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!

Shaan Kularia-McCue

Congrats!! So happy for you and Verity :)

Paul Cooke

Hi 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.

Hey Tom, just a quick question, do you think that a mission across Slovakia would be anything feasible? Thanks

Nick Schwarzer

Quick question Tom: Will you ever get a Christmas Tree again?

Lewis mcmillan

Care to give some thoughts or anything constructive?

Blayce Buckland

yoo that geowizard guy is a dad!!! haha congrats Tom, hope Verity and the little one are going good

Dustin Geddes

I 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

Dustin Geddes

*world's biggest eyeroll*

Dustin Geddes

Verity is a really fun name

Dustin Geddes

Your line was better

Chris Shea

@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.

Lewis mcmillan

Controversial take: Ben helping you paddle may arguably amount to a failure.

Anders

Soft airgun goggles with a mesch will keep your eyes safe and will NOT fog up.

Huw Ramsay

Ahh fab congratulations to you both!

felix

congratulations on the baby!

tom davies

I'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.

Naturally JB

Hahaha I can only imagine, all the best mate ❤️

tom davies

I won't be going near that place!

tom davies

Good idea but I have to be more careful with battery life sadly!

tom davies

Damn... hindsight.

tom davies

Already is!

tom davies

No spiders out in the winter, not much else for that matter! The summer would be a different story..

tom davies

She is Huw!

tom davies

I film sporadically. I've gotten better at it.

tom davies

My support crew and my burning desire to get this done!

LordLard

Great going Tom - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhwk - and a great reason for no vid next week of course...

Guillaume GRS

Tom's kid : Can we go to Disneyland ? Tom : we are going to cross AUSTRALIA in a straight line ! Anyway, congratulations Tom !

wortwicht

Everytime 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

Ewoud van Aalst

Maybe you should post the entire dense forest footage part as a patreon exclusive so we can feel like how bad it actually is

wortwicht

That is good to know :) All the best to you and your family! 🙂

Dustin Geddes

We finally saw the shot from the first sneak peak of this mission that we got months ago!

Nate Langhinrichs (Lang-HEN-rix)

"Planet Earth is blue....and where the fuck are you". Bit of a missed opportunity there mate. 'Grats on the baby though!

Arrghjay

How he hasn’t lost it by now is insane!

Arrghjay

Congrats 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!

Ege Kaya

A firing range? You are a madman, Tom.

Antonio Karides

Congratulations Tom and Verity!!

Marte Kjelsberg

Congratulations Verity and Tom!

Alec

Happy Father’s Day sir

Naturally JB

Congrats on baby Tom! I'm sure it will be your hardest challenge yet. Absolutely loving this series, thank you!

Stuart Duncan

Amazing 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.

Simon V

That's not bad news at all! Congratulations, Tom!

Sam Townend

Looking forward to the next ep gunna be worth the wait hopefully see it before the impending edit removing the military firing range 😂

Billy Richardson

I 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!

Simian

small 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!

Huw Ramsay

Nice 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.

Daniel MacPhee

Na it’s fine Tom nothing to worry about mate

Daniel MacPhee

Do you have the camera rolling the whole time or just for part of the day ?

Tom Csöndör

This has to be one of the hardest straight lines you’ve done😁What keeps you going when it gets difficult?

Daniel MacPhee

Yep same feeling 7-1 tomorrow then out in the semis lol

Dan Melone

Okay, thanks. Looking forward to it. Been a banger so far.

tom davies

You did Dan yes!

tom davies

Have a bad feeling England will bottle it this time. A lot of expectation on the shoulders of those players..

tom davies

Wow 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

Torben Mayer

Even 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.

ShealyTN

As someone living in one of those states, I don't blame him in the slightest, lol

Ryun Rich

was being sarcastic lol

dvdvideo10

I 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.

Jaakkima

Congratulations 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?

Ryun Rich

whens straight line USA? :)

James M Errington

There are some fun missions you can do with kids, saw one guy that introduced his kid to a new generation of gaming consoles every year, starting at age four

James M Errington

Mostly non-native to the UK, or at least the ones carrying nasty diseases, but they are on the increase here.

Anders

Go for a pair of Soft arigun goggles next time.

Ryan Stevens

Congrats 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?

James M Errington

Another fantastic episode, so glad you're past most of that forest now. And congratulations on the baby!

Thea Haugland

I 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.

Dan Melone

Did I read that correctly? No episode next weekend?

Daniel MacPhee

Congratulations to you and Verity !!! Any predictions for the euros btw ?

RHYS

How are you not covered in ticks?

Damien Fenton

I just caught up with last week's video. All I can say is a big fair play for getting through that physical and mental anguish!

Johannes Wiberg

This is awesome, but make sure you take the time you need for Verity and the wee one. Love the vids and all but that can wait!

wortwicht

Dear 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! ❤️
