    From what I've read, the reason this particular tram failed was due to a communication error. The mining company told the tram maker that it would be used to haul salt, and so the tram maker designed the tram based on the weight of salt. But in actuality, the miners were sending brine (wet salt) which is heavier. As a result, they could only fill the tram buckets halfway, which reduced the profitability of the tram.

      Excellent observation. My understanding has always been: The engineer that designed the tram (which includes the all important motor horsepower and amperage load on the power lines) simply looked up the weight of salt in a common reference book and took no regard for the additional weight of moisture.
      I'm suspicious that this is the reason old images from the lake bed show the salt piled up in smallish mounds. I suspect they were desperately drying to dry the salt before loading it on the tram.

    Ok Brent, you scared the crap out of me. When you started going down the wash with no rope, it reminded me of a Mr Ballen video of a similar situation, where the experienced hiker went down a slick 25 foot wash and then the next drop was50 plus feet, straight down. The guy died there and wrote a goodbye letter on his cell phone which they read after he had died.... Don’t die on us, bro...please.

    Hey, here’s a really good tip for staying hydrated in the desert - soak chia seeds in your water when you drink it. Chia seeds absorb the water and slow releases it into your body as you digest it, rather than peeing it out hours later and losing all that water. It just keeps you hydrated for longer and is healthy- just a tip!

    I've mentioned this before in your channel, but no response before, I spent a good part of (and favorite part of) my childhood in saline valley, My grandparents lived in hunters canyon and were friends with all the folks that lived in the valley, the group of self proclaimed scientists that live right on the salt lake running experiments glen and Allen. All at the hot springs. jackass Andy and his kids and others. they even ran across Charles Manson a few times. I've hiked that path before. and spent some time at cerro gordo, some of my favorite memories are in the Saline Valley. Ive LOVED watching your channel it brings back so many memories.

      @@onelove9408 Yep as a rock climber I was thinking this. Or have two 60m ropes and tie the ends of both ropes together but then he would need a partner to share the weight. Place a sling around a solid tree or boulder, to act as an anchor point. Then double the rope on the sling. Rappel down both ends of the rope (easier if you are carrying a harness and belay device). When you are safely at the bottom pull on one end of the rope to retrieve them (pulling the ropes through the sling). Sacrifice the sling where it is for the rock Gods. Carry multiple slings and you can rappel multiple pitches. The biggest fear would be getting the rope snagged when you try and pull one end down, here it would be distress beacon time.
      With a rope, a partner who can lead climb and some trad climbing gear, it would be possible to rock climb your way back up if you dont like the look of the route down, if the rocks aren't too loose. But carrying a trad climbing rack would be heavy.

      I always bring rope, even if I'm not planning for a hike. Like ways blodstoppers et.c.. I have had use of these things on multiple occasions on other people before paramedics come, almost never on myself. I would also carry a knife if the police could understand the laws, it is only illegal to carry knife if it is with the intention of hurting other people. A knife in a secure package in your Backpack ain't illegal in my country (but a copper can't be expected to understand the difference)

    Hey Brent,
    Red Jeep guy here. Nice to see you make this hike.
    Last year after leaving Cerro Gordo I was in Owens Valley near Long John Canyon, below New York Butte, and I met a man who grew up in the Owens Valley. He had one arm, was a former firefighter, and had hiked from the top of the Salt Tram to the bottom of Saline Valley years ago. The biggest memory I took away from his story was the intermediate station with the electric motor that still had tools hanging on the wall. He spent one night on the hike and his father picked him up at the bottom. That was before satellite communication.
    Cheers!

      When we lose our fur babies, we experience the only downside of having them in our lives. The companionship they so happily provided is the thing we find ourselves longing for the most. Whenever I have gone through it I have found that it helps to think of the love we shared and to realize that I was very lucky to have had them in my life, for if I had not, there wouldn't be the treasure of memories I will always have to look back on. They are the source of so much joy in our daily existence that will never end as long as you remember them fondly, and speak of them often. They will always live inside your heart, so instead of mourning their absence, I try to celebrate the richness they brought me, and that makes it a bit easier to endure. I hope this provides you a small measure of comfort.

