Container Ship Spill Beach Combing

Starting around the beginning of December, I started to find these foam rubber baby mats that I call the flying carpets of the pacific. The reason for that is birds had pecked hundreds of holes in each one of them. They must have rode on them like a flying carpet. Then in the beginning of January I found only on one day these bike helmets. I sent pictures to a person who posts these things on beach combing and, he said other helmets were being found down our Pacific Coastline. Then he gets back to me saying they are being tracked based on where they are being found. Now the manufacturer is reaching out to have some returned for study. I find that pretty cool and will do so soon. As for the rest of the finds just normal lost floats from the Pacific Ocean.

I appreciate those that care about mother earth and do thier best to pick up other peoples garbage. Thankyou.

[@beachreaper8138]

Sir, thank you for all the beach clean up you have done. My wife and I moved up to Washington and there is a lot for me to learn. I have subed to your channel and have watched your other video's. I will have to get out and help with keeping the beach's looking beautiful. Great job Carl

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

We normally have organized beach cleanups in the early spring. Last year was Easter weekend. We need one now because of the recent debris showing up on the Pacific beaches. If we receive a northwesterly blow for a day, we will have much more garbage showing up worse than we have already seen.

[@vf12497439]

Central Oregon coast, we’re finding bicycle helmets…. Lots of them!!!! 4-8-23

[@JimSuperwhite43]

Can you imagine floating out in the water and feeling something bump into you, turning around and seeing the top to one of those Mad max helmets/. Guaranteed heart failure.

[@nickmcgeachie4267]

The mats and helmets are from the Zim Kingston container ship. It caught fire off the west coast of Vancouver Island and lost over 100 containers of goods.

[@louisputallaz7556]

To all you ppls out there, every day is EARTH DAY, do your part and pick up your ENVIRONMENT 😊 !

[@MoreFormosa]

Appreciate your efforts removing beach garbage, a lot of it traps sea life and sea birds. Incredible how much stuff is on remote beaches around the world

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

This comment hits home. For Christmas I posted a video saving a shore bird caught in a net. I posted it on Xmas Eve. Two months after your comment. Thanx for the comment.

[@ghostmantagshome-er6pb]

Why is this so much fun? I like watching them mucking the Thames also.

[@stephenrothwell8142]

We can see and hear you perfectly fine sir. Good on you matey ❤😊

[@Laura-Kitty]

Wow, I've never seen so many floats on the Westport/Grayland beaches. The amount of trash you've found is really sad. My grandparents lived in Grayland and a good part of my life has been spent there. We still spend Summers there, I love the place.

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

I find my floats when there is a storm blowing from the northwest and has for a couple of days. I like looking for the glass floats that come in from those storms not the planted ones they put on the beaches in Westport during the spring. I have 13 in my collection. One is a 5 inch rolling pin glass float.

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

During the winter months I go out during storms and after high tides. The key is to go at dark and. early morning to find stuff. During the daylight hours only on an incoming tide.

[@burleism5158]

hopefully you'll find a nice bale of green bud, It'll make those beach strolls 10 times more enjoyable

[@sabbathz]

I'm just curious, why would you hide the name on the bouy's? Why would it matter if people knew who's gear it was?

[@seldoon_nemar]

the fact they are using those helmets to study currents is cool af I belive the first time someone thought to do that, it was a container of rubber ducks, and they learned a TON about how the ocean flows. Those helmets are so clean because they don't have any surface texture for anything to adhear to. there's nothing for the barnicals to grab onto to start growing on the shell or the plastics.

[@seboyaprimera3785]

Hubs said here a short while ago, a container ship lost about 30+ containers up in Port Angeles. There was a seriously low Capital Lake today and debris all floating where there actually was water for it to float.

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

I love the ocean areas. There is so much for me to do and to make videos sometimes not expecting to.

[@patrioticconstitutionalist735]

All that black sand you should've set up the high banker and start shoveling till you seen gold in the mats.

[@gordbaker896]

Very interesting. I think that one helmet is made to attach Leggo figures on it. Did you google FMP FARM re those floating cages?

[@crashland5711]

Flip Farm, it is cages for oysters. I googled it.

[@dawndixon402]

😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing this episode. And mega big time thanks for cleaning up the beach. Have you talked to the Department of Natural Resources or any of your government municipalities? That are in charge of beaches. And asked them if you can use their dumpsters. For the beach waste that you pick up. It seems like that's the least they can do.

[@mikestand714]

i'm a scavenger at heart would love to do this

[@goldendk9]

Good Job Joe.

