Cheers for listening everyone and sorry it's not a proper vid this week.
Here's the list of all the adventures available on patreon: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HD8TRZjoU8fCrEOcD_8ks9ao0RuYmy4ExyTx8eQtyLU/edit#gid=0
Drop the video a like if you're excited for the mission across England!
Surely Stan is the perfect guy!
Looking forward to the England mission, yes! No dribbling this time? ⚽😂
Thanks for the update & keep well. Your callout for Russ is working wonders, too, kudos!
(Hmm... one of your fellow ultra runners just threw in £500, among dozens of other contributions. 👍👍👍)
We don't mind waiting as we know the vid will be a belter mate!!! 👍🏻😎
Really do need that editor, this one looks like a hostage video!
In your video, you said the editor should be free. Do you mean they should have the time available, or that you won't be paying them?
Tom is leveling up his straight line missions. Soon he can take on the final boss: Straight line across the US/China/Russia
The true final boss is going in a great circle (i.e. the spherical analogue of a straight line) around the globe
Why not North Korea while he is at it?

I heard of Russ through your channel and have watched every episode of Project Africa since. So happy to see you promoting this project again! Russ, the charity and the incredible videos the team put out regularly deserve way more attention ❤️
I just cant take the editing on that series. I don't care about the crew that much....
Me too!
Was so glad to have had a reference point for who this mad ginger lad was running all the way across Africa. If he doesn't inspire you I don't know what will!
@@mrcomment5544it's worth sticking with. The editing improved loads then Gus joined
Me three
Straight line mission across England?!! This is gonna go down in straight line mission history 🔥🔥
Better be top to bottom, make it worth it 😂
@@ianpilkington2037 That's a lot of farmers fields 😂😂
@@ianpilkington2037 not if it is english channel to bristol channel
@@drydryb0nesshorts 🤣🤣🤣
Can't wait for the straight line mission across Eurasia!
Glad you're promoting Russ again. You originally put me onto his channel when he began Project Africa. What he's doing truly is incredible, I can't believe more people aren't tuning in!
get in
Why did I read this in Tom’s voice😂
He got my mother and I saying that years ago, and now we can't stop!😅We feel betrayed that he no longer seems to, but I reckon it's going to be with us, anyway, for all eternity.
@@TheBlueMoo haha that's awesome
I found Russ from your videos and have watched every episode of his Africa series. He’s a true inspiration
Same here. Watched the entire thing from the start. Incredible what he's doing
He flew over the Congo, he’s a cheat
Same here!
who?
@@user-ws7kp1yh9l Russ Cook (Hardest Geezer)
Your patreon is probably the most bang for your buck in the world
I signed up after this video and am loving the first few vids I've watched. Seems like a lot of really good content and not just filler and outtakes like some patreons seem to be
If all the patreon content had gone on UA-cam, maybe the channel would still be growing? Either way I was a patreon member last year for 6 months and found I got very little value for it.
@@onlineo2263 I think there needs to be a better balancing act between the two platforms. If he starts leaning more and more on patreon I think his exposure and popularity will keep declining on UA-cam. Surely 99.9% of his Patreon subs come from UA-cam watchers and not other way around.
@@onlineo2263Patreons biggest value isn’t really keeping the subscription. It’s getting it for a month, watching as much as you can for like 5 bucks, and getting out. Maybe every year or so you can pop back in and get another huge cache of content. Otherwise, it’s essentially a donation. Which can be really good. It’s good that people can get paid to do things like what Tom does. Tom might not be able to find a “real” job doing what he does, but what he does is valuable and entertaining, and so it is real, and has value. It’s really good that WE get to decide what has value, instead of having companies hiring people deciding what has value and what doesn’t, if that make sense.
I hate the fact that you can't just purchase 1month on Patreon, it aaaaalways has to be on subscription basis. Well... I don't own a credit card so no content for me I guess 🤷
The straight line across england in January is crazy, it rained almost everyday during that month
The straight line across england in _ _ _ _ _ _ is crazy, it rained almost everyday during that month
Has to be done in that time of year though, least amount of foliage so makes traversing hedges easier
There were a few days mid month that were dry but very cold, hopefully he went then

Thanks for introducing me to Russ! I've watched every single episode of Project Africa and I'm flying to Tunisia soon to run the final few kms with him!
