Blindfolded and Stranded! Can I find my way home using no map, compass or main roads?
Added 2025-01-18 20:02:28 +0000 UTCGood evening Patreons! here's a treat for you this fine Saturday eve. Part 1/2
Subtitles available
I'm known mostly for two things: My ability to hop hedges and my ability to figure out (virtually) exactly where I am. But what would happen if we combined these two talents? How would I fare if I were blindfolded and dumped 20 miles (as the crow flies) from home with no means of navigation and the inability to use main roads?
Can I use the sun to help me navigate? Will I recognize any distant landmarks on the horizon? Will I make it home before dark or wind up further away than where I started? In this two part video we answer all of these burning questions and in doing so get stuck up a tree, get nutmegged by a wood pigeon, help a farmer search for a lost cow and generally have ourselves a truly top tier adventure.

This was basically an 8 miles wide straight-line mission.

2025-01-25 15:46:55 +0000 UTCThis is a great idea Tom, good on you. Oh…and If you’re ever in the states and need anything in the Kentucky area, I’m your guy. Just message me.

2025-01-23 18:46:09 +0000 UTCi was taking the train up to manchester from london the other day and whilst looking out the window at the farms near stafford i wondered what the odds were of seeing Tom wandering around somewhere, then this video came out

2025-01-20 00:11:24 +0000 UTCGreat video as always. How you do it I don’t know but I am hugely shocked by it every time

2025-01-19 23:00:51 +0000 UTCBrilliant video, loved it. The side quests were also great, although I am disappointed you didn't find the lost cow. Maybe you should have a rule that the mission is only partially complete if a clear and obvious side quest isnt complete 🤣

Trelleon Ginting
2025-01-19 15:19:12 +0000 UTCAbsolutely wonderful content Tom! Does make me wonder: will you ever do a retry of your Geoguessr IRL video, because you did not actually get a perfect score back then
Ewoud van Aalst
2025-01-19 11:30:50 +0000 UTCGreat video 🤩 I feel sorry for you Brittish guys that don't have the "Allemannsretten". The "allemannsretten" in Norway is the right of public access, allowing everyone to roam, camp, and enjoy nature responsibly on uncultivated land.

2025-01-19 09:01:09 +0000 UTCTwo videos in short succession. Feels like Christmas again! Can't wait for part 2. What a fun adventure.
Stuart Duncan
2025-01-19 01:52:30 +0000 UTCHi Tom, great concept, great video! Can’t wait to see part 2. This may be a baffling comment but just wanted to note it’s lovely to see a version of the counties map that I made in 2004 for Wikipedia show up in one of your videos! I had no idea 21 years ago that when I arbitrarily picked out that one shade of pink I’d be seeing it in one of my favourite YouTubers’s videos! It’s a silly coincidence I know, but…
Abigail
2025-01-19 00:59:35 +0000 UTCGreat concept for a close to home adventure, might have to try it in my neck of the woods! Can't wait for part 2!

2025-01-19 00:57:54 +0000 UTCThis is brilliant Tom, would love to see you do this in other places too!
Jacob Jones
2025-01-19 00:17:02 +0000 UTCLoved that, thanks Tom. I knew Moreton and Gnosall and have fmily in Penkridge :-). Oh, and for my day job I was encouraging people tp pray for Penkridge yesterday :-); https://d3hgrlq6yacptf.cloudfront.net/5f3ffdd147bb3/content/pages/documents/prayer-diary-wb-2025-01-12.pdf . Finally, great inspiration from Claire Bear :D

2025-01-18 23:35:28 +0000 UTCnow do it again with the blindfold on

2025-01-18 21:06:04 +0000 UTCThere's like 15 ways of describing what you mean in less words. My try: Using natural features how straight would the line be?

2025-01-18 20:32:44 +0000 UTCTom! I had an idea pop in my head while I was hiking and I just needed to make sure you heard it. Okay here it goes: Basically you do a a straight line mission. You know your start point and end point. The catch is that you do not have a straight line to reference whilst on the journey. You have to attempt the straightest line possible using only your navigational skill. It is only when you have finished that you will then able to view the results and see how well you've done. (or something similar) Idk just thought I'd share :)

2025-01-18 20:31:20 +0000 UTCThanks Tom

2025-01-18 20:21:06 +0000 UTCCooool, similar to my idea I posted in the "tenner in my pocket" part 2 post. Can't wait to watch 👍
Simon Skittrell
2025-01-18 20:14:18 +0000 UTCExcellent, I was wondering what to watch tonight 😁

2025-01-18 20:08:19 +0000 UTCCan you post the url here in the comments. Patreon app gives me a bot sign in timeout so I cant play it.
Julius
2025-01-18 20:07:19 +0000 UTCI remember when you and Verity did this similarly before. Bloody hell that was a while ago. Thanks for another, hope you’re well! Edit: I’m going to be saying Cannock Chase in my sleep
