Running across an entire country in a Straight Line!? DAY#3 Inspired by Geowizard

[@orktv4673]

Giving GeoWizard the honour of being the first straight line missioner across Wales, while you speedran the line in platinum, what an outcome.

[@eberbacher007]

well to have an elite runner with a full support crew makes it quite easier.

[@ApathyBM]

@@EuanBCFC It's the route that determines it. These boys took a bigger risk going through more farms, and they paid by getting caught once. Geowizard maximized his chances by routing through more nature and paid the price by having to take a safer detour around potentially deadly terrain.

[@carpii]

it might lack the 16-bit music and flowery verbosity of GeoWizard, but for sheer performance this guy is a beast

[@absirdhardcore]

this is crazy impressive. Comming in to this through Geowizard, thinking "let's watch these young kinds suffer, they have no idea what they are in for" and ending up watching you actually RUN the damn thing in only 13 hours has blown my mind.

[@MisterL2_yt]

well to be fair they don't carry weight on their journey so that makes them a lot more mobile ^^

Congrats on the Speed Run! So cool that you both get to hold unique records, kicking off a new category of straight line missioning: Straight Line Missions, and Straight Line Speed Run Missions! 🎉

So when are we going to see you guys do a straight line with Tom, together? This is what the world needs.

[@Nooticus]

That was one of the biggest plot twists ever ngl

[@danthake]

Impressive stuff, you basically went into god mode when you decided to run the whole thing

[@ApathyBM]

It was a pretty sweet plot twist, it seems like the best way to get through farmland. No gear, full speed.

[@billerator]

Incredible individual action and team support. Getting stopped as a team was a shame but '...life will find a way'. Such gentleman letting Geowizard go first!

[@renerpho]

Yes. Tom still had to work pretty hard to actually do it, but it was very nice to give him the chance.

[@YourMJK]

Absolutely incredible. Not only platinum but also RAN in record time while making it look all too easy! You guys are insane.

[@silverkade63]

Its funny how going in to these missions you guys were like the new 'villain' if youve been a geowizard fan for a while, but now im just extra happy for both of these sick series! Well done guys, gonna be watching your other vids now 😁

[@MrBlabacus]

I thought this would be a cheap knock of GW, but boy I was wrong. Just as enthralling and incredibly impressive! Well done.

[@D-angelin.Moarar]

I think this mission might just be my favourite of all straight line missions I've watched. Impressive achievement and funny comments sprinkled along the way.

[@johnsnow5125]

when you got a surprise ultramarathon runner up your sleeve. That was a good series, great twist

[@Bigchungywungy]

Adam is an absolute beast! Love how you guys honoured Tom with the first completion achievement but in no way does that undermine what you guys did here as a team, topped off with providing a great vibe, fantastic filming and editing. Monumental achievement, every one of you should be very proud.

[@DoogenandDershwitz]

Speachless! just an astonishing acheivement.... a platinum run across Wales in 2 days making it look easy. Bonkers! Well done Adam

[@LychkovIA]

Guys, this is fantastic! Love your video production, and you did an amazing job with the mission. I couldn't believe that it was actually possible to run across Wales like that (let alone in a straight line), but wow, Adam did it. Looking forward to more videos from you! All the best!

[@russelljackson2818]

Well done guys, and good on you for offering GW the chance to cinch it once and for all first, super gentlemanly of you all. But this was a unique achievement all its own as well, worth being proud of!

[@einCAA]

Was kinda hoping that geowizard would be waiting at the finish line. Awesome that you managed to do this. Huge thumbs up for talking to geowizard before doing this!

[@voetbal12]

Right? What a prick.

[@Langers0404]

Unironically one of the most impressive athletic feats I have ever seen. Impressive work gents

[@Bawbalicious]

Unreal guys, you smashed it. Very impressive and I love seeing the strategy with such a dedicated support crew.

Damn you guys!! This means the rest of my evening is written off to watch these videos. Love this collab. I hope to see Fieldhouses vs. Geowizard irl challenges in future

[@christophersmith7714]

Adam, you are one fit guy for sure! Well done. Great vid and well done support team!

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

Honestly with the first video I wasn’t overly invested, I totally didn’t mind the support crews or anything I thought it added a bit of fun and lighthearted silliness, it just wasn’t overall really the kind of vibe I get invested in in videos like this. Holy hell though, I’m glad I got past the scare of the mad farmer in episode two because this ended up being quite the incredible feat! Cheers! Also, I wouldn’t mind your original vibe in a different setting with a different type of goal though, maybe a more urban area, or with a different type of challenge. I’d love to see your support team bring you all different kinds of crafts and vehicles you have to use and ride to get through areas, the duck can make a reappearance even😆

[@HansHackfress]

A splendid effort, lads. I am quite amazed at the speed Adam mantained without ever looking totally exhausted the way Tom was during his run - absolutely not having a go at Tom here though, he certainly had the worse route and less "real time support". Both runs were a joy to watch and I hope to see more from you guys in the future. Crossing Antarctica in a straight line should be doable ;)

[@renerpho]

Antarctica may be a bit much. Also, it's not a country. Still looking forward to the Saudi Arabia mission though.

