When i was little i had a salt lamp in my room, one time i licked it and it tasted like salt 💀idk what i was expecting
I currently have a lamp like that 😂😂😂 so tempted to lick it lol
😂
I taste mine on a regular basis. It's yummy when not too dusty.
@@3chordwonder857 FRRR??
@@coconutzrule5935 if you have a crippling salt deficiency i guess
Don't be fooled. This type of mining is very dangerous. A cave-in is always on the back of these miners minds and getting trapped in there would be a nightmare since it would take a long time for a rescue.
its pakistan, no rescue is coming
No one watching this video told them self “damn I’d like to work that” no one is being fooled bud
Let's face it, if it caves in they ain't gonna bother rescuing them lol. These workers are worth less than mice

@@Pignificentyour name is not funny what your saying is not funny just do something else than hatting on every comments
64 degrees year around sounds wonderful for working. I imagine that’s the most favorable condition.
it's 17 celsius , that's good condition
Ignoring the fact that they get paid in pennies, and their safety regulations are equal to zero. Yeah I would like to work in a mine with stable temps all year round 😊
64 degrees?
@@AnonymousUser-og8jj Did you not watch the video?
That's wrong i live here its not that much
Wow - why can't all tractors to be that colorful? 😍
Riiight?! What a showstopper fancy truck! 🤩
absolutely don't they look beautiful 😍
Because people have a job to do rather than pretty up equipment
@@Hotmaildotcomz ah yes, I forgot: function must necessarily come at the expense of beauty or the labor gods will frown upon us all 🙄
@@Hotmaildotcomz do these people not have a job to do? Are they not working? You don't make any sense
Got a whole new level of respect 🙏 and thankfulness for pink salt and 💯 for the people who sources it 🙌👏🙏💖
Oh no it's so disgusting, if you only knew,and the extraction methods make it toxic. 🤢🤮
الله يحفظهم 🌿
great work,love for you from pak🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
I kinda wish creators would stop using elephants as a comparative weight. My frame of reference on elephants is very limited.
One elephant equals one hippopotamus, 2 sea otters and a half a gorilla. It can't be any clearer. 😂😂😂
They're mining petrified remains of titans 😂
You know too??
I'VE BEEN HERE! it's beautiful!
Its price per kg in Pak ?
Not when you know what it is. 🤢
It would be silly to compare this to a mechanical mining process where 100,000 tonnes per day of rock moved can be pretty common. But this is all manual, and so that is impressive.
Ok I'm only using elephants as a weight standard from now on
As people become more aware, the use of himalayan salt is increasing. I m proud to be export Himalayan Salt👌🏾
82 minerals in Pink Salt 👍
And lead and other neurotoxins. Get your minerals elsewhere.
Not much worker rights there. There can even be child workers.
Pakistan is rich in gems and minerals. These people are doing this to support their family. And pakistan has changed a lot in-terms of worker rights but these areas are very rural
Don't blame the workers please, they are desperate for work; they have family to feed. Blame the authorities, however. It's the authorities, many of which are foreigners who buy the salt in bulk, it's them that don't pay enough for salt and then in turn the workers don't get much protection either.
@@TAHIRMAQSOOD15 Then they should stop selling to them and find new buyers, or go and find other work?
@@Pajune Try finding reliable work in rural Pakistan without extremely good marketable skills, and you'll realise why these mines always have employment.
@@Ziess Never said it was easy, it's not easy in most parts of the world to get good price for your product.
Been there, they have a museum inside the mine like a 1/2 mile deep
yeah, they even made a small mosque in there whose walls are of salt. Our school used to do a trip there every other year.
Beautiful salt of Pakistan
that little clip they showed looked like they were being very hard on their bodies. i can’t imagine what that does after 8 hours much less weeks and years
I wonder if 8 hours is the typical shift. Lol
Thank you ❤
Oh lovely, I love gunpowder in my salt.
Well, this salt does have the reputation of giving you a charge.
Gunpowder is toxic
That stuff literally has radium, uranium, polonium, and plutonium. I don't think its good to digest.
