Great to see this concept being pushed to the extreme, but you didn’t need to show me up THIS hard 😂 Also attempting this is December is mental! Can’t wait for the next parts
Well, Ed strayed from the river at times, but he did it self-supported. No proper waders, no proper canoe, because you can't carry that. Carrying a tent and a boat some of the thicket and the culverts are just not passable. So really it is a different challenge. Kudos to all three of you!
Loved Ed's attempt and enjoyed yours! I think it's the support crew approach that makes the difference. Ed was carrying the boat and his gear ^^ I was quite surprised when no one bothered to take and bin the backpack you found in the river...just threw it back in....😅
6:20? Oh really, I on't remember Ed driving slowly along the river in his heated van, crashing his drone... Must be my bad memory, right? :) Nah but seriously, both approaches are super cool. Yours being supported, but dedicated to REALLY stay as close as possible and Ed doing this thing on his own, ofc not risking that much, but being hardcore with his massive backpack and all the stuff on his back
I don't know if this was planned or not, but the timing of this video right after the straight-line mission with Geowizard is a clever move. Another banger video, great job!
Guys this is incredible! most channels of your size struggle with properly editing VO but you did it perfectly! of course, having an inspiring mentor helps. tom basically invented this style of adventure VO interspersal.
Too many comments about Ed’s attempt who had no support system and went alone. Just enjoy your adventure. Don’t make it about beating someone else. People like good vibes not negative ones
Agreed, love that they seem to be taking the baton from geowizard. Impressed with their editing too, the race with geowizard was nearly an action movie, whereas this is more relaxed
You're very quick to challenge Ed Pratt for not being hardcore enough in their approach to this for 2 people who are being supported by 3 people and a big van rather than carrying all of your gear like he did.
Exactly, Ed being solo made his trip significantly harder and stopped him from taking any major risks with regards to staying 100% on river and also made him very limited in the equipment he could bring (of course he wasn't going to carry a rigid canoe on his back). It's a little frustrating the guys didn't acknowledge this before starting the jokes
couldn't agree more with the comments before me. And even if nothing of that would be true: why talking so negative about another guy doing a challenge? Everyone can do it to their own liking...
Awesome video guys. Be careful about overtopping waders. It can be fatal. You're supposed to wear a belt at the top of the waders to prevent water getting in, weighing you down, and drowning you.
We tried to do this age about 11, inflatable, predictable issues, spent about 4 hours going down a meandering river then 4 minutes walking home when it started to get dark.
Love it! Reminds me of when I walked the River Parrett Trail last year like yourself inspired by Ed. I’ll have to watch your Lemur Loop, raced that myself several years ago 👍
So excited to see another upload from you two legends!! I just watched your video about the 10k loops and I wanted to say that you inspired me to run 30k today, albeit on a treadmill. Working up to being able to tackle adventures like you can! Best wishes from New York
Great stuff, I'd watched Ed's and fancied a go - did a 2-day straight line last year after watching GW and you guys. I've a local one in mind for source to sea but it seems you are lifting the bar - I had reckoned on the same rules as straight line, within 25M of the center of the river. Bloody whippersnappers!
I did this with my sparrow last year. I was unsupported so had to carry all my supplies. I can highlight recommend it although I would warn against paddling back as I did. It took me 37 days. I'm planning to do a trip to Exmouth from the river Yeo this year.
Awesome job! Would love to see done with the River Thames source in Gloucestershire to Southend-on-sea or Shoebury. I heard there's someone who posted 360° Google streetview paths for a majority of the Thames riverbanks. So you can plan for all obstacles along the way through the countryside, though London will be very interesting to see how much is walkable or ferry through.
You could have taken the bag with you to give to the support crew… seemed like you saw them just afterwards. You could even have put a bit of other rubbish you found in it. Throwing it back like that seems not so cool.
have you guys ever thought of doing a mission BAREFOOT? i walked 26 miles in 8 hours last summer completely barefoot, on roads, fields, tracks, even on gravel tracks... i was walking 3 miles a day barefoot beforehand.. no long distances.. but id suggest to do what i do and walk a bit barefoot here and there. if you went from wearing boots all the time to 26 miles barefoot, youd probably have bleeding feet and be crippled by the end
good video enjoyable to watch! However i dont like the constant put downs......it was the same to geowizard even though he took it well, you seem oblivious to the fact Ed and Tom did it solo (+ one verity) making it much harder and slower progress......you have a whole support crew essentially carrying all your equipment making it much easier.
Proud to comment that i knew the original video! Small adventurer youtube channels piggybacking off eachother to grow together is a great boon to the outdoorsy community! Good luck to you, lads! UPD1: I really hope the recent support will recoup the cost of the lost GoPro. Keep adventuring!
Waiting to see you sail past my house in Combwich in the third episode! I could have filmed you from my tower had Ferg told me you would be passing (or maybe you hadn't told him you were doing this)😆
Have you guys ever thought about doing a straight line mission across a national park? I am currently planning one out for the Brecon Beacons, works out as only 50km but theres some hefty elevation gain. Thinking of running it alone sometime in the spring/summer.
This take is fun but certainly less pure. Ed carried everything he needed for 4 nights including a canoe, and sleeping bag etc. Archie and Adam have 3 support crew in a van, only carry a GoPro each and Adam even managed to lose his!
The Fraser is over 1300 km long going from the Alberta border near Jasper up to Prince George and all the way down to Vancouver. Even from its source it's probably wide enough to boat down. These little UK rivers that are all overgrown are honestly more entertaining and have more variety in a way. I am sure someone has done most of the Fraser already. I know people canoe the Columbia (which is tricky because of all the dams).
@@flare2000x It is wide enough at the source (Moose Lake), but there are some treacherous sections (most notably, Hell's Gate, but along 1300 km I imagine there are more).
I love the concept of this video and the down to earth presentation! One advice from a guy with a few magnitudes more kayaking experience: Don’t scream at swans 🦢 The best way to avoid aggression in my experience is to talk to them in a calm voice. Having to defend yourself against a swan is a lose lose situation. Even I you win you just hurt an animal.
You would have found this easier and more comfortable in a dry suit like they use for white water kayaking, sailing etc. [albeit risk of tearing the dry suit, which can cost a few hundred £]
I know the digs on Ed are intended as banter here, but it makes you guys come across less likeable. I’m certain you guys are lovely blokes, but taking jabs at the person whose entire video idea you are piggybacking on doesn’t feel very sporting. Let me be clear, I loved this video and I’m looking forward to the next instalment, but your trash talking taints it a bit in my opinion.
Im convinced you exist to dunk on other UA-camrs original adventures. And i cant decide whether thats absolute genius or total malevolence. Either way its bloody entertaining 😂
Great to see this concept being pushed to the extreme, but you didn’t need to show me up THIS hard 😂 Also attempting this is December is mental! Can’t wait for the next parts
Thanks for the inspiration Ed! Unfortunately it only gets more savage from here....
kudos to Ed, I think the guys overdid it way too much with their comments on him
@@swalkner Yup, big difference between solo and having a support crew.
@@fieldhouseboys at least Ed wild camped unlike you guys!
next they'll be doing extreme unicycle crossings lol
Constant bashing of Ed whilst having a support crew and somewhere to sleep each night makes this a tough watch.
Well, Ed strayed from the river at times, but he did it self-supported. No proper waders, no proper canoe, because you can't carry that. Carrying a tent and a boat some of the thicket and the culverts are just not passable. So really it is a different challenge. Kudos to all three of you!
Yeah having a 26kg backpack makes a world of difference that these two are oblivious to, apparently.
Ed's trip was more of a narrative journey a la Beau Miles than it was a follow the rules as closely as possible journey a la Geowizard
Loved Ed's attempt and enjoyed yours! I think it's the support crew approach that makes the difference. Ed was carrying the boat and his gear ^^ I was quite surprised when no one bothered to take and bin the backpack you found in the river...just threw it back in....😅
8:59 - why did you throw the bag back in the river rather than leave it by the road?
Because these boys only seem to care about themselves.
6:20? Oh really, I on't remember Ed driving slowly along the river in his heated van, crashing his drone... Must be my bad memory, right? :) Nah but seriously, both approaches are super cool.

