Will I make it through this infuriatingly dense forest before dark? [ENGLAND PART 4]
Added 2024-06-15 19:00:06 +0000 UTCDay 3 of my most odds defying mission to date is under way and massive lake crossing aside it's a case of rinse and repeat; 11 more miles of dense, tormenting pine plantations to be completed before the disastrous descent of darkness. This time we do have more moorland to break things up along with better weather, but the trees, both vertical and horizontal, would do their very best to slow me down and drive me insane.

Some good news and bad news for the patreon community:
Bad news: Next weekend will be a break weekend. An early baby arrival meant that I didn't get quite as much work done as I'd planned and because I don't want to compromise on quality, I need an extra week to get the next episode up to standard. E5 will hit your screens on the 29th of June.
Neutral news: $4 Tier people: I filmed something for you in the week, but it was a bit of a disaster, so I'm heading out tomorrow morning to have another go. The amusing yet satisfying final product will be with you around Thursday or Friday.
Good news: after 4 weeks off work (paternity) I am already clucking for adventures. I have some big ideas for the pipeline for this summer and beyond, which will result in memorable, satisfying content for both Patreon and YouTube viewer alike.

Congrats on the baby, hope all are healthy and doing well. Never a problem to postpone a bit, kiddos are unpredictable and wonderful, and family is your #1 priority!

2024-06-20 21:09:06 +0000 UTCHi Tom, congratulations on the new baby I hope it goes well for you, as a father of 3 it is definitely the hardest challenge I have ever faced, however I haven’t had to dodge angry farmers! I stumbled across your videos on YouTube 3 weeks ago and have binged them like a boxset ever since and now I’m a Patreon. Keep doing what you are doing as it’s riveting stuff and your sense of humour and controlled mischief is refreshing.

2024-06-18 13:33:15 +0000 UTCHey Tom, just a quick question, do you think that a mission across Slovakia would be anything feasible? Thanks

2024-06-17 15:36:48 +0000 UTCI think the good captions are missing from the reupload Edit: it's fixed! The captions are so well done and have slight jokes buried within...I couldn't rewatch without them

2024-06-17 02:01:20 +0000 UTC@geowizard Can you release a best of moments video where you show some of the unique moments in full? For example your fallen tree crossing. Would have loved to see your reaction improve and experience the entire thing.
Chris Shea
2024-06-16 22:23:05 +0000 UTCControversial take: Ben helping you paddle may arguably amount to a failure.

2024-06-16 15:00:17 +0000 UTCI've had to rerender and reupload this one guys as there were two mistakes in it. This means your YouTube comments will disappear so you'll have to recomment on the new one at 8pm (or at half time!) Apologies for this! sometimes things slip through the net.

2024-06-16 11:31:41 +0000 UTCEverytime I See you jumping in a river I remember that one Video about the Bolton Strid. Are you aware that thing exists? I assume So, as it's quite close to you, but I'd love to know for sure. It's probably more dangerous than a firing range

2024-06-16 08:38:48 +0000 UTCMaybe you should post the entire dense forest footage part as a patreon exclusive so we can feel like how bad it actually is

2024-06-16 01:52:52 +0000 UTCCongrats Tom & Verity! Hope mum & the little one are golden. Loved this episode, but who the hell planted those trees so close?! Can’t wait for the next, I did some geophysics during my archaeology degree in a field next to a live firing range and that was hairy enough!
Arrghjay
2024-06-16 01:51:45 +0000 UTCA firing range? You are a madman, Tom.

2024-06-16 00:13:12 +0000 UTCCongrats on baby Tom! I'm sure it will be your hardest challenge yet. Absolutely loving this series, thank you!
Naturally JB
2024-06-16 00:02:35 +0000 UTCAmazing episode. Those pine tree forests are something else. One thing I'm curious about, do you ever run into big spiders or other bugs? When I'm hiking around state parks in the US and go off trail, I almost always bump into some large unpleasant multi-legged friend.