The commercials just add to the nostalgia value of this as these are commercials I grew up with. Was born in the nineties but my love for the Andy Griffith show will never fade.
I love pakistan 🇵🇰
so what happens when they run out of pink salt to mine?
They go to the next mountain
They go 🔫🔫
Mining resource's are unlimited unless you're a climate alarmist activist.😂
Pakistan Zindabad
Yeah I’m definitely done eating pink salt in the future lol
as if the shoes you wear have better production process loll
@@terrorrealtv do you live life by constant logical fallacy?
@@CaptnBeeBop the irony of you asking this question.
why are you done eating pink salt.
Good but Very Very short !
It's literally called a UA-cam Short. They have a longer video.
@@WillInWestPalm Sorry I never saw the short bit in the title. Cheers.
Absolutely incredible, it all looks like my favorite gem- rose quartz! 😳😄🤗💗
I love miners
They need to design road worthy trucks that can back right up to the salt in the mine and only load it once. Or at least a trailer that can be lifted onto the frame of a road worthy truck.
Also contains lead and aluminium
“Pockistohn” 😂
That's how it's actually pronounced.
@@ishahakeem na
@@ishahakeemu on sone high level ganja
@@lifeaddict listen it's better than some gorah over annunciating it like PAH-KEE-STAN
It's Packa-stan you guys
oh I visited...❤❤❤
Fascinating
Giants blood pressurized with salt water
Ik this i said it too
Gunpowder ? I never heard about gunpowder used for mining .
More like Emolex, Dynamite, Donarit, Tnt,....
But clearly not Gunpowder .
Are you sure your Research is right ?
Poor people have poor ways... When gunpowder is what you have, gunpowder is what you use. Imagine being the guy who has to pull all the bullets out!
@@chrismills2063 if they really use gunpowder they probably just get the gunpowder itself whitout case and bullet
You really think they're buying and transporting tens to hundreds of pounds of gunpowder at a time through the mountains and desert? I see them carrying a 55 gal drum or 20 of 7.62×39 with little issues, powder doesn't shift and build static in a bullet casing, loose powder would.
I would imagine if buying pounds of gunpowder were an option, so to would be more conventional mining demolitions... But again poor people have poor ways my friend...
Think about the area we're talking about and understand that the Taliban don't reload bullets they buy them from surplus stockpiles.
I mean look at the video we're watching, there's no heavy equipment to scoop it up, they are hand loading the salt. They're not using pneumatic tools t break the salt they are using random metal rods they probably carry to and from work. I seriously wouldn't put it past them to have an old timer, woman, child off to the side pulling bullets out of casings and collecting the powdered, hand wrapping paper charges and getting shit done.
I love jingle truck art. Like on these tractor.
It's called pakistani truck art which is also found on trucks and buses
@@Saif-ry4ot It's not Pakistani and jingle truck art is what's its called. You scamming dog.
It's not himaliya salt it's Pakistan salt which india is selling with the name of himaliya even himaliya don't have any salt.
"that's about 157 elephants!" What the.. xD just give us the number and leave out these weird animal comparisons, elephants or hippos or cows, who cares.
Pocket stawn
Extra saltiness from workers sweat
😊
Khewra salt mines Pakistan
Lahori salt, sendha namak or pink salts is mined from mountain in jhelum, Brand name is Himalayan Pink Salt. .
The salt is great 👍🏽 for the miner’s lungs 🫁 unlike coal mines that is one ☝🏽 positive.
You should write the real name of this salt place
Khewra Salt Mine in Khewra, Jhelum District, Punjab, Pakistan
I still don't understand the idea of that one outfit for every single activity, all day long, for their entire life.
Because it's really comfortable to wear and replace
It is made in India in pakistan it is only rock
It’s a Pakistani 🇵🇰product not a india Pakistani pink salt
@@asgharkhan7331 dear if u import potato from france and makes chips there are chips made in pak or made in france ?
Sweat is added to extra salt
And cut hands and bleeding blood also added
Sent to dubai and later to india for processing and export.
