Look at you walking through a massive airport with loads of people and talking to the camera! Go you! 🙂👍
@@zaneraza4044Tom notoriously hates talking with people around. It's actually a major step for him.
@@zaneraza4044 @mariabengtsson6866 is referring to Thomas's fear of filming around people. Oh, I guess I'll say welcome to the channel?
@@zaneraza4044I guess that’s one way to tell everyone you haven’t watched many of his videos without actually saying you haven’t watched many of his videos. 🙄
I guess the daily vlog did the ice breaking job for Tom 😂❤
Tom's advice about compressing down is a myth. As long as the goose or duck down jacket/sleeping bag is clean, then it can be compressed for months without a problem. A good quality goose down product can even be tightly compressed into a rock-hard ball for years without the down itself losing any loft. That is a fact.
Thank you for visiting my country. Never ever have I dreamt of my favourite photographer heading to Mongolia. It will be very DRY cold there. Hope you'll have an amazing experience. And photos of course.
My wife has just retired as a teacher and she went to Mongolia to teach English and help with some charity work so she spent a lot of time with locals and their families, EVERYONE she met were really lovely, extremely helpful and friendly, I can’t wait for my chance to visit.
Have you encounter a photographer from your country?
Your country is incredible: the landscapes, wildlife, food and most of all, the people 🙏
You are the only RUclipsr that can make a boring-ass journey on a plane interesting and fun. Great stuff! Hope you are having a great time.
Haha. It was boring. Thank you.
I’m so excited for this series of videos, Mongolia is one of my bucket list locations.
I don’t know why I am watching this with a smile on my face. I feel like I’m living that adventure with you. Can’t wait for the next video !
Hey Thomas, this is already an interesting excursion to watch. You're not only an excellent photographer, but you are also an excellent story teller. My husband and I love your videos. We are looking forward to your next video in this series.
Many thanks. I hope you enjoy the series.
Need. More. Heaton! Eagerly anticipating the video about trying to shoot snow leopards! Love your videos. :)
Hi mate , as a Mongolian wish you all the best in our beautiful country. Cant wait for the next videos. Be calm its only snow leopard 😊
Man that’s was all kinds of epic !! Looks like some insane amount of organisation too and glad it all went to plan!! Will be interesting to see how the batteries hold up in that cold weather
Yes it was! Lots of logistics.
Thanks Thomas for taking the viewer with you ! A fantastic adventure! Looking forward to the next one.
Ps nice music with the video
Wow, what an amazing trip! Look forward to following along. 🙂
I can't wait for the next episode !!!!, thank You for sharing
I never considered Mongolia as a travel destination, but I am really looking forward to the next instalment. What a fabulous adventure this will be 🤩
You should, it wonderful.
I trust you are still alive and kicking!?? Waiting for the next instalment of your Mongolia trip. Having to watch hardcastle while your off line 😂
Yes, me too, hope that snow leopard hasn't eaten him!
Excited for the rest of this! Feels like a right mission/adventure already!
I am sooooo excited for next video :) I really hope you find loads of snow leopards
The start of an adventure! I can’t wait to see more. Thanks for taking me along!
love the travel / behind the scenes luggage anxiety... it's all so real!!
Wow, what epic adventure. Look forward to watching the next video with snow leopards.
Wow Tom the trip of a lifetime
This is a great example that although getting to see finished images is a treat, your videos easily stand on their own. What a cool journey. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks, Heath. Will we be seeing any vids from Japan?
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto you will indeed.
Looking forward to the next episode
Would be really interesting to see all the planning and logistics that go into a trip like that. You make it look so effortless!
What an adventure! Good luck. Can't wait for the next video.
Thomas, for me this was a wonderful video. In my younger days, I had to travel to many remote areas of the world to provide engineering assistance. Multiple flights, multiple hotels, and long drives can be very tough. You handle the travel quite well, better than many. Believe me, bag paranoia is quite real!
Congrats on the half million subs! With videos like this, you’re not far from one million! Keep up the amazing work, Thomas! Thanks for sharing these incredible moments!
Another 10 years and we might get there 🎉
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto Something tells me it’s going to be well before that 😀
Mate buzzing to see the adventures of Mongolia! 🇲🇳
Wow! I can hardly wait to see what you get!
This looks like it's going to be an awesome trip! Can't wait of the next video!