of course it was planned. they know what they're doing!
Next week: Running across Africa, inspired by the Hardest Geezer
See if they can beat him to Tunisia
Straight line north to south?
@@poilboiler now that's a proper challenge! "Straight line mission across Africa"
With all those jokes, I am expecting your next video to involve Unicycling across Latvia, as it is obviously very easy to do everything Ed is doing :)
I love Ed Pratt's videos.
so, you have a support team, with a drone and a van, to carry all your food and gear... but no patch to patch those waders?
Fair point to be honest
Pro tip if using waders in winter. Soft cheese is a natural insulator, drop it down there and let nature do the work.
Come on boys, gopro float mounts are a must! We learned that the hard way too 😂
Yeah so annoying! We lost over 50% of our day 1 footage
Reminds me of Beau Miles' "bad river" video, awesome.
Beau is great!
Yep. I was thinking the same. The water doesn't look great at any point really !
Guys this is incredible! most channels of your size struggle with properly editing VO but you did it perfectly! of course, having an inspiring mentor helps. tom basically invented this style of adventure VO interspersal.
Too many comments about Ed’s attempt who had no support system and went alone. Just enjoy your adventure. Don’t make it about beating someone else. People like good vibes not negative ones
You boys are exactly what we want to see from young British adventurers. Great stuff 🧡
Agreed, love that they seem to be taking the baton from geowizard. Impressed with their editing too, the race with geowizard was nearly an action movie, whereas this is more relaxed
This is a really lovely concept. I've always wanted to follow a river all the way, just not *in* the river.
Same
I love your vids, but I do wish they were longer!
I hope some kid finds that gopro in a few years, it’ll just be hours of footage of some crazy bloke walking up a river 😂
I’ve always wondered if it was possible and I love that in the past few lonths I’ve seen a number of videos about it
You're very quick to challenge Ed Pratt for not being hardcore enough in their approach to this for 2 people who are being supported by 3 people and a big van rather than carrying all of your gear like he did.
My thoughts exactly, the parameters are completely different. Solid content nonetheless!

