Hello and welcome back to the channel.
2
Unless you're new, then welcome.
3
Today we are going to be doing something a little unconventional, and I'm not talking about deadlifts.
4
We are going to be hiking in the rain.
5
If you couldn't already tell by the sound of the rain.
6
I've got my heavy duty jacket and some other gear to keep my things as dry as possible because, as always, preparedness is very important.
7
In Hawaii, we are currently in the middle of a rainstorm, so the past several days have been extremely rainy.
8
I don't want to negate the severity of the situation by going out and frolicking in nature, because I know many people have been impacted by the weather,
9
but as far as I know, no one's been injured.
10
I have seen a few like tree uprootings, definitely some road closures because of the flooding, and a lot of power outages.
11
I even stopped by one of my favorite beaches and it was like unrecognizable.
12
I actually couldn't believe how different it looked.
13
And I have footage because it's like actually crazy.
14
Now you might be thinking, why the heck would you go outside right now?
15
And I have some reasons number one I like the rain number two the rain means less people
16
and number three I have a very specific motive there is
17
motive to the madness I have done this hike before
18
but there's a specific mountain range at a certain point of the trail
19
that when it's rainy enough all of the crevices of the mountain fill with waterfalls
20
so it's like a whole almost panoramic waterfall view
21
of the Kualau Mountains and I really just want to be there while it's full of waterfalls.
22
I think that would be so cool
23
and I don't really have much else to do
24
and the weather is kind of keeping everybody inside
25
so I don't know I'm just gonna defy the norms
26
and of course be safe but enjoy myself and I don't really mind getting wet.
27
I do have some gear to hopefully minimize that.
28
Yeah I I can't really think of a better way to spend the day, so that's what we're doing.
29
Also, I have some jumper cables just out in the backseat.
30
I need to put those away.
31
But my car wasn't starting yesterday, so don't worry.
32
We replaced the battery.
33
I won't be getting stuck anywhere.
34
But that was fun.
35
I learned how to jump a car.
36
Life skills.
37
Okay, I've got my protective cover on the camera, but as you can see,
38
the whole trail has become a massive stream.
39
We're going to see how this goes.
40
Actually it looks like...
41
Okay, change of plans.
42
We are switching to the waterproof camera and leaving the precious full frame in the car where it's safe.
43
But I'm not giving up.
44
We're making up for a little bit of lost time because there is a two hour parking limit, so we're going to be picking up the pace a little bit.
45
The rain slowed down a bit, but the water is still booming regardless.
46
It's all trailing down into the valley to Monowee Lake Falls.
47
I can only imagine what that looks like.
48
Oh!
49
I wore
50
my beater boots today.
51
They're actually my retired hiking boots, but I figured they'd probably get destroyed today.
52
So one last mission for these bad boys.
53
That's the clearest I've seen it.
54
Whoa.
55
Look at the color of the water.
56
The ocean water.
57
Oh, man.
58
Mount Olamana.
59
So my Hawaii people know, I'm sure, Maunawele Falls.
60
It's like the biggest waterfall we have.
61
And you can actually jump into the pool because it's deep enough.
62
But I'm here to say we are 100% not doing that today.
63
I'm not even going to go all the way into the valley because the lower you get,
64
the more strong the water is going to be as it all pools down into one area.
65
My only goal today is that I want to see the panoramic waterfalls.
66
And that's where I draw the line.
67
I think we're approaching the two mile mark, which means we're getting really close and I'm getting so excited.
68
Oh my gosh.
69
Oh my god. Can you see that? So many stream crossings.
70
My boots are full of water.
71
There's like a pool.
72
I got two personal foot pools.
73
There's another peak.
74
The waterfalls are looking so beautiful.
75
I am noticing, despite the stream crossings looking pretty thick and powerful,
76
there's almost always a safer way around that can still get you where you need to go.
77
Wow.
78
Oh my gosh.
79
I am having the time of my life.
80
What was I even saying?
81
Oh yeah, sometimes the best path is not the most obvious path.
82
And that applies to life.
83
Beyond the trail.
84
It's kind of like the perfect window right now.
85
Where I think it's clear enough to really get a good view of the waterfalls.
86
So I hope we're not too far.
87
I could cry.
88
Oh my God.
89
This is the best view I've gotten so far.
90
Wow.
91
Oh my gosh.
92
We weren't even seeing half of it.
93
Okay.
94
Wow.
95
This might be peak view.
96
Okay.
97
Time to say bye to the beautiful view.
98
I think that's the best we're going to get today.
99
That's a lot better than I was expecting, to be honest.
100
I think if I continue on into the descent, we'll probably get a better view,
101
at least of more waterfalls but I'm kind of already at risk for getting towed right now
102
and that would be really not fun if I get towed
103
so we're minimizing
104
that possibility by heading back now it has already been two
105
hours I didn't realize I would be hiking this far
106
but I am aware of the consequences and I couldn't not commit to seeing that.
107
No regrets.
108
I accept the consequences of my actions.
109
This is actually the trail right now.
110
Lots of fallen trees too.
111
Oh boy.
112
Okay.
113
As long as I don't rip my pants, no problem.
114
White Claw?
115
Really, bruvs?
116
If you're going to drink, at least take your trash out with you.
117
I don't drink White Claw, for the record.
118
I can hear the cars.
119
So we're reaching the end.
120
Moment of truth.
121
Do I still have a car?
122
My car!
123
Yay!
124
Now that I'm back and I know that I still have a car, I think it's safe to say that was a massive success.
125
I got the view I was looking for.
126
and it really is crazy to see the difference from when I got here.
127
Like when I first got here couldn't even see that mountain couldn't even see those trees right there.
128
So weather really cleared up for the better in my favor perfect timing but with enough rain to still get the waterfall.
129
So that is all for today's video.
130
Thank you for watching.
131
I hope you enjoyed.
132
Don't forget to lift, laugh, and love, and I'll see you in the next video.
133
Bye!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