[@csi1392]

in the old days the floats found on pacific beaches were made of glass

[@Widdy72]

Surely if you collect all the helmets and play mats and take them to the local council rubbish depot and explain you have been cleaning up the beach they would take them and discard them for free ?????? 😀😀

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

The State parks in my area at the beach approaches have mini parks and bathrooms with garbage cans. People do leave the beach trash at the garbage cans and, it is picked up by the park workers. If it is a big block of foam I'll leave that there as well.

[@jasonrainsbury2828]

I used to walk the beach picking up plastic mainly .So i can appreciate your efforts .

[@sherrimagness9040]

i agree with Joanna thank you for cleaning up

[@brijones]

lot of black sand on that beach you sure theres not gold there

[@sidschwan8031]

Thks for cleaning up the beach it's nice to see the beach is getting back to natural looking,wish there were more people doing the same thing.

[@SilvercreekAnimations]

6:17 Aren't thoes barnacles the real expensive ones?

[@John-wm6fg]

So Claims Barnacle Bill The Sailor at The Local Pub !!!! But The NAVY Claims That The Most Expensive One’s are Those That Are Scrapped Off The Fighter Ships , That Seamen Scrape Off For Punishment For Screwing Up and Breaking Rules , Over The Side With You Mate Hanging off a Rope , Like a Bar of Soap , 8 Hours Minimum maybe 6 in High Seas !!!!

[@garypollentine194]

The impending doom of our sea's the impending doom of our polluting ways nay they say but to keep them clean only to strife and toil in many ways

[@juneyshu6197]

Not our polluting ways...Their polluting ways. I certainly dont do this.

[@GalsOutwestTreasureHunting]

Such cool stuff. I would love to beach comb there. Did a container of helmets go overboard or what? Went to an island near Port Aransas, TX once and I called it garbage island. Also had tons of stuff off ships. It was awful. First time viewer. I would love to see more of this.

[@The-Real-Ando]

Good job mate.

[@benjaminhaaaaaaaa5210]

You are Great man.❤❤❤

[@kaynef6637]

You will be the best looking guy at the skate park 😂

[@ludo9234]

All that wood just waiting to be picked up for winter.

[@Vativ]

Not sure if you're still answering these comments but where is this? Is this Oregon or Washington?

[@lindawilson9485]

The play mats would work good as a weed barrier on the ground for gardening.

[@davidpacker117]

There are some really nice pieces of driftwood too. I enjoyed the video.

[@grumpy1311]

Good work. Be safe

[@Loreleifury]

Stop hiding the names of the bulk harvesters.

[@soho1164]

now that you're here why don't you take all things to clean up the beach well . dont stop you do a good job as well

[@pdterre5496]

Oh, the view of the endless beach. Thank you for cleaning up.

[@krishorst4734]

I thought they stopped producing those glass floats in the 70's?!

[@John-wm6fg]

[@dvd5542]

Good job bro!

[@---115]

Super Video, sehr interessant 👍🏻 Könnten sie das bitte auch mit Deutschen Untertitel machen? 🙏🏼

[@timhurd6855]

I hope you are carrying some bear spray or a 10mm. I saw several bear tracks.

[@digitalmusic4803]

Seems like a lot of black sand there, might want to pan for gold?

[@christophereverett5695]

at 2:50 those are oyster housing for when they start out

[@croatiansensation6062]

Thank you for doing this!

[@BobNchannel]

good job cleaning up.

[@lucky1u]

Hopefully animals haven't been eating them at sea.

[@j.c.isking2165]

Those aren't barnacles on that helmet, nor are they oysters or clams..... they're mussels. Neat finds though. almost 2 years ago I booked a couple charters from Westport for Albacore and ling cod which was a great experience and the fishing was exceptional too.

[@tuexss]

thx for picking garbage

[@leopoldprill2748]

I dont know in anyone cares but this Blankets with the Letters on it were used in a german survival Show called 7 vs wild .Ohne off the teams found such an exakt blanked on the first Day off the challenge .The found IT on Vancouver and hope Island in kanada

[@roy8460]

Ever find any bales of $100 bills ??.

[@robaldridge6505]

I hope you checked the dead oysters for their pearls...

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

I have a video out there on looking for pearls in limits of oysters.

[@jeanettewolfenbarger1256]

You ever thought of giving those children place mats to some organization that gives those mats for people that can't pay for them. You could clean them.

[@ManMountainMetals]

Cheap Chinese junk that has spent months in the sea. They're literally coming apart.

[@jamiemorgan4146]

I’m sure they’ll be right over to pick that crap up. 🤣🤣🤣 Pure Flotsam and Jetsam. Insurance claim.

[@nickmad887]

Thank you.

