The most brutal day in my straight line mission history [ENGLAND PART 3]
Added 2024-06-08 19:00:06 +0000 UTCEvening all Patreons! here's part 3 of the mission across England. Enjoy and have a top weekend!
My most ambitious adventure to date continues and it's out of the farmland of Day 1 and into the remote, rugged forests and hills of Day 2 and beyond. 10 miles of pretty much solid pine plantations was the impossibly tall order of the day, and with utterly miserably freezing weather, I was guaranteed to be pushed to my physical and mental limit. All I could do was get my head down, and pray for no big fallen tree sections..
Some speech might be difficult to hear - use good speakers/headphones if possible and use the man made subtitles

2024-06-14 13:33:58 +0000 UTCNo worries, thanks for the reply. Looking forward to watching it
Nathan Schulz
2024-06-14 07:33:06 +0000 UTCNice job! Are you wearing wool? It's pretty much a necessity for those conditions. Wool socks and underwear would have kept you warm even if you were wet.
Dawnbandit
2024-06-13 23:59:15 +0000 UTCCan't divulge that info Nathan but appreciate the intent!

2024-06-13 21:11:36 +0000 UTCYou are an ANIMAL! If you ever need help with fixing "bad" audio i'm studying music and media production in Stockholm and i've got some cool tools to fix stuff like the audio in the van.

2024-06-12 14:18:59 +0000 UTCHow many episodes of this are we getting? Planning on binge watching them in a sitting
Nathan Schulz
2024-06-11 05:32:00 +0000 UTCGet in Tom, making some good ground ya legend! Really exciting to watch. Especially cause the task at hand is so much larger in scale this time. Loving it. Keep on wizardin' <3
Rémy Hauspie
2024-06-10 17:01:19 +0000 UTCYou're journey through life has been a huge inspiration to me Tom. Thank you for sharing the good times and the bad.

2024-06-10 11:59:31 +0000 UTCAbsolute beast, fair play this one looked miserable but a real achievement 💪
George Lunn
2024-06-10 07:48:32 +0000 UTCI was going to say that too — wool still keeps you warm when it’s wet, unlike cotton or synthetic fibers.
Daniel Burt
2024-06-10 06:55:13 +0000 UTCVerity and Ben are such good teammates on this trip - I’m sure it helped to push through when you knew that you’d see them both in a couple of hours.
Daniel Burt
2024-06-10 06:53:18 +0000 UTCIncredible determination!! Did you use the find my phone feature to locate where it was ?
Daniel MacPhee
2024-06-09 19:09:12 +0000 UTCYou’re an inspiration, and equally absolutely mad 👌
Mark Morrison
2024-06-09 18:40:24 +0000 UTCThank you!

2024-06-09 17:16:29 +0000 UTCYou're absolutely right to say that the forested/timber farm areas are alien - to most life. In fact these areas are pretty much devoid of any ecology at all with shockingly low support to any fauna and flora. Rank in every sense dude. Most of the general public are duped into thinking they are somehow natural or nature supporting but that's as far from the truth as possibly could be. Epic journey, riveted to every moment. Si.

2024-06-09 09:31:07 +0000 UTCWell done pushing through the mental and physical obstacles!
Brian Duea
2024-06-09 08:29:14 +0000 UTCThis mission is fantastic. The complete unknown is giving me serious Wales 1 vibes. Tom - you are amazing to persevere through all that. Keep fighting.

2024-06-09 06:12:17 +0000 UTCI feel like this series is really started to fire up now - great work, Tom.

2024-06-09 02:57:40 +0000 UTCThis was an all time episode for me. Thanks Tom!!
Dustin Geddes
2024-06-09 02:26:29 +0000 UTCGreat effort Tombadil. I feared the worst for today, delighted you're still going

2024-06-09 00:22:35 +0000 UTCWhat an absolute warrior ! Always a pleasure to watch
Guillaume GRS
2024-06-08 23:40:29 +0000 UTCgo on tom!
alan doyle
2024-06-08 23:19:08 +0000 UTCParticularly enjoyed Tom's vivid description of last nights dream. @32:02
Ben Roberts
2024-06-08 23:01:18 +0000 UTCJust brilliant, so relieved to see you get through that section, but more so that you avoided hypothermia.
Arrghjay
2024-06-08 22:54:18 +0000 UTCI really needed to read that, Tom, thank you!
Arrghjay
2024-06-08 22:51:57 +0000 UTCSame here 😅
Arrghjay
2024-06-08 22:51:09 +0000 UTCah I see, even when best prepared, something must go wrong haha. Episodes have been great so far, hope you make it to the end.
Scott Carson
2024-06-08 22:46:50 +0000 UTCCongrats on having the mental and physical fortitude to push on. Legend!
Stuart Duncan
2024-06-08 22:43:10 +0000 UTCTom's love for pot noodles and gummies instead of healthy instant meal kits & energy bars will be a mystery wondered by straight line philosophers in 100 years from now.

