Hiking along a river right now, that's just about, sorry, an hour and a half north of Tokyo.

現在正沿著一條河徒步旅行，那大約是，對不起，東京以北一個半小時的路程。

You see this happen to stumble across this spot on google maps while working on a previous project about ending villages and kind of, I just wanted to come out here and do some hiking.

你看這是在以前做一個關於結束村莊的項目時，在谷歌地圖上偶然發現的這個地方，有點，我只是想來這裡做一些徒步旅行。

There's really, really big planes flying overhead.

有非常非常大的飛機在頭上飛過。

There's no way I'm gonna be able to do it like that is a huge plane.

我不可能做到像那樣是一架巨大的飛機。

Yeah, yeah.

是的，是的。

I've actually been hiking through this area for about the last 2 to 3 hours.

實際上，在過去的2到3個小時裡，我一直在徒步穿越這個區域。

I'm just trying so hard not to slip right now.

我現在只是非常努力地不讓自己滑倒。

This place is called Chichibu and it's just north of Tokyo in an area called saitama.

這個地方叫秩父，就在東京北部一個叫埼玉的地區。

And when most people think saitama, they think the bed town that people live in and commute into Tokyo for work.

而當大多數人想到埼玉時，他們想到的是人們居住在床上並通勤到東京工作的城鎮。

But Chichibu itself is an area full of mountains and rivers, hiking trails and everything in between.

但秩父本身就是一個充滿山川、河流、遠足小徑和一切的地區。

And it's close enough to Tokyo that you can get out here pretty easily.

而且它離東京很近，你可以很容易地離開這裡。

A couple years back.

幾年前。

I think I did an entire like ice waterfall out here in Chichibu that was just spectacular.

我想我在秩父這裡做了一整個像冰瀑布一樣的事情，實在是太壯觀了。

But I am going to be setting up camp here in this area for the night.

但我要在這個地區紮營過夜。

Green what in the Uh huh mhm.

綠色的是什麼，嗯嗯。

Have you ever seen Totoro?

你看過《龍貓》嗎？

There's this little acorns rolling down the hill, it's really cloudy day when I started today's hike.

有這樣的小橡子從山上滾下來，當我開始今天的徒步旅行時，這真是一個陰天。

But The sun came out about 2030 minutes ago and has really, really added to the temperature of things, which is my way of saying I'm incredibly hot.

但太陽大約在2030分鐘前出來了，真的，真的增加了事物的溫度，這是我說我非常熱的方式。

I've secured myself a bit of a space over here, it's already, I'll say a bit more crowded than I'm used to.

我在這裡為自己爭取到了一點空間，這裡已經，我得說比我習慣的地方更擁擠了。

Usually I go camping out in Nagano which has the highest density of campsites in all of Japan and so it's really easy to get an empty campsite on a weekday because there's just so many campsites probably going to use this area here and set myself up a little hammock in the trees and yes, I am aware that it's not the perfect set up for a hammock but you work with the space that you have.

通常我在長野露營，那裡是全日本露營地密度最高的地方，所以在工作日很容易找到一個空的露營地，因為那裡有這麼多的露營地，我可能會使用這裡的區域，在樹上搭一個小吊床，是的，我知道這不是一個完美的吊床設置，但你可以利用你的空間。

This is actually a really really big hammock by the way like you can feel like tour that you can't even, you can't see it can you?

這實際上是一個非常非常大的吊床，順便說一下，你可以感覺到像旅遊一樣，你甚至不能，你不能看到它，你能嗎？

You know what, there's no way to, it's a big hammock that's basically what I'm trying to get it.

你知道嗎，沒有辦法，這是一個大吊床，基本上就是我想得到的。

It's a big hand fire pit and attempt grab this tent last year online for like 50 bucks.

這是一個大的手火坑，去年試圖在網上搶到這個帳篷，大概50塊錢。

Not expecting a lot just like that.

不期望有很多就這樣。

It came in a small package he has served me well.

它是一個小包裝，他為我提供了良好的服務。

Tarp is great for holding space but it's really, really tough every time I've gone camping lately.

篷布在保持空間方面很好，但最近我每次去露營時，它都非常非常艱難。

I've had the camper van with me so it's kind of nice, it's nice just to have the tent this time and to be able to relax out here for a night but it's a lot less camping and a lot more a little bit of food early bed and then waking up to get out to the areas to do some hiking tomorrow.

我帶著露營車，所以這很好，這次有了帳篷，能夠在這裡放鬆一晚，這很好，但這不是露營，更多的是吃點東西早點睡覺，然後醒來，明天去各個地區做一些徒步旅行。

I gotta, I gotta build up the coals here.

我必須，我必須在這裡建立起煤層。

Okay, mm uh huh, supermarket have this little single serving sauce for ya.

好的，嗯哼，超市為你準備了這個小的單份醬。

Que Nicu or I guess grilled meat.

Que Nicu或我猜測的烤肉。

Listen to the hiss from that grill.

聽聽那個烤爐發出的嘶嘶聲。

Okay, mm my food is done tent is all set up and I thought this was totoro at first.

好吧，我的食物已經做好了，帳篷都搭好了，我一開始以為這是圖騰。

Got a little cat buddy, Good night, kitty cat!

有一個小貓咪夥伴，晚安，小貓咪!

