borax is also used by blacksmiths. it's the "glue" for sticking two molten pieces of metal together in forging. Joey Van Der Steeg, Alec Steele and others on ytube...where hot stuff is cool.
It's a flux not a glue it keeps the oxygen off the iron while it's hammered together
@@scottmccluremcclure3916 hence the quotation marks. a metaphor of sorts...
I have seen the wagons in person during a parade in Hailey, Idaho. They are very large with a wheel height of almost 8 feet tall. A few years ago the wagons were restored by Engals Coach Shop in Montana. The video is worth the watch.
It's also good for vegetable garden to keep bugs from eating the leaves, used coffee grounds works good to keep the bugs out of the soil.
Yes!!
I remember my mom washing clothes with Borax when I was a child. Nice blast from my past! I always hit like before you all start to talk cuz I know I’m going to enjoy the video!💕
Thank you for the quick history lesson. I grew up with borax soap and Lava soap. A lot of the old western shows on black and white tv were sponsored by 20 Mule Team Borax. Take care and stay well.
Boy been so long I forgotten about Borax but I remember my grandmother using it all the time, when I come down can we go on trips like that you all go to the coolest places. Until Friday God bless you all.
Wow this is perfect my little girl and I just made borax crystals. This is a great way to complete our little project. Awesome!
Wow. I lived in the Barstow/Lynwood area back when I was in 2nd grade, and never knew about mining borax history. I do know that back when we were living there, 1966, PG&E power company polluted the water tables and wells there. That's what the movie, Erin Brockovich was all about, staring Julia Roberts.
I REMEMBER THE COMMERCIALS THAT RONALD REAGAN USED TO DO FOR 20 MULE TEAM BORAX. IT WAS IN THE 50'S IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. HE WAS THE HOST OF A COWBOY SHOW AND THE 20 MULE TEAM BORAX WAS THE SPONSOR. THOSE DAYS ARE GONE NOW.
In the early 60's my Dad drove the family for hours into the bush and if we asked Dad why he just laughted and said 'for Mothers washing'
We trailered a heap home. My family used it for numerous things for at least 30 years.
As a child I watched "Death Valley Days" religiously with my grandfather. We loved the old "true life" stories they presented.
This is a great video, Well done. Thank you for the history and the beautiful scenery.
When did you visit? I ask because its currently summer and Death Valley is very dangerous this time of year.
1/8TH TSP. mixed with a glass of DISTILLED WATER, will eliminate "bugs" from the intestines. Can't hurt will you; I accidently took a full tsp., thought it tasted a little soapy, but did no harm other than getting rid of those critters out of my system.
They were the cleanest miners ever! lol
I couldn't help but think of Borat...lol
borax is used as a flux by black smiths when forge welding, and its used to bring impurities to the top of a crucible when smelting various metals.
I loved watching those shows. I like catching the reruns every once and a while. Thanks for the history.

