I'm a little bit sick right now because I just spent the night in the rainiest town in America.

But I didn't sleep in a hotel.

I slept in a car.

Ladies and gentlemen, here's the story of when I car camped in the rainiest town in America.

Let's go.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the big island of Hawaii.

We are in Hilo, one of the rainiest cities in the world and the rainiest city in America.

And I got one very simple mission, ladies and gentlemen.

Survive the night camping in that car right there.

There's currently a flood watch going on right now.

In fact, if you look at my weather app, it literally shows, uh, like, every day raining.

Which, I mean, makes sense.

You know, rainiest town in America.

I get it.

But still, worth noting.

As you can tell, I'm a little unprepared.

But I'm prepared to get prepared.

You know what I mean?

So, before I tell you the plan or do anything else, let's go find a base camp that we can call home for the night.

What a time to be alive.

We're on an island right now.

You kidding me?

So off I went in search of the perfect car camping location.

There was actually a spot I found using the satellite part of Google Maps that I was trying to find.

The only problem is I had no idea what to expect once I got there in person, which made me a little nervous.

But sure enough, I found the campsite just as the rain was starting to let up.

Perfect!

Okay guys, well I think I just successfully found the most beautiful car camping spot in the history of the known universe.

Like look where we are right now, are you kidding me?

I bought a drone to make this video feel a bit more epic.

I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Okay, that's enough of that.

I literally feel like I'm in Moana right now or Tarzan or I don't even know.

I don't even have words to describe it.

I'm just using Disney movies at this point.

Point is, it doesn't feel real.

But you know what does feel real?

My car camping survival game plan.

Now, the rain has let up for just a minute here, which is great so I can talk to you.

But more is on its way.

You can literally see the clouds coming off in the distance.

It looks like the rain is already coming back.

So I gotta tell you the plan quickly.

Goal number one, explore and get acquainted with this town and part of the island.

People have told me that there's waterfalls and caves and...

I even heard there's a 7-Eleven around here somewhere.

I know.

It's crazy.

I wanna see what the rainiest town in America is like.

Goal number two, get supplies to survive the night.

I came incredibly unprepared, I realized that.

And I've car camped in the past and been super unprepared.

But today, we're gonna change that and make sure we have everything that we need for an awesome night.

I'm talking snacks, I'm talking lights, I'm talking vibes, I'm talking...

Oreos.

Number three, I'm gonna set up camp and survive the night.

And fourth, if I can make it through the night, I want to wake up and I want to take a shower in a real life waterfall.

I don't know if it's possible, but I'm gonna try to make it possible.

But before we get on with our plan, I gotta give you guys a tour of my whip.

I said I gotta give you guys a tour of my whip.

First stop, we gotta show you the driver side.

No smoking, no eating, minimize sand.

But I don't see anything about no sleeping.

I also might break the eating rule. And the sand rule.

You don't have to worry about smoking.

Look how massive this screen is.

That thing is like the size of my face.

Second up, we got the back seat.

The cool part about the back seat is that these little guys...

fold down.

This is going to be a ton of space.

This folds down as well.

It's going to create a whole little platform here that we can use as a bed.

I know.

And last but not least, the trunk.

Now, this does come off, but I'm not going to be taking it off because it's about to start raining.

Pretty standard trunk, if you know what I mean.

And last but not least, look at that view.

Now that's gonna be a nice view to wake up to and it's starting to rain Like clockwork.

It was time to complete the first of our four goals So I set off to explore the island.

Now look I already know what you're thinking, Antonio Why are you doing this?

I have this super fond memory of my grandpa who was like my hero in life and myself

Sitting out on his front porch

while the rain was just coming down outside early in the morning

and funny enough that moment for me is like Peak safety, peak coziness and where I live it feels like it doesn't rain that much

So why not come here to the rainiest town in America

spend a little time camping in my car seems like a

logical next step I kept on hearing about this beautiful massive waterfall

So I decided

that is the first place I wanted to go check out the only sad part about this is

that I have to do it by myself because Hey, it's Chris.

I did not want you to come along From the middle of the road.

I hope you're okay with this.

I brought snacks.

Hey, I guess you're car camping with me everybody Welcome Chris.

I love that your name is on your shirt by the way Just in case you get confused.

The Weather Channel, Hawaii faces flood threat again as powerful bands of rain move in this week.

Wee!

100

I'm playing intense music now because this is how I was feeling headed to the waterfall.

101

It's crazy because it's literally just starting and stopping raining, starting and stopping raining just over and over and over again.

102

okay it's really starting to come down now oh dang the camera lens

103

but there's a waterfall down here somewhere that we were headed to hike

104

and find we are in straight rainforest right now It's just my favorite biome.

105

This place was absolutely beautiful

106

and I kind of felt like I was in a real-life video game heading to my checkpoint Oh my goodness, this is insane!