That was a particularly *pretty* Tractor&Trailor! 😂
It's called pakistani truck art and js commonly found on pakistani trucks and buses
If people only knew what that really is 😮
Ginats ccorrect?
What a relief they werent greedy and were generous enough to leave 50% of the salt
“Several minors work in the mines” -HERPERT “did Someone says minors”
The train takes minors deep into the mountain 💀💀💀
U mean across the world
Smoking while mining table salt? Ugh we really cant trust any source
Women! Where you at? Think you should be in here too. Atleast drive the train
"WOMEN NEED TO BE IN MORE TOP CEO POSITIONS!!! ITS SEXISM THAT 95% OF TOP POSITIONS ARE MEN!!!"
Women☕️
Did u know that these men have families, and they work to support them?? Ik shocking. But the most shocking thing is; do u know who takes care of that whole family, their children and elderly?? THE WOMEN. Take as much time as u want to swallow that one. Ik its unbelievable.
Women will get r@ped if they so much as go near that mine. This is Pakistan
Yeah, we're eating giants. They're cutting down the giants. Do your research on that song you're welcome no wonder so millions millions old salt
Eating mountains😂
It's funny... himalayas rock salt doesn't come from the himalayas at all 😆 🤣
I wonder if this salt was seen as inferior before it became trendy
It’s been mined since alexander times
@@lifeaddict i wonder who first licked a rock and thought "Hey, this tastes nice"
@@kimbrolyy Alexander's horses
Hello sir I am also supplier of salt Tablet if you're interested then I can give you all the details about the product and price of the product.
So its a limited resource and everyone all over the world is using it. For how long?
I don't want gunpowder in my salt. I'll stick to sea salt.
You mean the salt with microplastics?
air too dry, they got no sweat on them
Finite resource...
To think this was once a silicon-based human.
That isnt salt its left over nephilam bodies
Earth in the year 2500 onwards i’m gonna suffer
One they used all the resources then what will they do
*FREE IMRAN KHAN* !!!
🇵🇰🙏☮️🇨🇦🍻
That’s a bunch of kids being put to work
It's 1500ton salt extracted in a day
OMG!. EVDNTUALLY THERE WONT BE ANY MORE MOUNTAINS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭!!!!!!!
I listened to it without video and thought wtf
Wait this country is still running?
😂😂see your self in mirror then comment
Lindus joker 🃏
Notice how they are all skinny. I wonder why. 🤔
This isn’t the Himalaya
300 minors 💀
300 minors damn this is R Kelly’s dream job
Why not simply destroy the mountain and extract all of it out.
They’d keep more salt if they didn’t throw it around knocking chunks off.. can’t waste that sht
Why not just find 157 elephants?
सेंधा नमक 😈
Ah yes in a 3rd world country where Osha is just the name of the guy down the street...
300 minors…
Хирот кобул рлс ес
“Mountain” not “Moun-ain”
300 minors 😞
Кобул бела рлсс
ugh cmon fahrenheit
Jeez. Mass production is disgusting.
Then the salt expires in 3 months....
Expires or "best before" ends? Because salt doesn't actually expire. All salt and sugar packaging in my EU country notes: "kept dry in room temperature, practically does not expire".
Why what's rong with you people
everything
Yeah that's true
Don't forget to mention the man from India who buys it all and marks it up 10x then sells it to western markets.
Ban kar dia ha tum
Lundian par 😂😂😂😂Bahot Kama ley tum lundian na Pakistani product ko apnay nam sa bech kar 😂😂😂
All for pretentious food
Nah, it's all about the Michigan salt mine. You can keep your Iranian salt. I seen how their people cook food in the street 🤮
Himalayan salt is far superior to Michigan salt but okay Benjamin Smith 💀 How many Michigan salt lamps do you see? How often do you see Michigan salt even sold? Please inform me.
What kind of elephant a healthy one or a cracked out elephant?
This is Pakistan, so they mean starved and abused elephants, not like healthy American elephants
The real “manufacturer” here is Mother Nature.
