Batteries in my pickup bucket died at hour 2 of a 5 hour cleanup shift
I spent 45 minutes untangling fishing line and microplastics from a kelp pile by hand because my rechargeable headlamp gave out before sunset, has anyone found a cheap way to carry spare power on the sand without getting it ruined?

Two hours is nothing, that headlamp dying on you is on you not the battery. A decent 18650 cell runs 4 to 6 hours on low and costs 8 bucks, so bringing one spare means you are covered the whole shift. I have done 6 hour night cleanups on the rocks at Davenport with two cells in a ziplock in my chest pocket sweat has never killed one yet. Sand is only a problem if you bury your bag in it, which is a choice, not a law. Learn your gear before you blame it.