Very interesting to learn about Borax! I had no idea where it came from. Now I wonder if there are other places that it is mined, and how it was discovered in this mine in the first place.
Did you know that they have helium mines? Most people have no clue where helium comes from.
I had no idea either🤔
Wowwww. Such beautiful area.
Apology. Did not know viewers need to watch commercials fully for you to benefit... am I the only one in the dark? Promise to be a better subsctiber....💚💜😎
Don't forget to stop at Mitchell Caverns, Amboy, and Kelso!
Thank You. This was a Spectacular Video. I will read the box on the next borax I purchase.
I am really loving the treat of 2 videos a week. THANK YOU :) :) :)
My Great Great Grandfather hauled Borax with his 20 mule team. He also brought supplies into Bodie and other areas.
Thanks family for this video, as also didn't know that Borax was mined for. Those poor mules though.
Wow!! I've been there!! Was like 50 yrs ago, but I'll never forget the trip mom took my sister and I on across the whole of America. If not mistaken, it was 124 degrees when we were in Death Valley, whew! When we stopped at the only tourist building/oasis in the Valley, we didn't know whether to drink the water, or throw it on each other, so we did both! :)
If you take highway 58 from Barstow Ca as you drive west towards Tehachapi you will find the twenty mule team rd and the borax mining site in full operations I use to drive semi trucks and the trucking company I worked for use to pick up borax in containers to send it overseas to other countries
Nice coincidence you guys talking about it and me and my former company use to deliver it
Nice one guys
🌺✌peace✌🌺
I use Borax at home for laundry. I actually never thought about where it came from, I just always have it on hand. Thanks for the history lesson!
Hey guys I just seen this video of a flower keeping it's color pour into shape you want and a little bit of epoxie and then add flower face down with what's left of the epoxie with whatever color glitter stars mix well add to form a let it dry pop it out beautiful my family calls me Cordy Tercero from Lubbock Texas 👵🦋🌛
If this was a 1 hour video i would watch it!!! I would watch anything you make!!
I had no Idea where Borax came from. I use it when making laundry soap. I will be looking at my Borax box differently from now on ...lol. Thank you for another educational trip!!!!
they used borax for smelting gold and silver to get the impurities out and it used as a flux to make damascus steel!
Thank you so much for a bit of History. When I was younger I watch the tv shows with sponsor 20 mule team Borax.
check out engles coach works in Montana. He built a borax and a water waggon for the 20 mule team historical society,
Thanks, I knew about borax soap as we used it when I was young. Did not know it was mined. Great information.
As a child (in the UK) my grandparents used borax and honey for mouth ulcers.
Hey Guys! I miss you. I didn't get your show on the 26th of June. Did I miss something?
oh my gosh. Now I feel pretty silly. Today is 26th of June. I have not missed you at all.
I'm not sure exactly what Grandma used it for but she always had a big box of it either under the sink or in the bathroom somewhere. God this brings back memories as a child. Thank You!!!
Thanks for the little virtual vacation. Love history.
Thank you for taking us along! With some people trying to erase history... we need to visit and learn as much as we can about these places before they are gone.
Borax is such a good oxidizer because one the sodium borohydride in the borax. Very interesting video.
In my case, it’s the only thing that’s gotten rid of roaches and other bugs. I don’t thinks it’s safe for small pets, yet it’s a breeze since it dries out the carcasses of bugs so, nothing to pick up after!
I use borax to wash my whites and clean my washer!! I knew the history from the box because I use it but it’s great to see the beautiful area.
I use borax with my other laundry detergent to help get out stains. Love it.
Thanks for the interesting little video, always love to see what you folks are up to.
You all should have on bow ties like the History Guy today, good job as always. :o)
No mention of the borax conspiracy :) great trip thank you
My grandparents used borax in the yard for slugs!
Borax mixed with powdered sugar makes a great non-toxic way to get rid of ants.
Remember the "Dinah blow your horn "song?
I make my own laundry detergent using borax
That was a short video. I WANT MORE!!
It's these little details that make history so ineresting. :)
Very interesting. Borax is still used as a great cleaner.❤
Very interesting neat video. Thanks !
Yeah Both My Grandmas Always Had The Boxes
Of Borax Around As A Cleaning Cleanser!
Cool Stuff Thanks
For Sharing!👍🏻❤😁
I forget to tell you to put the flower in a plastic bag or rubber
You’re all just wonderful!
Good clean fun. Now that’s hot.
Is it just me or are your videos getting shorter?
I still use borax in my laundry.
that was food for thought thanks
Interesting thank you
It's a trace mineral with claims of being a useful treatment for numerous things.
Love the history on borax.

EngelsCoachShop did the entire building of new borax wagons and tank wagon on his TH-cam channel. Lots of footage of it harnessed to and drawn by 20 mules.
That was educational something I always wondered about. Thank You. : ) peace
If you've river fished for salmon or steel-head much, you've probably used Borax to cure the row for bait.
Ewww cool haven't been back to death valley since I was on a college field study, for my natural resources management degree!
Thanks for sharing. Love hiking and history. Yes you can eat it to
Thank you some great information
Cool!

lol I've heard the word but I don't think that's a product or substance we even have in Europe.
check out Joey Van Der Steeg...
@@monabale8263 Interesting, thanks. A current day blacksmith? Insta-sub :D [edit] and hey, he's Dutch!
@@antimonycup7066 ka-chow! (from the movie cars...:D) and welcome!
also Alec Steele.
@@monabale8263 Sorry, the movie Cars is a bit after my time, so I don't get your reference. Now if we're talking about the *song* Cars by Gary Numan... then I can relate xD