[@johannes7059]

That was a great watch, very well done, both the mission itself but also the filming, editing and general vibe, you guys will be huge 👏

Congratulations lads. Really proud of you. This is such an accomplishment which you will treasure for the rest of your lives. It was wonderful to watch you lads do this challenge to see where you ended up, hoping it would be my hometown.

[@motttta]

This was incredible. Been following Tom for a long time, I'm super happy he made the line first. You brought a really nice twist to this madness GeoWizard created, with an awesome energy and to my surprise, a super nice vibe and storytelling, and really nice information on the videos. Well done guys! I don't know if it's the universe, or if we really live in a simulation, but I had an idea about 5 years ago, to do a photographic series, that are all taken in a straight line. Yet to be made. But it's in the pocket for the future! Congrats!

[@EannaButler]

Absolutely EPIC Mr. Adam!! Well done!!!!! 10 out of 10 👏👌👍

[@ArtisticContingent]

What a beast Adam is! An incredible achievement, big congrats to all the guys :)

[@froghornleghorn]

I was sceptical of the approach. I thought the frequent support team meetings and going ahead to set up a rope etc was "impure" compared to geowizards more self sufficient efforts. BUT as a fan of endurance sports, by the end you fully won me over with the speed run. Absolutely epic effort lads and well put together too.

[@mooncalf_4534]

Point of note is that you could emulate the support crew by just stashing a huge amount. Pre-walk your line and place everything where you need it along the way and you'd get the full support crew value (food, water, clothes changes, rafts when needed, ropes when needed, camping gear when needed while carrying nothing on your own and could sweep all the stuff back up after you finish the run. The support crew just makes that go from an incredibly dumb annoying slow expensive process to a much more convenient one. But it's not actually providing any benefit over a solo runner.

[@froghornleghorn]

@mooncalf_4534 not quite. At one point the support crew had gone ahead, scaled a tough descent, attached a rope and gave guidance on foot placing. On another occasion they had stretched the rope over an expanse of water ready and all he had to do was pull himself along on the duck, certain to stay on line. You can't come close to replicating that even with good stashing. Like I said though, the physical achievement of covering the ground the way he did on a speed run is immense! Just a very different kind of challenge.

[@froghornleghorn]

Sorry just read you said pre walk too, where obviously you could rig things up in advance, but that would equally alter the type of challenge.

[@somefishhere]

any% is a recognized category of speed runs. I feel like that should apply here as well! The Chess Teacher tried doing a solo march and only got 2 miles in.

[@holliswilliams8426]

I think the support crew with a drone was going a bit far, but the speed run changes the dynamics imo, it's way harder when you're running and basically throwing yourself through gorse and hedgerows.

[@albevanhanoy]

You guys have a very different vibe to straight line missionning than GeoWizard. You earned yourselves a subscriber, can't wait for the next one. Maybe somewhere on the continent?

[@mintysgt]

its an incredable effort, in fact its totally mind blowing to a fat git like me, a platy run aswell. how ever i think geowizard trully derserved the 1st honours in doing this, which again i take my hats of to you for not stealing that honour an allowing him to know your plans an dates

[@bloodredroses88]

Fantastic, can't believe how fast you guys did it. Straight line mission South to North at some point? You could be the first!

[@frankmarano1118]

What a save after failing it originally due to the farmer. Cant believe you guys turned it around into the first platinum run. RIP to the clothes that died here today lol

[@h____hchump8941]

Well done. Adam did ok, pretty unremarkable really, but special praise needs to go to the support crew for some absolutely exemplary support crewing. I'm a professional support crew myself, 20 years in the industry, and it's probably the best support crewing I've seen.

[@chadywood]

[@mooncalf_4534]

MY GOATS Insane performance and the highest-scoring mission so far in terms of time/accuracy. First platinum ever and first 98% ever are both insane achievements, and throwing in fastest time and the fact it was a full run across the country is unprecedented. Look forward to watching you guys dominate the straight-line scene. You're tied with Tom at 2 completes each at the moment but he does have 2 world firsts to your 1, so could that get tied up in future? Editing and storytelling and everything was on another level too, so fun to watch. Video was super funny, actually.

[@holliswilliams8426]

Lol come on, there is not a ''scene'' for this. It is too niche and too difficult to define what is acceptable or not acceptable.

Was hoping Tom would be cosplaying as an angry farmer final boss for Adam. Great achievement and platinum to boot!

[@peterhammond1701]

That's crazy. I'm sure we can agree that Tom is the GOAT of straight line missions, including this one, but Adam just made up his own category. This might be Aussie slang, but he pissbolted across Wales. Thanks to all the boys for the entertainment and of course to Geowizard. I'm calling this a draw; Tom was camping out with only Verity to help, but that mad fucker ran across an entire country.

[@waozer]

I hope you guys do more of these straight line missions in general. Interesting to see someone who isnt geowizard attempt them, and see how they perform. The way you guys did it was so different than to how he did it. Also the series was awesome.

[@jackmeowmeowmeow2177]

Just hope if they do, they limit the amount of support the straight liners receive, such as no crew to set up floatys and ropes for climbing or what not, if they do it it must be done by the straight liners not the support crew.
