What is the ExifTool syntax to extract thumbnails from raw to a specific folder?

My source folders are on an external hard drive, but I want my thumbnails local. The following works, but it puts all the extracted files in the same folder as the source files, which requires another step to collect them and move them to a folder on my local machine. 

exiftool -b -ThumbnailImage -w _thumb.jpg -ext CR2 -r source_folder_path\ > _extraction_results.txt

Is there any way to write them to a different folder in the same call to ExifTool?

Thanks!

Add the directory path to name given in the -w (textout) option (see examples at that link).

Example: exiftool -b -ThumbnailImage -w /path/to/thumbdir/%f_thumb.jpg -ext CR2 -r source_folder_path\ > _extraction_results.txt