Can't wait for them to unicycle across a country
Yeah the cockiness is unjustified. Especially when the video idea came from him.
couldn't agree more with the comments before me. And even if nothing of that would be true: why talking so negative about another guy doing a challenge? Everyone can do it to their own liking...
Great idea guys, ready for the next episodes
Awesome video guys. Be careful about overtopping waders. It can be fatal. You're supposed to wear a belt at the top of the waders to prevent water getting in, weighing you down, and drowning you.
Great content, hope there´s a great future of adventure for the two of you!

Awesome video guys, this was a thoroughly enjoyable adventure and i can't wait eait for part two! 👍👍
Props to you guys for having another video ready to go after your GeoWizard collab.
Love the cheekiness. Really giving it to Ed and maybe a little softer on the Wizard before. Well done!
incredible... definitely deserve the "Hey, hold my Beer and watch this" Badge!
Comes across a little mean-spirited towards Ed here boys, I'm know it's all just jokes but Ed seems like a good lad 😂
So excited to see another upload from you two legends!! I just watched your video about the 10k loops and I wanted to say that you inspired me to run 30k today, albeit on a treadmill. Working up to being able to tackle adventures like you can! Best wishes from New York
Great to hear! Well done, thank you for watching
with the state of uk rivers I commend you for your bravery and death defying stunts of trying not to consume any cholera!
need a toughlayer over the waders, the layer will get wet, but thats fine if it saves the waders.
Great stuff, I'd watched Ed's and fancied a go - did a 2-day straight line last year after watching GW and you guys.

Lol this is just the kind of silliness I need to watch. You have a new subscriber.
Which crazy challenge should we take on next?
straight line mission from England to Japan or New Zealand, or river mission down the entire length of the Volga
are they doable over a long weekend?
gotta get home for your posh hoohar stuff eh? More "house" than "field"...
3 peaks challenge in under 18/20/22 hours depending on how hard you reckon it may be
for Adam maybe, not as much the rest of fieldhouses@@fieldhouseboys
This is good stuff, loving your channel.
Ed catching so many stray bullets 🤣
Great video, i can't wait to see the next installments. please keep up the adventure videos, thet are a brilliant watch.
You guys are going about this channel the perfect way, have all the algo engagement I can offer
Now we're waiting for the Fieldhouse vs Ed Pratt (hopefully on unicycle) showdown.
A worthy challenge. Researching rivers around Ghent right now!
Do you have any longer form versions of this I feel I could watch hours of this
Will we see you boys attempt our world record and taking a
You guys are so crazy. This is a great project, and the snarky comments against Ed really round it out.
Brill, always interesting to see a different take on an adventure.
I absolutely second that! 👍
Are you a fan of Eds vidoes too ?@@CampingRulesOkay
Great video guys, this and geowizard collab in same month is insane
Amazing effort as always lads
CURVY LINE MISSION! YES!
I actually always dreamed of doing that but from the end to the source, with a jetsky or something, but I ain't that rich
I did this with my sparrow last year. I was unsupported so had to carry all my supplies. I can highlight recommend it although I would warn against paddling back as I did. It took me 37 days. I'm planning to do a trip to Exmouth from the river Yeo this year.
Ooo, film it I would love to see that trip
@@Mistwolfss I'll try but it's hard to get my sparrow to hold a camera.
@@neverstop117 I'm sure you can find a specialized go pro for birds.
"You got a bit of splash on your hole" 😂😂😂
It didn't sound dirty at all until I just read your comment... Oh dear 😂🤣