You should hire cameraman stan, he's free in two weeks😊
Feel like its a great idea although I think it should be the opportunity for a new up n coming editor with maybe less experience then stan but it could be the breaktrough for someone new and talented
this is maybe the perfect answer.
I was going to say the same thing
Few years back I would have been all over the editing opportunity, but I've somehow made my own channel work in the meantime. Good luck on the hunt man, been a massive fan since you were under 10k subs. Excited for what's to come!
There's a beautiful irony that the king of flat Minecraft worlds is a fan of the king of straight line missions
Didn't expect to see Mogswamp here
Are you gonna join Russ in Tunisia at the finish line?
I'm hoping we get another HNTT with the legend Welch Greg sometime in the future. The chemistry you two have is great and makes for an amazing adventure.
Yes the „how not to travel …“- series is my favourite. Especially with trying to use as many methods of transportations as possible.
Tom, I'm a huge fan of the channel and hope to see you collaborate with the channel Jet Lagged: The Game. It would be amazing to have you on the show as a contestant. I think you'd do great
Seeing Sam thinking through flight and train routes and Tom saying “what if we walk” Sam: “walk where?” Tom: “That way” and just pointing towards a town 50 miles away would be hilarious.
I was just thinking of this watching the latest season! Hopefully if they do a UK season he will be on
It’d be the perfect collaboration
omg that would be amazing
Yes this is needed
When I think of feats of human endurance I think of Terry Fox. Bone Cancer at 18, amputated leg, and decided to attempt a run across Canada from coast to coast running 42km a day for 143 days to raise awareness and money for cancer research until the cancer spread to his lungs and he was forced to stop. He passed away 8 months later at 22.
An absolute legend of Canadian history. Think the states has a version of him also that pretty much perfectly parallels him
So excited to see the England mission!
Heyyy jack
Hey
Hello Jack
I’ve been waiting for “Are we recording-merch” since forever!
Russ is literally a superhero
I just really hope those future videos will still include your beautiful 8bit music and your narrating!
Can't wait for the straight line across England! Jhezeeee what a task that's gonna be! And absolute credit for the continued support of Russ. Deserves his flowers
Thanks for the update. And thanks for turning me on to Russ Cook about a year ago. Havent missed a single video of his (or yours) and have made sure to donate to his mission!
Tom always looking like he’s in a hostage video pleading for his own release 😂❤
I found Russ through your channel and have been watching Project Africa from the start. What a legend!
As long as there's a sticker that says, "Ok, is this thing recording?"
It is incredible what Russ Cook has done. He has recently upped his daily run up to 75 kms. I find it very emotional to watch what he is doing.
the hardest geezer has raised about twice as much since you recorded this, i bet he'll hit his target shortly after finishing. it's been really incredible to watch him and see Africa from that angle and i wouldn't have found it w/o your channel.
I'd say straight across Hungary from north to south is deffinitely possible. We tend to not fence our aggliculture-fields, and our mountains are usually does not have ridicously steep sections, and no rich stinging undergrowth at all.
You turned me on to hardest geezer and Ive been loving watching his journey. Hes getting so close!
It's criminal how few people know of Russ Cook and project Africa. I completely agree Tom, this is without a doubt the most remarkable feat of human physical and mental endurance. PERIOD.
Yay! Thanks for the updates Tom! Looking forward to it all. Cheers!
Nice work Tom.
Russ definitely deserves more support.
Yes he's a bit of a geezer but I have enjoyed watching his journey, his support team are amazing and the charity should be promoted more.
Well done for giving him almost half your update video.
COME ON PEOPLE - SUPPORT PROJECT AFRICA. 🤗
There hasn't been enough MSM coverage for Russ. Gutted for him as its such an amazing feat. Cant wait for more from you too Tom.
Absolutely love your channel Tom. I’m just gutted I didn’t encounter you clambering your way through my back garden back in January lol. Super excited for the straight line mission and the merch 👌🏼
Still hoping for a Roman Road Trip adventure some time in the near future. Either way, can't wait for the England straight line and whatever else you have in store for us!
Love to see how much you've grown your content throughout the years Tom. Been following you for 4 years now and I loved every second of it. Rewatched your missions many a time and recently became a Patreon. Probably my best decision of 2024 yet, cuz the content on there is amazing. Keep up your great work Thomas Davies.