[@jonathangoodrich8762]

I could show you the speech down in Baja where when the big storms come in it pulls all of the trash and junk from the ocean from India ocean and also where China and Japan are and brings all kinds of glass floats and weird stuff up on the beach

[@coolinwithlaura4114]

Looks like you found it either a Walmart or an Amazon container that child's playmat is 15 to $30 depending upon which store you get it at

[@artthrower7773]

I live in Arizona, so we don't have the stuff you guys find. I can only find trash.

[@mr.zardoz3344]

Made in China.

[@vanillasmerk5742]

For freeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@comewalkwithus123]

$20 each those helmets

[@hannahrenner2810]

❤🫡

[@marthaball8029]

Where are u located? Fascinating video!

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

Westport Washington

[@artthrower7773]

That's very good that you're picking up trash as well as finding goodies on the beach 😂❤

[@louiswarmoth7354]

Those playmates look more like furniture moving covers.

[@BarbaraQuigley-k6k]

The pots u found were oyster cages and u would have a line of them all on roaps and a anker so they brake the shell bit by bit and keep there shape good for the byers

[@yoshinoyajones8924]

Ebay

[@lancegraham9870]

at a beach here in oregon theres people who plant glass floats on the beach

[@lancegraham9870]

those helmets are sold at wal marts

[@autotek7930]

Lol I just got my son the same exact helmet for his 3rd birthday

[@alanwilliams2452]

Guy up Alaska finds glass from Japan in the grass

[@F4Insight-uq6nt]

Birds and Flying carpets... 🤔

[@madelinejarvis7353]

Are you going to sell those things you find or give them to charity?

[@anneparsons3462]

You for picking up items on the beach

[@spencer123123123ify]

I found one of those same skateboard helmets with red spikes in the ocean. Sechelt inlet BC

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

In the last winter I found two that were unicorn bike helmets in broken and old condition as if it was from a different container

[@scottleese4999]

“ do my part?” Have the them pick it up. 😊

[@garywheeler7039]

Those play matts could be given to salvation army or day care places. If they have a hole, no problem.

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

More like hundreds of holes and a thin layer of plastic was separating from the foam rubber. I donated to the local museum.

[@bobclarke2705]

using the names you find, do you actually notify thrm and do they collect thier gear ?????

[@tomkeffer9861]

You had the town's name correct, except there is no Mc to it.

[@willywijtvliet6502]

super netjes dat je alles opgeruimd hebt aan het strand

[@Sam62254]

That's the filthiest beach I've ever seen.

[@CindysGems]

⭐️⭐️CLEAN THEM & SELL THEM‼️‼️‼️

[@shawnwright4129]

Fascinating video. The packrat in me says "wash those blanket things off and give em to people who need em". Not sure if that would even be possible.

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

They were full of holes. It looked like the seabirds used them like flying carpets of the sea. They are made of a foam rubber and, have a thin clear plastic that was coming off.

[@susanwright4108]

Fill that truck!

[@FundyisleLegacy]

Fill yours

[@calitech4217]

Couldn't help notice you only took the items that could get you$ and left the foam on the beach.....

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

No money just donated to the Westport Washington Museum for their display of things that are lost at sea. Too much garbage to collect by myself. When I cut up the bad play mats they fill up my trash can quickly. I do collect the stuff that I can reuse or give away but, not for money.

[@beaujoire]

Pollution 🥺

[@johnarizona3820]

[@ObO-sd1xg]

[@timothytice3074]

We the people

[@JoeResco4]

It’s an outdoor patio mat for camping

[@danielybarra8680]

lots of good loot out there

[@MattSmith-eh7qv]

messy

[@terrihowell3584]

Those playmats could easily be cleaned!!

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

There is a thin plastic film that is loose on most of the mats and, the birds rode them like flying carpets of the sea. The pecked hundreds of divots making the mats look like craters of the moon. I donated them to the Westports museum .

[@artthrower7773]

Looks fun, what do you do with all the stuff you find?

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

Most of the stuff is no good. I donated the mats that were in ok condition and all the bike helmets to our local maritime museum. The rest goes into the garbage. I also repurpose some of the plastic floats into planters.

[@fishingwithfoxxxy1371]

I've always wanted to do beach combing but idk wher to start

[@keithhodgson6489]

On a beach?

[@marthaball8029]

How do u get the barnacles off???

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

I pull them off. They also dry up and scrape off.

[@trumpetmano]

We used to find those Japanese glass floats in Hawaii as kids.

[@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297]

I have found only 14 small ones 2 inch up to 3 inches and one 5 inch rolling pin float. The collection I have has taken me 20 years to find.
