The End

It's a beautiful day in the Canadian Rockies.

As you can see, it's sunny and warm despite all the snow.

It's only like negative one right now.

And I have a good feeling about today.

We're heading up to some ice caves.

I've never been up here before.

I brought my climbing helmet just in case because I'm not sure what the cave situation is actually like.

So we'll see.

Sometimes I step back and realize how incredible it is to be doing stuff like this.

This is what I pictured myself doing as a kid.

Like just hiking off into the wilderness by myself.

But as a kid I knew nothing about hiking or the outdoors.

It just seemed so impossible and so out of reach.

So the fact that I'm able to do these things now and is actually part of my regular routine is really incredible.

And I just find myself like smiling on the trail, realizing that I'm like healing my inner child a little bit because this is what she would have wanted.

I think I'm starting to get close.

I see some frozen waterfalls way up there.

And if I'm not mistaken, I think that over there might be the ice cave

and a half kilometers in and we've made it to the actual trailhead finally get to get off this road

I'm breathing heavy.

I'm warming up.

Ow.

My hair is stuck in the poles.

I think.

Ow.

Come on.

Ow.

Okay.

I'm getting toasty.

There was a steep bit back there that I was hiking up, and that, in addition to the loose snow, is a bit of a workout, I'm being honest.

We're so close to the ice caves, though, I can see, I think, the cave that I'm going to.

I'm also glad I wore my spikes.

Not really necessary, because it's not icy, but it does help give you some traction in the snow.

Onwards and upwards.

I haven't even hit the steepest part yet, look at that.

The steepest is yet to come.

This is a burner.

My calves are on fire.

My ankles are on fire.

I don't want to talk to you right now, but I'm so out of breath.

It would just probably sound gross, because I'm just like heaving.

But here I am doing it anyway, I guess.

I can't even describe the peace of mind you get.

like if you've done hikes like this you know

but like sorry I'm out of breath the peace of mind you get from just being out here

and it's completely silent like all I can hear is my breathing

and my feet on the snow but when I stop walking it's like nothing

except for my breathing these are the moments

that make me proud to be Canadian this like

when I come out into the woods

or come out into the mountains this to me is Canada and this is the part that I'm proud of.

Like, I drive an hour out of the city and suddenly I'm here.

I'm almost at the top, also, I think.

Actually, probably not.

I am 6.61 kilometers deep.

I mean, yeah, almost at the top, but I have a big spike, so it's steep for a while.

I'm catching my breath.

That's a big-ass ice cave.

Like, I saw the photos, but it looks so much bigger in person.

Right up there.

It's massive.

We made it look at this thing Dude I Know they said it was gonna be an ice cave,

but it's like a ice cave and the best part is I get to actually go inside side.

You know when you pass by something cool like this on the road

or like on a hike and you can't go off the trail, but I actually get to go in here like this is the coolest thing ever.

I probably say that in every single video when I go somewhere new, but this is the coolest thing ever.

I probably have five straight minutes of footage of me just like staring up.

I'm baffled.

I'm amazed.

I'm in awe.

What I said earlier about the ice spikes being optional, not so much.

I feel like those rocks would have been sketchy without the spikes.

Wow, look at this rock.

Rock climbing here would be so fun.

Okay, should we go inside or what?

Dude.

I'm not sure if the helmet's really necessary, and it kind of looks a little goofy, but there are shards of ice on the roof pretty high up, and it's a warm day,

so better safe than sorry.

There's salt crystals up here.

This does go in pretty deep and it's kind of creepy

but I have my headlamp so I'm gonna go in a little bit.

I'm going in.

Alright.

Oh god.

I'm going into the deep dark part of the cave.

And I'm letting you know right now that I'm absolutely terrified, but I'm doing it anyway.

Oh my gosh, look at these ice.

Look at these crystals here.

There's some ice crystals in here.

Some icicles up there that look a little bit dangerous.

Some ice bubbles down here.

Wow.

God.

whoa that's crazy look at those i'm not wearing my glasses

from far away i thought those were like man-made poles

or wooden poles or something

but look at this look at these things they're just ice i'm not sure where the drips are coming from

but that's so cool oh my god that's just ice Look at these little ice mushrooms How peculiar,

100

I was not expecting to see that From farther away, I thought those were like man-made posts or something But they're just ice mushrooms,

101

that's normal Here There's a bunch of them down there That thing is sturdy too, like it's strong So cool

102

The roof is super shiny.

103

I'm not sure if it's ice or some kind of crystals, but it's very sparkly up there.

104

That's deep and dark.

105

Look, my flashlight isn't even lighting it up.

106

I'm not going that far, but let's go a little bit farther.

107

These things are hilarious.

108

All right.

109

I think I'm turning back because that looks treacherously dark and scary.

110

Oh my goodness.

111

This is such a cool experience.

112

I can't believe this.

113

I'm going to have to come back down here with some friends

114

and make them go down there with me because I want to see, but I'm kind of scared.

115

Alright, I'm

116

gonna have myself a little breakfast slash lunch.

117

It's definitely not morning anymore, so it's more like lunch, but I'm gonna eat a snack, and I'm gonna get myself back to the car because I don't want to be driving home too late.

118

I'm gonna eat my lunch right here.

119

I brought an apple, some cheese slices, and some Christmas cookies.

120

Tis the season.

121

So when I was doing my research online about these ice caves, people mentioned to bring extra layers and jackets because it's really cold in there, but I had a little secret trick up my sleeve, quite literally.

122

I'm wearing a heated jacket.

123

This is from the brand Dubu, and they're actually the sponsor of today's video, and the first ever proper sponsor of this channel.

124

So thank you to Dubu for funding our little adventure today.

125

Promise you I would not show you any product or brand

126

that I didn't think was actually good but i love this jacket

127

so much i didn't know heated jackets

128

or clothes existed before they sent this to me

129

but ever since they sent me this i've been wearing it every single day i wore it last week

130

when we hiked up prairie mountain yo i have internet here it's crazy you have internet yeah

131

and it was a lot colder than it was today

132

and it kept me toasty warm the whole time there's you can set it to high medium

133

or low and there's like a battery pack right in here

134

and it has like 10 hours of battery and i've tested

135

that it actually does have a really long lasting battery so shout out to Dubu.

136

Thank you so much for this jacket.

137

This is a fleece, but I think they have like shells and pants and like vests and things.

138

So if you want some hot pants, keep your butt warm for the winter.

139

Check out Dubu.

140

I think I have a link down below.

141

So I just turned this on and in about five minutes I'm gonna be a much cozier person.

142

The sun is gonna set at like 4 30 and I don't want to drive all the way home in the dark.

143

So I have a bit of a ways to hike back, so I should get going.

144

this is such a perfect day this is what i'm talking

145

about like i just drove an hour out of the city hiked up to some freaking ice caves

146

and then i'm gonna be home in time for dinner

147

like i love long term trips and big excursions

148

but like these day hikes are just as fulfilling but much less exhausting Okay.

149

Bye.

150

Bye ice caves.

151

Love you.

152

Maybe I'll see you in the summer.

153

I'm sorry.

154

Hi Coco.

155

According to my all trails, I've done 14.52 kilometers in just about five hours.

156

I was frolicking around in the caves there for a bit, so that added to the time for sure.

157

That was an incredible day, and I definitely want to bring some people and go back

158

and explore hopefully a little deeper into the caves when I'm not alone and scared.

159

I'm going to head on home.

160

Thanks so much for hanging out with me today.

161

I will see you hopefully next time.

162

Bye!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