    You experienced the "wine glass canyon" effect. It's a result of the basin dropping down relative to the adjacent mountain range. The faster the basing drops the greater the elevation change and the steeper the canyon. You find these kinds of canyons all over the Basin and Range.

    From someone that done a ton of mountaineering and trail building, I would say you should invest in better footwear. When descending down a scree field, having boots with proper ankle support is really important. The hiking boots you have are more for trails and fields, and more flexible for comfort. This is different from mountaineering boots, which have a more rigid ankle and a shank. A classic Montagna sole is a 45-degree angle on the side of the sole for sidestepping a scree field. This is especially important if you are hiking with weight, as rolling an ankle is a bad possibility. Mountaineering boots have such good ankle support that you can legit put all your weight on one bent ankle and the boots will take the weight. Look at Scarpe Verde, Alico, La Sportiva, Mamut for good examples.

    Brent, just read your book and enjoying greatly you channel. In June 2009 my daughter Gabriela, Ben a friend of mine, and I hiked up Hunter canyon up to the Bighorn mine/Bighorn Spring (up the lonesome miner trail) where we camped. Then we took the "dozer" road up to the Inyo ridge and walked to the summit station. From there we descended the Salt tram through Daisy Canyon. Having explored the Salt Tram from that side from below on a couple of prior occasions we knew how to avoid the dry waterfalls and follow the unused trail. We made it back to the truck that we had left on the access trail on the Saline Valley from where we had started as the sun was setting. Was a grueling hike and unless you really know your way (and carry enough water) is quite dangerous. Love your style. Andres.

    This brought back memories of my late father and I hiking the "Ore Terminal Trail" in Big Bend National Park. I found this remote hike in a trail guide book and was intrigued by the history and convinced my dad to hike the rarely traveled trail through the desert. The ore tram, much like this salt tram, transported ore from mines in Mexico over some rough terrain to the terminal. From there the ore was loaded on to wagons and taken to Marathon. Much like this tram, there is still cable laying down or suspended from these anchor structures on peaks. There were still buckets laying on the ground. It just amazed me that people in such a harsh and difficult terrain were able to build such things.
    Thanks for doing this hike. It brought back some good times for me.

      Fun fact: I stumbled upon a chart with old british units of volume measurements. There really is a unit called a "butt". So if you ever wanted to know what a "butt load" is exactly: It was a unit used for wine barrels that contained ~477 litres. To clarify, 1 butt = 2 "hogsheads" xD

    This scared me but just goes to show, that challenging yourself will make you the best version of yourself you can be. It’s the hardest journeys that teach us the most. Thank you for sharing this. Keep your head up Brent. You’re doing a great service by keeping the history of this place going. You live in the most beautiful place in the world. Keep up the hard work buddy. Love to see it.

      So much room for sponsors its ridiculous. This guy needs a lot of "stuff" to help.

    Awesome filming, stunning images where you really can feel the history of that amazing construction. I just love how your videos are constantly evolving in production value. But please stay safe! I can't even imagine doing the hike you did in that temperature, I've driven through Death Valley and I was almost hit to the ground by just briefly stepping out into the 120 F temperature outside my AC cooled car, I'm sweating just thinking of doing a day long hike in extreme conditions in that temperature :)

    So I am new to this channel and my mouth is still on the floor. I kept screaming don't go down, but then I was screaming don't go up! So scary but wow! What an amazing journey to the bottom. Thank you for taking me to a place I would NEVER go. Ever. The notebook you found, people wrote in it and shared information with one another. A glimpse into a time and a glimpse of true grit. I am so glad you got down safely. 👏👏👏

      Imagine trying to get one of those out without a working tram, or a helicopter. Ouch!

      To restore the whole line would be both amazing yet extremely difficult, however like that one place in Texas, it could be converted to a gondola ride, however if its extremely dangerous to re-create it it may not be a good idea.

    It sounds like a close call. I wish you would be more prepared doing these discovery things. You are very foolhardy.