2024-06-08 22:09:33 +0000 UTCWell done Tom, immense, awe-inspiring effort. Let’s fooking go!
Will Tucker
2024-06-08 22:06:29 +0000 UTCIf any forestry workers find your phone they must think it has fallen from the sky, as no human would voluntarily go through there 😂. Regarding clothing, a layer of wool closest to your body from top to bottom can help with hypothermia as it doesn’t drain heat from your body the same way synthetic fabrics do when wet. And you can get really thin wool too so it doesn’t add extra weight or bulk. So impressed you went back out for the last section, incredible willpower!
Marte Kjelsberg
2024-06-08 22:03:20 +0000 UTCYou’re so right. I’m glad you’ve discovered that for yourself as well. I guess what I was saying was that it didn’t appear that you were just pushing through the cold, it was like you were dragging yourself up from the depths and that you’d done it before for something much worse. It just felt different to the usual farmer woes, this one. Very very well done to you

Anders
2024-06-08 21:52:52 +0000 UTCproblem would be they'll fog up like crazy
Thomas Malloy
2024-06-08 21:50:30 +0000 UTCYeah really had to dig deep there Hannah! I have however come to learn that for me at least, these types of mental lows, i.e. ones caused by physical discomfort or pain, or at least the action of overcoming them is quite literally the antidote for depression. It seems that depression creeps in to fill a void that is left when we don't push ourselves!
tom davies
2024-06-08 21:48:27 +0000 UTCHow's it going Calum!! yeah after this farmland feels like a dream. But farmers can mean failure and failure was not an option! hope you're well mate xx
tom davies
2024-06-08 21:43:05 +0000 UTCThey always seem to fog up!
tom davies
2024-06-08 21:41:48 +0000 UTCI didn't explain it properly Scott. Something to do with signal on Verity's end.
tom davies
2024-06-08 21:41:33 +0000 UTCMaybe bring protectice glasses to combat all the branches next time.
Anders
2024-06-08 21:00:11 +0000 UTCGreat watch!
Tom Csöndör
2024-06-08 20:58:51 +0000 UTCMaybe I missed this, is there a reason tom couldn't text Verity with the Sat phone ?
Scott Carson
2024-06-08 20:49:02 +0000 UTCNothing but admiration at the mental strength it must’ve taken to get through that.
Lewis M
2024-06-08 20:18:10 +0000 UTCI was hoping you would release #3 tonight, I've just settled down with a pint to watch the video, nice one! I like to follow your route myself by looking at online maps while I watch the video, does anyone else do this?
Siggi Churchill
2024-06-08 20:00:42 +0000 UTCi can only imagine that in 300 years time someone discovers your lost phone as some sort of ancient artifact
Ryun Rich
2024-06-08 19:54:24 +0000 UTCwhoever it is, I'm fxcking getting in... great video
Bryan Kennedy
2024-06-08 19:52:26 +0000 UTCThis one was quite emotional for me. I know you’ve had (and probably still have because it never really leaves you) mental health issues in the past, and I just really felt when you gave yourself the pep talk it was a bit deeper than one might think at first glance. I got glassy eyed I have to say. Your determination was great to see, Tom. As always I can’t wait to see what happens next
Hannah Samuels-Lyons
2024-06-08 19:51:29 +0000 UTCIncredible mental fortitude mate. Really impressed. Surely the perils of being caught on a farm has to be prefereable to these forests though? Or indeed the extra vegetation worth it for the light and temps of summer?
Calum Stevens
2024-06-08 19:50:28 +0000 UTCHell Yeah!! I was really worried seeing you shaking like that, but you didn't give up! Nice job, really. I love this.
Sergio Baranov
2024-06-08 19:49:59 +0000 UTCI was really worried about your health at times during this video, but I am happy that in the end it ended well!!
Ewoud van Aalst
2024-06-08 19:49:15 +0000 UTCThis is brutal terrain, good on ya Tom for powering through. Can't believe how much you were shaking in the van!
MrWendell
2024-06-08 19:49:05 +0000 UTCArcheologists are going to have a wild time figuring out what your were doing when they discover that lost phone
Ryan Stevens
2024-06-08 19:46:18 +0000 UTCGreat video as always! Really starting to think it's going to be a success with your determination, love to see it
Oliver Salmon
2024-06-08 19:45:47 +0000 UTCJust about to start a night shift, this woke me up nicely and I'm ready to face it! Thanks Tom!!
Whitchit
2024-06-08 19:43:08 +0000 UTCI actually found this quite tough to watch at times. Especially when you were shaking in the van. Hats off to you though Tom. Such grit and determination. Brilliant.
Martin Willetts
2024-06-08 19:40:47 +0000 UTCYessss perfect evening watch thanks Tom!
Imraduin
2024-06-08 19:16:05 +0000 UTCTime for the part I've been dreading, I saw that the Fieldhouses have delayed their Part 2 so I'm worried as I start watching this video haha.