2024-06-15 22:43:22 +0000 UTCThat's not bad news at all! Congratulations, Tom!

2024-06-15 22:42:34 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the next ep gunna be worth the wait hopefully see it before the impending edit removing the military firing range 😂
Sam Townend
2024-06-15 22:31:05 +0000 UTCI fucking love straight line missions, they make my year when a new one comes out. I think theres something about the amazing music, ambience and just overall raw feel of it that hits different compared to other creators. Perfect way to end the day!
Billy Richardson
2024-06-15 22:18:50 +0000 UTCsmall gear upgrade suggestion for any potential future missions: wrist strap for the GPS that you can tighten. will help avoid dropping it again and can also leave it dangling occasionally if you need both hands free!
Simian
2024-06-15 22:06:30 +0000 UTCNice work Tom! Is baby born yet? “If I walk through there, they could shoot me” he smiled, dreaming at the very thought of such an excuse.

tom davies
2024-06-15 21:16:01 +0000 UTCHave a bad feeling England will bottle it this time. A lot of expectation on the shoulders of those players..
tom davies
2024-06-15 21:15:28 +0000 UTCWow that is some turn around! glad he's doing well. Ours was only 2 days early but I had planned to do a lot of work in those two days! haha
tom davies
2024-06-15 21:14:38 +0000 UTCEven though it is in the next episode, I still can't believe he's gone for walking across the firing range. To anyone considering a straight line mission, I can tell you from living next to one for my entire childhood and knowing a lot from family and friends working there: DO NOT DO IT. If you ever thought something he did in these videos was dangerous, this is on a completely different level. This can be lethal for the most trained personell, and we have had several people die or get seriously injured, who were trained to look for unexploded material and gather it, because they havn't been careful enough. I am dead serious: Not the most precious of records should've done something like this and for once, I think Tom should really consider cutting it out and just don't talk about it. We have crossed railways far and wide when we were kids, but never have we set a foot in the areas of the firing range, and doing so publicy on YouTube will be more of a bad example than a rather simple high speed railway crossing (which is already stupid, but compared to this, its like a day in the park, especially since there were two of you which made it a lot safer to cross). Apart from that I wouldn't be surprised if you got in trouble for that as well if you choose to show it. Anyways. Congratulations on the baby.

2024-06-15 20:32:26 +0000 UTCI think he once said that will probably never happen, at least not in those states where they're allowed to shoot on sight when your on their property.

2024-06-15 20:31:09 +0000 UTCCongratulations to you and Verity! A new challenge awaits and I'm sure you'll both do great. And the dad lore is going to be epic. Not everyone's got a real adventurer as a dad. By the way. Why would anyone plant trees like that?

Anders
2024-06-15 20:18:37 +0000 UTCCongrats to you and Verity on the bambino. Babies seem to be arriving earlier these days, our little Verity (great name I’m sure you’ll agree) was 4 weeks early although it seemed like top trumps with other new parents with how early theirs arrived! Have you thought of any first Dadventures you’d like to take your little one on when they are a bit older?
Ryan Stevens
2024-06-15 20:04:06 +0000 UTCAnother fantastic episode, so glad you're past most of that forest now. And congratulations on the baby!
James M Errington
2024-06-15 20:03:13 +0000 UTCI can't believe the baby is already here! It feels like only a moment ago you told my boyfriend and I in a pub on the Isle of Man. Deepest congratulations to you and Verity both, do take the time you need with the little one.

2024-06-15 19:33:49 +0000 UTCDear Tom, Congratulaions to you and Verity for what will be your most exciting adventure! If I read that correctly, your child was born a bit too early. That happened to us as well. My Son weighed less than a Kilo and today He is 13, one of the tallest in His class and just the loveliest, smartest and happiest Person I have the Privilege to know. If I undeestood you incorrectly, please excuse my message - just wanted to let you know that it will be fine. Just in case. Love your Channel so much! ❤️
