to see how hard we work to get the salt.
That way they won’t complain when they must pay 200p for a sachet of the salt." . . . in the US we should encourage more people to visit farms
to understand better what goes into producing the food they eat.
He soaked in the salt we should eat ?
Hottest sea salt harvester ever
That’s amazing. I love seeing how the world works outside my own life
So this is reddit salt mines…
The lady said in a good day she can carry 200 basket 🧺 a day so 1 🧺 =30 kilograms it’s 6 tonnes a day whaoo and guy brought all that harvest out of the lake strong 💪 genetics
Huge respect and love to this salt Making man
seydou is the real salt bae not the one who wear shades
0.32 dollars for 25 kg of salt is just I don’t know… not the price you pay for anything that is 25 kg in grocery stores. It’s not even comparable.
The person filming really said,
"Were gonna need a shot of you applying the shea butter… yeah, just a few more for b-roll…"
REAL RICH WEALTHY PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
Would you like some salt that’s been walked on by poor blk people? 🧂
Imagine splashing your eyes here.
Take this video down. My wife might watch this.
I’m sure all the ladies enjoyed the shea butter show 😉
the salt have added flavour of workers sweat
This might be an interesting place to attempt to grow artificial manganese metal nodules or something analogous. They don’t have to be the size of a potatoe to be profitable.
You guys need goggles
U brolic bro and shiny but a flat bottom boat capsizes faster than a Vee shaped haul.
I lost all intellectual concentration at shea butter.
Hello Ladies. Look at your man. Now Back to me. Now back at your man. *Now* back to *me.* Sadly he isn’t me, but if he just started exfoliating using Pink Salt he could have skin as firm and supple as me… I’m in a lake.
This guy is jacked as hell compared to 80% of American males
200 XOF for a 25kg sachet? like 1/3rd of an single USD?
here in Norway we can buy Pink Lake salt from some few shops and they are around 99,- NOK per 500gr, meaning 4950 NOK for an 25kg satchel, and 200 XOF is 3,12 NOK.
Thats what people buy. Salt thats been walked all over and sweated on
Now when I eat food with salt in it I gotta put some Shea butter in my mouth
Nice documentary, the workers is talking and not some foreign ‘expert’
Hard work man bless y’all
I enjoyed this video very much 😍😂
Very cool. Plus the guy harvesting is shaped like a superhero
Im using it.i love it
That salt looks crazy good. Can you purchase it outside Senegal?
Can we take a moment to realize how strong this man is doing this job!
What a life That’s what we looked like before domestication.
The lake was part of the sea in the 15th century and they had a drought in the 1960s. So what happened in between those years??
I always thought that pink salt came from the Himalayans.
To see the work that makes basic products humbles me. I get the final result of their labor, and I respect those who do the work that I am not able to do. It is not just the salt, it is all the work that takes people to do that makes it possible to live. Working gives people pride in their lives, as long as those who do not respect work or the workers can be kept away from the ones doing the actual work.
In addition to salt harvesting, Seydou Touré is also a professional wrestler in Senegal
Why leave the pink salt in the sun?
They could make a lot more money selling to western wholesalers who would sell that to the health junkies
Different colored salt sells for a lot more than white salt normally
0:53 Totally not pandering
bro is built like a god
The genitals must be hurt, many places of the skin are definitely not protected by the butter. hope there are better protections.
Hii seydou😊
I though pink salt came from Pakistan, mineral salt? These people work so hard and “look” from video to still be so poor and under privileged???
I had no idea. Thank you Senegal..
I salute for the workers and especially to the harvester… Plus he is a hottie!
Good👑 job 👑sir👑 I Like 💕you 👑good
I can’t be the only one wondering how much salt gets added to the lake _via balls._
Apart from scooping salt out of Lake, I’m pretty sure this guy has made salivate numerous ladies, teens, ladyboys, gays and milfs. His’ seems a big rod.
