We Attempted a Blind Straight Line Mission during cold Estonian Winter

[@janismancevics6638]

It was an honor to see the "like... ...the best jumper... ...in the world" in action! 🙇‍♂Love your humor. 🙃

[@TOM-ITI]

"Like the best jumper in the world" approves your comment

[@anke5864]

"It's pathetic... but it's life" 😄 And it's a lot of fun to watch too! Thanks for taking us along!

[@TOM-ITI]

We're glad you enjoyed!

its fun to watch your videos, greetings from a Latvian living in England

Why don't you live in Latvia?

Hi, I adore your brave approach with trying this out at winter. Despite giving up still I wouldn't say it was a bad result since you had no other experiences to compare. Also, considering day is way shorter in winter(which could also be reason why the estimation was off, not only the terrain is more challenging but simply it's less time if you don't go at night) I'd say you made a good job and the video is pleasant to watch. It seems geniune and checks the ability for fast decisions, it even put me in question what I would do in such scenarios as you had on this path.

[@TOM-ITI]

Thanks for such a detailed feedback! We saw in Latvia that we were able to easily walk 20km in 6 hours but snow and cold really slowed us down there. We almost didn't make a video out of this attempt but in the end decided otherwise.

[@TehAwesomer]

new TOMITI video = insta-click! ❄

[@UrbanDestination]

Ah yes! The beautiful sound of ice cracking under you in winter. Always fun to hear.

[@TOM-ITI]

Yep, the adrenaline levels were very high 😄

[@vugluskeralreo]

You, guys, are amazing!

[@pan_Psax]

Of course, you have a few bows somewhere at home... :D Great video, thanks!

[@kellyrennie775]

Tweak the line slightly and attempt again when the weathers better, you'll be able to scope it out beforehand too 💕 Love the way yous got the line, was laughing when Tom kept missing his target 😅😂 🙈

[@TOM-ITI]

Thanks for the tips! We definitely try to do it porperly next time! Yep, we laughed as well when we put this video together 😅

[@blobiel]

yall are so brave I could never. I need a heated blanket to be in my room. Ready to watch my 2nd mission with yall, ready for the spring attempts! Love from the US

[@Prepperian]

What an crazy idea but really fun to see the attempt! Looking forward to future adventures.

[@TOM-ITI]

Glad you're on board!

[@EmmaVZ]

Loved the arrow shooting to create the random line! With this cold too it definitely is hard mode straight line missioning, you guys didnt give yourself any slack huh 😂

[@TOM-ITI]

Yes, it was quite fun to choose a line like that 😃

[@dorkytwo]

Welcome back!!

[@stasacab]

Geocachers are like a form between straight line madness and sensible, regular hikers, like borderline psychotic.

[@wavyseahill]

Great adventures as always! Happy to see that amount of fun! 😊

[@wanderantics2898]

Mayhem and insanity 😁The ice crawling was intense as heck (and also hilarious 🤣) Seriously though it was a really good idea you had a rope with you to pull stuff (and Tom 😃) over the river. -11 is pretty serious, but at least you had sun not the usual Finno-Ugric doom and gloom 😛I hope you both remained healthy. All in all a success in my eyes for having a crazy-ass adventure and new (and also certainly useful experience) 💪

[@TOM-ITI]

Yes, that ice crossing was intense but fun and the rope came in clutch. We had a hot bath later that day and fortunately didn't catch a cold. We actually almost didn't make a video out of this one.😅 But glad to know people still enjoyed it! 😊

[@harmhoekstra22]

What a great idea to define a line random by shooting an arrow! Winter makes the mission at least 3 times more difficult by the looks of it. Nevertheless, this was a great attempt, and I've enjoyed watching. Maybe pick up the line in a couple of months.

[@TOM-ITI]

Thanks a lot! You read our minds 😃 We have thought of trying the same line again with more suitable conditions.

[@InNominePraxis]

I enjoyed this a lot, great padding content in between your main uploads

[@TOM-ITI]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@KevisOutdoors]

Still a good adventure, and better safe and "fail" but continue on the line for more fun.

[@mikuskapostins5751]

you never know if you dont try. great attempt and the video!

[@TOM-ITI]

Absolutely!

[@top1gaming472]

It feels like there is no proper winter here anymore, it was -23 for a day but now it's back to +1 and all the snow is melting. Nice to see you enjoying what is left of it though!