Straight line micronations: speed run edition
Can’t wait to watch one episode of it then wait another 34 weeks for next one.
I found Russ from your channel and I’ll followed every one of his episodes religiously. Glad to see you’re expanding your horizons also and I’m excited to see what you upload!
Straight line across Vatican for 2025?
hardest mission ever
Tom about to go “Assassins creed brotherhood” on them lol
Only if using a jetpack is permitted? 😎
Impossible without breaking actual walls down
Thanks for the Reminder Tom. That is one hard Geezer
An album! Amazing! Looking forward. You should be proud!
Legend finished yesterday on his wonky line mission across Africa. Unreal.
Wow I'm overloaded with excitement here. New mission, album, and merch!!! Tremendous work Tom 🎉
Fantastic, looking forward to your next adventures.
Cannot wait for everything you have in the works! ❤
Yes, geowizard. Russ deserves way more support. What he's doing is nuts. Big shout to his team Stan, Jamie and Gus as well. All heroes
7:34 - Russ and his team are truly amazing. It's a deep and inspiring rabbit hole
Just signed up to the patreon. Love your passion for the outdoors and the videos you make sharing your experiences. Has inspired me and my friends to do our own missions which have shaped the way I think about life. Excited for the England Mission but until then stay safe and don't tire yourself out editing.
Good lad! - Keep smiling Tom and looking forward to catching some bostin' videos this year! Good luck!
So excited for the album -- ever since I realised you did the background music to your straight-line missions I've been itching for some more!! Get in!!
Somehow I had not put two and two together and had forgotten that your referral was why I was following Russ Cook, going to go back and watch that video, so mad!
why am i so excited about a man attempting to cross England in a straight line?
hey geowizard, happy to hear about the announcements sounds like 2024 will be a great year.
For your merch, I think you should have it be centered around geography rather than your channel. It makes it more fashionable and something I feel I could wear out in public. Thanks mate
Ive watched russ because of this channel. He is an inspirational monster
I finally joined your patreon and I’ve been working through the backlog. Good stuff and do recommend to others.
I know this is "just" an updates video, but it's such an incredible feat of storytelling at the same time. To see someone so comfortable with your voice and style and spontaneity and conviction is a real treat. I hope you do find an editor who can not only help with the technical parts, but help you continue this storytelling journey. You deserve the help, and also deserve to be picky about it! I'll admit I'm here for the Geoguesser-type stuff more than anything else (more of that "Guess the Date" game plz) but I've loved watching all your content. And thanks for calling out the run across Africa again, I'll admit I'd forgotten about it. Incredible feat.
I've been watching you for years. best British youtube channel for me. Will be catching up with Russ also and I think I owe it to you to become a patreon . Keep up the great content
Thanks for the reminder mate! I'm headed out into the sunshine for a walk around my local park right now.❤
Always love to see your videos pop up on my feed
I'm so glad I heard of Russ' mission - on your channel - because it's one of the most inspiring & heartwarming endeavours imaginable. I really wish more people knew of it & were following it
The bus race on Patreon was awesome, it’s worth joining just for that. Also Russ is a bloody legend. Can’t wait for England straight line!
LETS GOOO🎉 so happy about another straight line mission
Yipeee, love ya Tom! Love your style as well, a good editor will continue that. And at the end of the day, you are the creative director.
signed up for you patreon, seems like some good entertainment while recovering from surgery
Hi GW.
I dont meet any of the criteria for this editor, but just wanted to point out that you might of wanted to include a little more information
When you said flexible and free, do you mean "willing to work for free" or available.
Also how flexible is probably important, I dont expect you want a full time employee, but how many hours per month/week you want someone available is probably important for anyone to know if they would be a good fit.
Yes Tom! Both excited as ever for this next adventure!
Yes, lads, get in! Super excited for what’s to come for this channel. Stay safe and much love!
Can’t wait for the videos! I’m REALLY looking forward to the album as well. Feeling inspired . Cheers, Tom!
Russ is unbelievable. I've been following him every step of the way. Thanks for introducing me to him through your videos, Tom! I'm way excited for all of your upcoming content.