I have never been stopped for carry on gear, although I have never had to travel with a big prime. The trick is to have a good sized personal item that holds a fair amount of gear, but does not look bulky. My typical travel photography kit all fits in the personal item, so if forced to - I can check the roller and still keep my camera gear on me. Gear includes: 100-400, 24-70, 16-35, main body, backup body, point and shoot, and usually a prime also.
Really cool trip. I love the lounge in the Istanbul airport.
Happy to be watching your videos again. I’ve been a long time follower and used to watch all of your videos. Took a two year hiatus after I started having kids, but watching more of your videos and love that you’re still making content
Unbelievable adventure! Go, Thomas! Can’t believe the travel hours, and yet you are cheerful and energetic! Looking forward to your next video❤❤❤
.God yes! I had to take a nap after just watching this!
cannot wait to watch your progress!
Great start to the trip, Tom! Looking forward to the continuation from the Altai Mountains!
Dear Thomas, you made me remember the snow leopard scene from the Walter Mitty movie. Good luck with finding the Ghost Cat. 🎉
This is going to be a fascinating series. Thoroughly enjoyed episode 1. Can’t wait for next week!!
Seriously:
There is no better way to start a trip than giving an overnight stop in Istanbul!
a) This Metropol is one of the most interesting around the world
b) Turkish breakfast buffet is awesome
c) prices are moderate
Whoa, I'm glad you did that journey as it means I didn't have to. What a trek. Looking forward to your adventures next week.
As a sports photographer, I have felt that anxiety on every flight i've been on for the last decade...
Great start to hopefully another fantastic series and you’re not alone about airport stress, I’m sure there are many of us like you that go through the same turmoil when travelling. Enjoyed the newsletter too and looking forward to next weeks video
Great Video Thomas, the trip to Spain has made huge changes to your presentation style and content! thanks for sharing
The Altai is amazing! I spent 3 weeks there doing multi-day kayak trips in 2004. We paddled the Katun, Argut and Chyua rivers. The people were some of the friendliest I've ever met. Looking forward to the series!
Wow, that sounds incredible. I'd love to revisit in summer.
Great Vid Tom and looks like a lot of fun. Even with the stressful check ins.
Super video - I empathise completely about the stress of carrying photo gear on flights. I'm glad you had no problems.
LOVED the view of the mountains from the plane. Also, the light looks so pure, empty and clean. Having a great trip, thanks, lol. Looking forward..........
This video was fantastic. I can't wait to follow along with the rest of your trip. Thanks!
Wowser - And now for something completely different - what an adventure! Looking fwd to the next instalment - good luck!
You are by far my favorite landscape photographer! Thank you for the content Thomas!
Wow, thanks! That means a lot with so many great names out there.
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto well now that you mention it Gavin from fototripper might be a little better 😂😂😉…. Not really but we can let him believe what he wants!
Great video, looks like it's going to be a fun series.
I just came back from my trip to Japan, Australia and New Zealand. My carry-on was 11,5kg (max. allowed weight is +- 7kg). It was no issue at all. I think they don’t really care much about weight as long as you don’t carry really big bags as carry-on.
Fantastic video, glad you included the travelling and the walk around. Looking forward to the next one. The newsletter was fantastic.
It is a great country with friendly people, i went to the Altai mountains in the west to see the Eagle Festival, wow that was something special and what a way to remember my 70th birthday
That was a fun video to watch. Great editing and can't wait for the next one! Safe travels!
Best wishes for the rest of your tour. You've paid the price in getting there. Hopefully your return journey will be filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Great video Thomas, many thanks 🙂
Just saw Mongolia on a Netflix production and fell in love with the landscapes .... SO can't wait to see next weeks episode ! Have fun and enjoy the wonders of Nature ! :-)
What a trip of a lifetime. Looking forward to the next instalment.
from Portugal I wish you a fantastic stay and good photos and videos
Fun stuff. I was there in 1990 during the spring. An adventure I will never forget.
Quality on this channel and video is insane, felt like i was watching a documentary of some sorts. I'll check out part 2 once that comes out!
I'm looking forward to the videos to follow!
One of your more epic episodes❤
Traveling through airports stresses me out. When your traveling through different countries like that do you find that the airport staff speaks English well enough to workout flight issues like you had?