107

We're not even at the waterfall yet and this tree, I feel like it's about to start speaking to me.

108

God's creation 10 out of 10 God, 10 out of 10

109

I almost feel bad ruining this shot with my big head, but that is one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen.

110

Our first stop in exploring this island was a success, but we weren't done yet.

111

Next stop, the caves.

112

all right guys down this way are some caves

113

so I hear they're pretty cool let's go explore

114

and see what they got we got to see why did I completely butcher the delivery of

115

that line does anybody know

116

what this animal is listen what is that Sounds like a Super Mario game.

117

Meanwhile, we have to go in here.

118

This is what?

119

40 year old dude.

120

Bro.

121

After a while, I realized how deep this cave was going to go and decided to make the executive decision to stop.

122

That's the entrance.

123

Look at that.

124

Yeah, we'd better get back.

125

I don't have any business in this cave.

126

I don't know what lies in this cave.

127

I also realized we were walking on hardened lava from a lava river that used to be used to flow through here.

128

All right, it's been real.

129

It's been a fun cave.

130

Guys, there's chickens under here.

131

You guys got to go.

132

You got to go.

133

We're moving the car.

134

I don't want any scrambled eggs, you know?

135

As we headed to explore our last stop, Chris uttered a profound statement.

136

It feels very rainy in here.

137

All right, so some of that exploring It may have had me a little bit uncomfortable, sure, but if there's one place that I'm in my element, it's a gas station.

138

And why not try the gas station in the rainiest city in America?

139

I'm gonna try to find some snacks for our car camping situation tonight just to make it a little bit more fun.

140

Stop judging- I can feel you judging me through the screen- Stop ju-

141

Now I can say I've been to the world's snowiest 7-Eleven, 7-Eleven and the world's rainiest one.

142

Maybe I should try and find the world's hottest

143

One of the rainiest towns on the planet has a Walmart

144

a couple of months ago I car camped in the world's snowiest town

145

and I literally did not get anything I needed

146

so I've learned from my mistake

147

and I'm coming to this Walmart with a long list of

148

things to make this car camping Experience way better than the last one.

149

Let's just do this to be safe Yes.

150

Things were going great until we ran into some bad news about our stove and food situation.

151

No more propane in the whole store.

152

It's all sold out.

153

Other places can we buy this?

154

It's because we had the storms.

155

Everybody's selling out all this stuff.

156

Oh really?

157

Looks like we might be having some cold food tonight.

158

Oh my goodness.

159

Get the wood ready.

160

Our plan for cooking dinner is going to have to change.

161

While we worked on a backup plan that might involve McDonald's, we kept on purchasing supplies.

162

So I made some friends here in Gilo.

163

What are your names?

164

Solana.

165

And you like that. And?

166

Kupa'a.

167

Kupa'a.

168

I then asked them what it's like living here in the rainiest town.

169

Instead of it raining for one day, it wants to rain for a month.

170

Oh, yeah.

171

And then we get sun for a month.

172

So the rain is good and sustainable for us.

173

We have no water, we have no showers, we have no toilets, we have no water.

174

So you guys own a business here?

175

Yes, I do.

176

Nice, what is it called?

177

It's called Imaimeo's Hawaiian Grand.

178

The Hawaiians can be naked actually from generations.

179

I just love sharing the aloha and the Hawaiians through money.

180

These guys were awesome.

181

Here's the restaurant so you can support their local business if you're ever in Hawaii.

182

Or show them love on instagram tell them tonio sent you all right guys we got all our items

208

Good news, ladies and gentlemen, we have gotten all of our supplies.

209

Bad, maybe not bad news, but just reality.

210

It's getting dark and we're gonna be setting up a little bit in the dark, but that's okay.

211

Next stop, our camp spot.

212

And like clockwork, the darker it got, the rainier it got.

213

You know, you're doing great, bro.

214

I'm like, trucks like that.

215

All right guys, we just made it back to the camp spot.

216

I'm not going to lie, driving here was a little bit terrifying because there was like a torrential downpour, two lane roads right on the coast.

217

One wrong move, your boy is cooked.

218

It's dark, the rain is coming down out there.

219

We found like a covering right here that we pulled the car up to.

220

We're going to use this to help us get the car all set up, cozy.

221

We got the snacks.

222

We got the bedding, we got everything.

223

So, let's get our car nice and cozy.

224

We may have got too big of a air mattress, but we're gonna make it work.

225

Here we go, ready?

226

One, two, three.

227

Oh my god.

228

Oh, are you okay?

229

It's time.

230

One, two, three.

231

One, two, three.

232

One, two, three.

233

One, two, three.

234

One, two, three.

235

One, two, three.

236

One, two, three.

237

Yeah.

238

Look at that.

