1
I'm alive.
2
Put a helmet on you.
3
I've been in so many miraculous situations where I should have died in Nam and car accidents, motorcycle.
4
And because of my wife and my wonderful family,
5
I just didn't feel that it was my time.
6
You know, my time's not up.
7
And so I just said, keep going.
8
76-year-old Vietnam vet Mark Eric Young shares how he survived five days lost in the Arizona wilderness.
9
He was in town for a wedding and decided to go hiking.
10
I made several mistakes.
11
The first one was I have a GPS.
12
And because I've been in this area,
13
I never turned it on until I really needed it.
14
And when I turned it on, it wasn't functional.
15
Coming back, I decided to come back on a different cow trail to make a shortcut.
16
That was the second long decision.
17
He camped out since he didn't need to meet with a friend until the next night.
18
I've spent many nights out.
19
Vietnam, wilderness, hikes, whatever, campouts.
20
So that wasn't a big thing.
21
And I had enough survival gear for certainly two days, right?
22
Plenty of water, plenty of food.
23
So I wasn't overly concerned until the next day,
24
I figured that I would just go over one mountain
25
and then I would hit that riverbed and then make my way back to the vehicle.
26
Well, again, a wrong decision.
27
When I hiked over one mountain,
28
there was another, one after the other.
29
On day three, he ran out of water.
30
I'd say Saturday was my roughest day,
31
and I was dehydrated, and my brain went right.
32
Just overly fatigued.
33
And so I drank my own urine and that helped.
34
He eventually found water but had a run-in with wildlife.
35
I came around a tree and this rattlesnake, it's a blacktail.
36
I heard the rattle, but I was looking at the ground.
37
And then when I heard him, I looked at him.
38
He opened his mouth and he struck at me.
39
I took a step back,
40
picked up a rock and killed it. in anger.
41
Even with everything he was dealing with,
42
he kept his family on his mind and tried to stay calm.
43
You have to not panic.
44
Even in Nam, you can get scared and you can get nervous,
45
but you've got to keep your self-control.
46
You've got to be able to think straight.
47
It's important when you're in very stressful situations to try and,
48
you know, keep your head, You know, keep calm.
49
There were times when he was uncertain if he'd be found.
50
Yeah, of course I prayed.
51
I never felt that I was going to die.
52
You know, you're sweating during the day and shivering at night.
53
But I definitely got discouraged because of the dehydration on Saturday.
54
I mean, I'm totally exhausted.
55
That was when I just thought,
56
because I was so tired and not motivated,
57
I thought, you know, dying ain't so bad.
58
With a little bit of a dash of humor in it.
59
On day five, he found more water and was on the move again.
60
Then he heard familiar voices.
61
I heard hikers for the first time there on Monday,
62
and I hollered down.
63
And then I heard Dad,
64
and then I saw him.
65
And because it was the fifth day and I was exhausted,
66
I just, man, I cried like a baby.
67
They came up and we huddled.
68
And to have your two sons find you was nothing short of a miracle.
69
Mark is grateful for all the people he knew and didn't know that came together to find him.
70
The rescue people, the helicopters,
71
the drones, the volunteers, local cowboys with horses,
72
old friends, my family, my brothers.
73
Unbelievable.
74
I had no idea how loved and how wonderful these people are themselves.
75
Again, it just wasn't about me.
76
It's their character, their toughness, their selflessness.
77
The people that showed up to me represents America and Americans.
78
They don't know me from Adam.
79
They've never even laid eyes on me, right?
80
And yet they're willing to lay their lives down to help another person.
81
It blows me away.
82
Mark was taken to the hospital and didn't have any serious injuries.
83
He says he returned home to 413 text messages and had family,
84
friends, and people from all chapters of his life reach out to him.
85
It's hard for me not to even leak a little bit right now.
86
It's overwhelming, and I'm so encouraged and so thankful.
87
I'm renewed as a result of it.
88
And again, I'm trying not to cry,
89
Dr. I try not to get emotional.
90
But I'm 76 six.
91
And, you know, the reality is,
92
is I'm in the last quarter of my life,
93
but I'm blessed with good health.
94
Although this incident scared Mark,
95
he still plans on reuniting with nature soon.
96
Are your hiking days over or are you going to get out there again?
97
You can take the boy from the mountains,
98
but you can't take the mountains from the boy.
99
Yeah, I'll be out, but I will never,
100
at my age I will never do that again.
101
I'll be back in Arizona this fall for sure.
102
But I won't be alone.
103
If I would have got hurt I'm not sure I would have made it out.
104
I don't know.
105
You just never know.

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.