Here from the GeoGussrWizard collab video. Really like this idea
Love this !! Keep up these type of videos
Hoping for more regular content 🤞
You could have taken the bag with you to give to the support crew… seemed like you saw them just afterwards. You could even have put a bit of other rubbish you found in it. Throwing it back like that seems not so cool.
Oh wow fairplay lads Looking forward to the next episode!
This is amazing! Keep it up!
Great video, but no need for such passive aggression towards Ed. Keep up the good work guys
Came here from the shout out from OYZ! You guys are like Outside Your Zone if they weren’t Northern
you should do a straight line river mission where you cant leave the river and you have to go in a straight line... toughest mission ever!
Oh hey, look who it is, these dudes be getting about all the straight line mission crews :D
have you guys ever thought of doing a mission BAREFOOT? i walked 26 miles in 8 hours last summer completely barefoot, on roads, fields, tracks, even on gravel tracks... i was walking 3 miles a day barefoot beforehand.. no long distances.. but id suggest to do what i do and walk a bit barefoot here and there. if you went from wearing boots all the time to 26 miles barefoot, youd probably have bleeding feet and be crippled by the end

Haha, he knew about it but didn't fully approve I don't think due to the non-zero chance of drowning etc..
😆@@fieldhouseboys
The content just keeps hetting better (despite missing half of the footage...). Loving the way you guys take the challengesnto the extreme
Great start lads.

Hah. I loved the original mission by Ed Pratt and I love your new and purer take on it. Can't wait to see the other parts.
This take is fun but certainly less pure. Ed carried everything he needed for 4 nights including a canoe, and sleeping bag etc. Archie and Adam have 3 support crew in a van, only carry a GoPro each and Adam even managed to lose his!
@@onlineo2263 Ah true. I was thinking more of purity of sticking to the line of the river but yes, support-crew can certainly be a factor too.
If you're going to do something, do it proper. Well done folks
I wish the videos were a bit longer, but i guess most of your audience preffer this length. Great video anyway 👍🏼
I've often thought about whether this could be done in the Fraser River of western Canada.

Videos like this just show how destroyed British rivers are.
I can't imagine you would a single edible fish within 10 miles of any given city.
Love how half the comments are just people getting offended on Ed's behalf. Relax people!
2:34 me and my fellow Post 10 watchers think there's nothing wrong with walking through a culvert mate.
'Dangerous animals.. swan!!'
Yeah we've gone far too soft in Britain 😂
You people are the real deal. I really hope you make lots of videos going forward.
You two are a different breed
Great video.
Inspiring, guys!

When you have an original idea you can let Ed know
Absolutely banger video!
But… could you also upload longer less edited versions of the same video in the future (if that isn’t too much work)
Ah Burnham, My old home. Well...Brean, can get out to Sturt Island just off Burnham

You know I only just realized these are gaming challenge videos done IRL
the fact i saw my house in this LOL (from a distance of about 10km mind), but still in the line of sight
that ... that is how rivers that run into the sea usually work, yes
Another banger video!
Epic. Always wanted to do this.
For one hot minute, I consider doing this with the nearest river to my hometown. Then I remember I don't want to get eaten by crocodiles
Next week on the channel, the boys tackle their hardest challenge yet!… Coming up with an original idea!
Stay tuned, folks!
Im convinced you exist to dunk on other UA-camrs original adventures. And i cant decide whether thats absolute genius or total malevolence. Either way its bloody entertaining 😂