Jason
@primaloutdoors follows @thomasheaton?!?!?! If this isn't the coolest thing.....no hang on!! It IS! My two favourite RUclipsrs! 🙂
FYI for anyone traveling with lithium batteries.
Batteries (carried as spares) Spare batteries for portable electronic devices containing lithium ion batteries exceeding a Watt-hour rating of 100 Wh but not exceeding 160 Wh when carried for personal use. No more than two individually protected spare batteries per person may be carried.
Awesome, Tom. Looking forward to it. Good luck! Cheers!
Wow a video focused on searching for snow leopards would be an absolute dream. I’m currently reading the snow leopard by peter matthiessen and funnily enough the secret life of walter mitty and that snow leopard scene specifically was one of my biggest inspirations for jumping into photography. Safe travels mate
Wow!!!! That is a trip I can only ever dream about so thank you for sharing the experience with us all. Top man!!!!😀
0:32 fun fact, you actually don’t need to specify Fahrenheit vs Celsius here because -40C = -40F
I can absolutely relate to how stressful travel with kit is. I'm lucky that Lufthansa/Brussels with whom I travel 90% of the time don't generally weigh camera gear, and the people at checkin seem to understand you are carrying expensive gear and be more tolerant with oversize and so on.
Not what happened at Heathrow UK! Polite sure! This way Sir! Translated to watch, what we say and do to you! Never again via UK.
Let the Mongolia adventure begin, it is very exciting. 🌎🧿☕️
Argh! i was hooked from the get go couldnt wait to see the Landscape and snow leopards then you left me hanging Lol another great video , and a few laughs thrown in . enjoy your trip
Incredible!! Can't wait to see this series
Pretty excited to see next weeks video!
have a great time
Istanbul airport is incredible. I spent 2 nights in Istanbul on a stopover a few years ago. Incredible city
Totally amazing Thomas to do that trip I am soooo jealous right now but best of luck and have a safe journey 📸📸
This is as good as it gets! Outstanding content as always! 👏😀👍🦦
Let the adventure begin! Good luck Thomas.
Hi Tom, Hope you have a fantastic time, looking forward to seeing the video next week. I have seen and walked past leopards in South Africa so I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures. Have Fun
Great travel video Tom. Top tip. Check if your phone has esim. Can set up access in advance and no need to go shopping.
What an adventure, wish you luck. I can't wait to see what happens.
What a start to an amazing adventure! I can't wait for next week's upload to see how you get on. Good luck!
Can’t wait for the next video 🙂
Epic cliffhanger. Can’t wait for next week. 😊
I felt stressed watching your stress. Travelling really does me in. Plus I’m a bit of an insomniac. I envy people who can sleep anywhere, anytime etc. 👍📸
Loved Mongolia - spent over 12 months working there, a correction though it is not Chinngis Khan Square it is Sükhbaatar Square in UB, easy mistake to make I suppose, he does make a formidable appearance overlooking the square but its named after the bloke on the horse in the middle. Anyway, they had ice scupltures of the Beatles when I was there - absolutely brilliantly done. Loved my time there and met some wonderful and friendly people. The place should be on everyones bucket list.
Glad you were lucky with your luggage :-) Yes, it's mostly in your head, all those worries.
But my last travel, I spent 9 days in Morocco without my luggage... unfortunately my tripod was in the main luggage, so it meant me hand-holding a camera for the whole trip - not my favorite way of photography. Picked up my bags just before I left Morocco again. Fingers crossed for my next trip in February
I live only 2000km away from Mongolia, I've always dreamed of going, never been yet so your trip will be inspiring for me! Can't wait to see the rest of it!
Thank you very much for visiting Mongolia. Please come again. My country is a land of nine jewels
Wow what a wonderful trip to go on. Looking forward to viewing your images...stay warm..Best wishes.
Good luck on getting some great shots!!
Thanks Thomas. I'm too old for this kind of travels and with your videos I can dream a bit.
Wow, that's an adventure just getting there. Looking forward to seeing what you get. You did well filming in the airports.
You really are living the dream, cant wait for the next instalment. 😀
Great video Thomas!
Love Mongolia, what a place I really want to go back!
Wow! Can't wait for the next video.
What a cliff hanger to end this video can`t wait to see next week`s episode What an exciting journey!!
I do it all the time. Tip take off waist belt before boarding and develop a technique to make it look light when you put bag in overhead locker. I have an Atlas 40 litre bag