I am really looking forward to the album! The music you‘ve put out before have been so emotional to cause of the connection to your videos and adventures!
Honestly seems like one of the few patreons thats actually worth joining. I'll be joining it once I have a job (broke final year student rn)
Proud of you. ❤
Really glad you said that about Russ, it's insane how little attention he's getting compared to what he's doing. Probably the most inspirational thing I've ever watched unfold in my life
I had been meaning to donate to Russ's campaign. Thanks for the reminder. Done!
I’ve been watching ALL of Russ’ videos and has the same thought “why hasn’t he got to that million yet or raised loads more?” US UA-camrs will easily raise that amount for something far less adventurous than running THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF AFRICA. Well put Tom.
Let’s go! Cannot wait ❤
Honestly if anyone is on the fence about the Patreon it is so worth it!
great to see you still thriving mate. big up
Thanks for reminding me to donate to Russ. £5 donation done. Dudes a beast. The African tarmac can sleep in peace in just 10 days time.
I am thrilled to view you latest adventure but for now I am keeping my fingers crossed for Russ. I am hoping he will manage to find a good closing for this great endeavor. Thanks for promoting his channel again.
Straight Line Denmark plzzz.
Boring country.
@@martinh1309 beautiful*
As a dane, not much contrast in the danish country side pretty much just flat ground, and then a bit more flat ground
it would be hard for it to fully count as a straight line mission across a whole country due to the shape of it
Too much farm land here. Compared to the UK, he would constantly be trespassing.. Not to mention it would be near impossible for him to find a place to sleep, unless we want's to sleep in the middle of the farm land.
Russ is a legend, 10k miles is insane. Last year I went on a 8.5k mile road trip in 12 days, 7.8 days my car was running/driving. Cannot believe that man has run farther than that already, absolutely unbelievably awesome.
I love how creative you are and not run out of interesting video ideas
Tom i just wanted to say you are by far the only youtuber i watch as consistently as i do yours. Started watching about 6 years ago when i was 12 and now im 18, i dont think ive missed a single vid. Somehow you have over years managed to stay true to yourself. idk everytime i sit down and watch a vid of yours it just feels like 10-20 minutes of being able to relax fully. whatever you do keep going man ur the best!
I love Russ Cook and the running charity!!
Russ Cook, wouldn't have heard of him without Geowizards ball busting vid. Have followed his journey since South Africa. Still amazed of the low viewer numbers. It is unique. Massive endeavour, 3 day updates in a fairly qualitative package, semi-live. Have this even been done before on this scale, including the shits, puke, bloody pee, etc. The algo is not playing him fair.
Soo excited 😌
Amazing how much more engaging this vid got when you headed outside!
I found out about Russ through your channel and have been hooked on his mission ever since! Was hoping you'd do a straight line across the Sahara!
I've watched Russ ever since your football mission - and one he did to 'the most rural pub' with another youtuber - He doesn't really promote the charity donation page enough in his videos, he's started doing it a bit more recently but at the start it was all about him and his mission, I don't blame him, it was a personal challenge that he saw he could do some extra good with.
Hi Tom, I hope you find the editor you need. I've donated to Russ, reported those imposters on TikTok, and I'm stoked to see your next mission soon! Cheers
Big things are happening for you Tom and I'm here for it! I'll defo cop some merch when that comes out, you've been a massive inspiration for me these past few years :D
Thanks for the great videos Tom, heaps keen for the straight line across england! been writing when are you going to do it for ages xD
All absolutely thrilling news! Get in
You inspired me to do a few adventures this year, its annoying waiting for the English weather to warm up and dry off enough to go and camp overnight. Cant wait to see more from you
Hi tom,
I discorvered your channel half a year ago and fell in love with it. It happened immediately.
You are an amazing person!
Absolutely love the 8-bit album you released years ago. Listen to it everytime I work or am in the car.
Wasn't it 16-bit?
After watching this:
- I'm donating a fiver to Russ
- Buying the merch in summer
- Subscribing to the patreon soon
Oh and looking forward to the album!
Oh you must be kidding me! Merch, Album and another huge Adventure? What a great year it's gonna be. Super stoked! Shut up and take my money already 💲
A busy busy 2024!
Russ should've just walked around his garden with a zimmer frame for a bit. Would have raised millions! ;) Donated!
