" I'm saving a fortune on shampoo" 😂😆

All that water and no fishing gear.. 😢

I love your ship videos. Please make way more videos. Put ads on ya nut

@JoeFranta- omg so I have a story for you! This video brought to mind the last time my dad shipped out to Egypt. My mom was so angry with him that she repacked his seabag with her clothing, including frilly undergarments. Dad, a bosun, never bothered to check his bag. Holy 💩 when he did, he was infuriated & had to buy clothes at the next port. In the meantime, he borrowed clothes from his childhood friend and shipmate - AB Carl Goff. Be safe out on there. Love the channel!

I am a farmer and I LOVE your channel Joe. I can live vicariously thru you!

How about sunscreen? Protect your skin, your future self will thank you.

Plain and simple! Great video and channel. Wonderful to see you again. Love you brother😊

Got my acceptance to the SIU program last week!

I traveled for work for 25+ years and was constantly exposed to new people and their local bugs. I found that rinsing my sinuses with NeilMed saline twice daily to be my best preventative treatment. Also keeping my flu shots and other vaccinations up to date of course. As always, I enjoyed your vlog today.

Awesome joe, thank you ❤

Pumped to see you posting again! You've got a serious talent for documentary filmmaking.

Thanks! Great to see this on Day of the Seafarer 2024. Grateful for what you and all the other seafarers.

Thank you Joe !! Great VID!!!

great to sea ya back Joe

I had to take a bunch of uniforms and a pea coat. There was a lot of rules too.

Absolutely brilliant can’t think of anything you have missed. I am well retired, so don’t need this intelligence. However, I can absolutely gel with the info in this UA-cam. I hope the newbies take note.

I fell in love with baby wipes as I did convoy escort duty in Iraq .

Man, I've missed your videos. Welcome back!!

Evernote, you can scan/photograph all those documents and you can keep them forever. Free version is okay get the pro for about what a Spotify/Netflix costs. It does so much more. It's a must.

👍👍

Cool

Great pickup line. "Want to see what's in my seabag?"

It’s about damn time Joseph! Thanks for the video, great stuff.

i have class this july and i know ima be on a ship after phase 1 but the paper of stuff i need to buy doesnt include half the stuff u talked abt. should i do some last minute shopping or does the school provide with the little stuff?

Can you use Wifi or network on the ship?

NAVY Slang...a young sailor is said to not have a lot in his sea bag...not experienced.

Glad to have ya back man. When are we headed out to sea

Thanks for the video, I usually learn something and always enjoy watching!

Hadn't heard the word slop chest since I was a kid, Dad was a merchant mariner. Funny

Regarding lack of hair Joe, 'Grass doesn't grow on a busy street' Nice informative video thanks for posting. Pete

2 flossers for 4 months 🤣 good joke

Thank you SO much for showing me a lifestyle SO far removed from here - an old town in England , nowhere near the sea where old people play croquet and bridge - I can escape in my head ! thank you the vids are brill

1:17 seconds in, that was funny. Seems like you weren't sure which hand signal to use. haha

Oakley's are considered safety glasses.

Dutch flagged tanker captain here. Thats the reason why I always carry an ample amount of tylenol and advil when coming on board. Cost me a few dollar per trip and saves a lot of hassle.

I would pack Imodium imagine if you are in the midst of a strong storm and you say "i'll be back in 10 minutes I just have to take care of something" hell no Imodium all the way.

If your working internationally I would check your phone is unlocked and can take local SIM cards.

Depending on the vessel you sail, bring your own laundry detergent. If the vessel has self-serve laundry, they don't always provide detergent. Pods or the dried detergent sheets are great when traveling.

I started following you when I started bridge watch in port hawkesbury Nova Scotia, just so happens you were leaving the port at the gravel pit. Thanks for your tips and tricks, I would of never knew about the boots on airplanes now I know thanks to you. By the way I am half way done my cadet time.

Waterproof porn magazines - for areas with no WIFI

On the boat we carried a flashlight on our belt and multi-tool. A good knife in pocket. Head lamp for night stuff. Add 1 small container of sea sick pills and some ear plugs.

My guy can't even keep a straight face talking about the movies on his hard drive

good to have you back... more frequently I hope....

Please post atleast once a month Joe!

This was a real eye opener! Absolutely fascinating. Thanks!

I did a contract on a cruise ship as the sound guy in the entertainment department. (Just one. While I LOVED it, it wasn't a long term solution for me.) I completely overpacked. While I still only had one case and a backpack, I used only about 2/3 of what I brought. Great list!

Joe, good to see you back!

I would always recommend a good multi tool you can stick on your belt, a pair of eyeshades/eye mask and an extra pair of shoelaces for your work boots/sneakers or any other shoes with laces. They always break at the exact wrong time and you never have access to a decent replacement. Two things I always keep on me, everyday, everywhere is a small flashlight (120 lumen ThruNite Ti2) and a Gerber Dime multi tool that fits in my jeans watch pocket. The flashlight is small enough to keep out of the way, can hold it in your mouth for two hand tasks and puts out a very good amount of light. The Gerber Dime, small knife, pliers, package opener, bottle opener and either tweezers or toothpick.

Very interesting and informative video Joe. Glad you are posting the ship videos again. Keep them coming. Cheers.

Nice to have you back on youtube....