239

So listen, part of life here is expectations management.

240

Okay?

241

What you want to do is, you want to learn to manage your expectations.

242

Because sometimes things don't work out like you planned.

243

Now the only thing I'm slightly concerned about here is it's already getting very hot in this beautiful.

244

So cross that bridge when we come through.

245

We got a lot before then.

246

It's really starting to come down now.

247

This brings back memories of my childhood.

248

Next up is central in any car camping build.

249

Say it with me.

250

Lighting.

251

Let's go.

252

After we got the bed set up, we decided to try and set up an outdoor tent that we could dry off in before getting straight into the car.

253

The plan was to set it up under the covering and walk it over to our car campsite.

254

This didn't work.

255

The issue is stakes aren't going into the ground.

256

Also no light.

257

Also raining really hard.

258

Also exhausted.

259

I think we throw in the towel on the tent and focus on the car.

260

Okay.

261

It's car camping.

262

It's not tent camping.

263

Time to drive over to our spot.

264

I'm feeling good.

265

We have no idea how to get back there now.

266

When we pulled up to the site and started to get in, we realized the air mattress would force us to lay down and we wouldn't be able to eat or do anything.

267

Bro, that's too thick.

268

We gotta go take the air mattress out.

269

Sad day, but I'm making the executive decision to get rid of the air mattress.

270

It's just simply too fluffy.

271

Hello, my friends.

272

The rain is pitter pattering.

273

We have successfully situated ourselves.

274

As you You can see we got some string lights.

275

If you're wondering where Chris is, he's in the front seat.

276

The ocean is right there, as you guys saw earlier.

277

So between the waves and the rain noises, we're going to be sleeping pretty good.

278

But are you hungry?

279

Yeah.

280

I'm so hungry right now.

281

Walmart was literally completely sold out of propane because I guess there's a flood coming.

282

We opted for the next best thing.

283

McDonald's.

284

This car's finished.

285

Steak.

286

It's in a steak.

287

This car is about to smell like beef and cheese.

288

Here we go, we got the cooler.

289

A bit unfortunate, but the bags of McDonald's got rained on a little bit.

290

You can see they're not in the best condition.

291

Everything in this video has gotten rained.

292

Everything.

293

Anything that can absorb.

294

Oh my gosh.

295

Guys, we're the worst car campers.

296

McDonald's in Hawaii, I think is nicer than the other McDonald's.

297

So if this can happen to them.

298

Maybe it's not, because they've got to get it to an island.

299

What do we think?

300

Thank you lord for this food. For friendship.

301

Hi.

302

Hi.

303

Hi.

304

Yeeeeee!

305

Thanks.

306

Alright.

307

That's good. That hits.

308

If prepared was the person...

309

We wouldn't know.

310

Snack going in there.

311

I think we had milk.

312

Here you go.

313

That's good oil.

314

This, plus not brushing my teeth tonight.

315

Chris and I enjoyed the rest of our healthy, nutritious meal.

316

And if I'm being completely honest, for a while I forgot that I was even car camping.

317

And before long it was time for bed.

318

Chris went to throw stuff away.

319

I'm so excited and also very nervous to try and shower in a waterfall tomorrow.

320

We still gotta survive the night in here.

321

See you guys in the morning for hopefully sunrise unless it's cloudy, cloudrise.

322

I don't know.

323

I don't know where you're watching right now.

324

Probably on your couch.

325

Maybe with your family.

326

In which case, hi everybody.

327

Thanks for watching.

328

Maybe subscribe, maybe like the video.

329

But I am saying goodnight from the rainiest town in America.

330

God bless you.

331

Good morning.

332

I made it through the night.

333

It's early.

334

I'll tell you what friends, this right here is a great way to wake up.

335

And guys, we survived the night.

336

What else is cool is that it seems like the weather breaks, like the rain breaks in the morning.

337

It's like if you could just make it through the night into the morning, it chills out a little bit.

338

It probably will get bad again later, but right now you can start to see the sun peeking through the clouds, which is awesome.

339

But this video is not over.

340

I need a Hawaiian cup of coffee and I need to go take a shower.

341

And there's only one place that's appropriate for me to take a shower.

342

Can you guess it?

343

A waterfall!

344

Look at our beauty.

345

On my way to the waterfall, I stopped by a local coffee shop and made a friend.

346

My name's Larry.

347

Larry, great to meet you brother.

348

Antonio.

349

Antonio.

350

I told him about my waterfall mission and with his encouragement, I had to make it happen.

351

Now I don't know how clean that shower is going to be.

352

But we're going for it.

353

I needed this!

354

Now or never baby!

355

Alright guys, we're headed towards the falls!

356

I guess car camping in the rainiest town really does have its perks.

357

And look at that.

358

Good sun's coming out.

359

I'm sorry.

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.
