Cocoa butter companies watching this video feeling salty.
All the salt from LOL players are gathered here
if enough salt is harvested from the late, maybe aquatic life will return to it?
Butter and salt everyday... This guy is marinating himself little by little for years. His meat probably taste good
He probably use to do wrestling back in the day.
The pink lake is actually beautiful and the guys that work there are friendly. The tour was fun as well.
The women is picking up 30-40 kgs or 80 pound bucket and seem like nothing to her... She can probably lift the guy and top of her head
He speaks French But i have to close my eyes and concentrate to really understand lol
Excavator?
Not a single machine on sight but heaps of salt put together with hands👏👏👏👏👏👏
If this salty water damages his skin so easily it would turn white people to dust. Especially gingers.

These villagers are knowledgeable in their job and how it works. Offcourse they also knew the essence of the salt 👍
That food looks gas
The dangerous event physically hum because bit contrastingly follow during a offbeat greek. painstaking, mighty grasshopper
Lots of people saw Seydou's decent physique. All I saw was his wounds due to hard work. And the woman carries 6 tonnes of salt a day? Life is hard, and for some of us, it is harder. I hope you can build a better facility, improve quality, and be able export it to foreign markets. I wish best for the people of Senegal,.and salute you from Turkey.
does iodine soak in? because it seems like it's a coating and then the lady washes it off. So much for her not getting a goiter.
is super bad to cut yourself and get into that water.
I would hate to work there
I didn't come here to see the salt harvest, I just came to see the handsome African man shown at 0:40 :-D ha ha ha! I would gladly help him oil that great body
They got a woman doing the heavy part ....

i dont like when they speak in commercial language. To much salt kills you....
Can we talk about how beautiful these people are?
Thankyou shae butter pink salt and abs 😂
I LOVE SALT !!! 😍😍😍😍😍
the reason this particular lake is 'regenerating' salt is because it has been shrinking in size due to climate change. Water evaporates from the surface of the lake, causing the water volume to decrease. Because the same concentration of salt is dissolved in less water now, the salinity increases. Eventually, the salinity increases above the limit of salt that can remain dissolved, and the crystals of salt fall out of the solution. This salt mine is a mild benifit to what is fundamentally an ecological disaster
I'm feeling dehydrated just by watching this
Keyboard warriors complaining about the 'sanitary' level of the salt, as they inhale their fast food order... LUL
Salted chocolate immerses from the ocean.
Hey let's go to the lake with basket's and Collect salt Yeah it's that easy
Okay, pass me that shea butter. If harvesting salt can give me abs like that, than I'm in.

It's so nice to see their life and livelihood in this video. Thanks to this kind of people, we have salt in our foods.

I am so thankful for their hard labour.. they deserve much more for this type of hard work... salt is cheap the world should donate money to these poor salt farmers .. so they can afford proper waterproof clothes

Their French pidjin is, as a frenchman, a delight on the ears.
I'm a bit confused, how can this salt be 3x saltier than other salt?
As soon as I saw the guy oiling up with Shea butter I immediately came to the comment section for instant entertainment LOL

He's not only fit, but smart and knows his thing and knows how to inform..He even talked about his sieve. Wow, amazing people all of them.
Seydou meeting salty people: Oh, you think salt is your ally. But you merely adopted the salt; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the salt until I was already a baby, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING! The sea salt betray you, because they belong to me!
Free men shouldn't have to work in the salt mines. That should be for convicts.
he’s built different 🤤
Superbly shown. Very Risky Job.🌷

I would use a divers suit to protect my skin. That salty water is dehydrating them so much !!!!
These people work so hard I hope they make as much money as they deserve
I hardly learned anything. I was too distracted by Seydou's muscles.