[@TOM-ITI]

Yes, now it's again like the end of autumn

[@peterunderhill175]

very nice to see what winter is like in Estonia, here its like extended autumn. Have you ever considered making winter camping videos because it doesn't look like hiking in winter is very enjoyable haha. Im surprised to see any unfrozen water at all , if other days have been -6 and you hiked in -11, water should have cooled enough to freeze within hours. Greetings from Latvia.

[@agevalgepea7873]

Running water takes more time to freeze, especially when the current is quicker.

[@top1gaming472]

Hi from Finland, winter does seem like autumn here too, we barely get under -20 at all. From my experience running water doesn't really freeze until it gets cold, but it only needs to freeze once then it stays frozen until it becomes warm enough again to melt.

[@TOM-ITI]

Well, now the snow has mostly melted and it's around 0 degrees again 😅 And in that particular ditch the water was flowing so it takes longer to freeze.

[@black_eagle]

The google pronunciation sounded half-American, half-English. Americans say "gu-RAJ" (like "mirage"), English say "GARE-uj" (like "carriage").

Great teamwork guys! yr follower from Riga

[@TOM-ITI]

I mean yes, obviously! 😅

[@johanness.5161]

Love it! Wish I'll have a girlfriend like her one day, but they are rare.

[@munthon]

You guys had snow? In Riga we had snow for 2 days or something this winter. The rest of it is +5 ish.

[@TOM-ITI]

Well, the snow has now mostly melted here 😅

[@imantsvolkovs2447]

I know objective, but I wouldnt skip lunch :D

[@TOM-ITI]

Yes, we shouldn't have skipped lunch but at the time the idea of sitting in the cold and warming up water seemed too much for us 😅

[@janismancevics6638]

First! 😁

[@TOM-ITI]

Congratulations! We should create a leaderboard for first commenters 😃 Then in the end of the year we can see who's the yearly winner

[@janismancevics6638]

@ Mmm… I’ll then have to stay vigilant for new videos! 😅

[@Uraken3d]

And we have no snow at all this winter..... (

[@Jay-mc2dz]

The way you said garage was correct for European English, don't listen to that digital provocation unless you want to sound like an American 😅

Vaatan, et teil oleks igal juhul selle joonega lõpus probleeme tulnud. Kui õigesti vaatasin, siis see läks üsna Mustjärve keskelt, kus mõlemalt poolt tuleks üle 100m ring sisse. Kuid tahtsin küsida, et miks te kuvate oma jooni google mapsi abil? Kas sellepärast, et oleks rahvusvahelisel vaatajaskonnal kergemini arusaadav või te planeeritegi google mapsi kasutades (mõtlen küll teisi videosid)? Selles mõttes google maps on kohutav Eesti Maaameti rakenduste kõrval. Mul jäi lihtsalt vist äkki Hiiumaa või Saaremaa videos kõrvu, et te mõtlesite, et kas tuleb põld või heinamaa, aga Maaameti kaldaerofotosid või ajaloolist rakendust kasutades oleks see ju kohe ilmne, mis sealt peaks tulema. Igatahes lahe kanal ja edu edasistel ettevõtmistel!

[@TOM-ITI]

Jah, seekord tegime täiesti suvalise joonega rännaku. Tavaliselt valime väga hoolikalt kust ja kuidas joon läbi läheb. Peamiselt tõesti kasutame Google Earth Pro'd aga küll aga kasutame ka Maaameti kaardirakendusi, et mingit detailsemat teavet saada. Ning jah, Hiiumaa joonega oli nüüd selline lugu, et alguses pidi joon minema hoopis teisest kohast, aga päev enne retke muutsime ümber ja polnud enam päris kindlad, mis joonel täpselt on. (muutsime, sest selgus, et joon läheb läbi jahimeeste lasketiiru, kus ei tohtinud viibida) Aga soovitused ja muud nipid on alati teretulnud! Hea meelega arendame oma planeerimis oskusi 😁

[@KKTKTube]

I'm sorry neighbors, have you been in penguin, polar bear, white walker country? How can you have so much snow and so cold? 8o

[@TOM-ITI]

Well, now snow has mostly melted and it's quite warm again. So I guess we got lucky and one week was proper winter for us

[@supaman6713]

That Estonian accent is so annoyingly cute 😫