All right, what's this?

好吧，這是什麼？

Fire dies down.

火勢平息。

Call it a night, get a, get a reasonable start tomorrow.

今晚收工吧，明天有一個合理的開始。

I was gonna make some coffee here, but here you got real crowded real fast, leaned up, feeling fresh.

我本來想在這裡煮點咖啡，但你在這裡很快就變得非常擁擠，靠在一起，感覺很新鮮。

The drive out here, blue skies the entire time.

開車到這裡，全程藍天白雲。

The second I arrived in the mountains, nothing but great.

我一到山裡，什麼都沒有，只是很好。

But I left off at this very spot a few months back and I'm forever going to be curious about this pathway here.

但我幾個月前就在這個地方離開了，我永遠都會對這裡的這條道路感到好奇。

Maybe someday I'll come back and I have no idea what is down this path.

也許有一天我會回來，我不知道這條路是什麼。

I don't know if it goes on for two minutes, if it goes on for two hours.

我不知道它是否持續了兩分鐘，是否持續了兩小時。

But I always told myself that I would come back and check out this spot right here.

但我總是告訴自己，我會回來看看這個地方，就在這裡。

Starting with this incredibly sketchy broken Britain.

從這個令人難以置信的簡陋的破英國開始。

That's that's the first challenge.

這就是第一個挑戰。

Are we gonna are we gonna die going across the bridge.

我們會不會......我們會不會在過橋時死去。

All right and this right here, this is the pathway.

好了，這裡的這個，就是通道。

I got to make sure I don't fall off the side over here.

我得確保我不會從這邊掉下去。

Oh wow.

哦，哇。

I don't even know how far I'm going to be able to go on this to be honest, look at this right up here at some point, there's clearly been a bit of a lance.

說實話，我甚至不知道我在這上面能走多遠，看看這上面的某個地方，顯然已經有點長槍短炮了。

Whoa!

哇!

This, this is gonna be a fun little trick and trying so hard not to slip here and I don't know how well it's going to show up on the camera, but there are segments, some of the abandoned villages out here, but let's go this way and try not to die.

這，這將是一個有趣的小把戲，並且非常努力地不在這裡滑倒，我不知道它在相機上顯示的效果如何，但有一些片段，一些被遺棄的村莊在這裡，但讓我們走這條路，儘量不要死。

Mhm This area has actually grown over quite a bit.

這個地區實際上已經發展得相當好了。

I don't know how far I'm going to be able to make it on this trail.

我不知道我在這條小路上能走多遠。

You know what, I might just go up there.

你知道嗎，我可能就去那裡。

It looks difficult, but you know what?

它看起來很難，但你知道嗎？

Let's do it.

讓我們行動起來吧。

Yeah, yeah.

是的，是的。

That, yeah, it was not the right direction.

那，是的，這不是正確的方向。

I'm gonna go this way.

我打算走這條路。

The difficulty hearing is that my slip, there's a bit of a fall.

聽到的困難是，我的滑倒，有一點跌倒。

You really can't see how steve things are on video that brings us up to here.

你真的看不到視頻中的事情有多大的難度，把我們帶到了這裡。

And finally the sun is coming out a little so much nicer with the sun whenever I do these hiking adventures, aside from the bear spray and the, that satellite tracker and all the other precautions, not productions precautions that I take is you'll notice I often wear some form of clothing that contrasts with the environment and the nature that I'm in solely in the hopes that if something does go terribly wrong.

最後，太陽出來了，陽光好了很多，每當我做這些遠足冒險時，除了防熊噴霧和衛星追蹤器以及所有其他預防措施外，我採取的不是產品預防措施，你會注意到我經常穿一些與環境和我所處的大自然形成對比的衣服，只是希望如果真的發生了可怕的錯誤。

Like like me down into this precipice that hopefully, hopefully people will be able to find me a little bit easier, simply based off of the, the color of the clothing that I'm wearing.

就像我落入這個懸崖，希望，希望人們能夠更容易地找到我，僅僅根據我所穿的衣服的顏色。

So okay, this, I'm loving this path by the way, like every little bit of this, oh little river down there too.

所以好吧，這個，我很喜歡這條路，順便說一下，喜歡這裡的每一點，哦，下面的小河也是。

Yeah, so while on the surface this may just look like mountains.

是的，所以雖然在表面上這可能只是看起來像山。

You'll notice that there's actually kind of a pathway built along here in some sections and that's because originally these pathways were used to connect different mountain villages, like you can actually see remnants of a village down there and the merchants and traders would go from village to village to share their products or sell their products or sell charcoal and stuff like that and that's how they conducted business and kept area alive.

你會注意到，在這裡的某些部分實際上有一種小路，那是因為最初這些小路是用來連接不同的山村的，比如你實際上可以看到下面有一個村莊的遺蹟，商人和貿易商會從一個村莊到另一個村莊，分享他們的產品或出售他們的產品或出售木炭和類似的東西，這就是他們開展業務和保持地區活力的方式。

So I'm just trying to find the path that connects down to the next village with without falling down the mountain and die despite being out here in the middle of forests.

所以我只是想找到一條連接到下一個村莊的路，儘管身處森林之中，也不會掉下山去而死亡。

That poll is for the electrical wires that run down to the next village.

那個投票是為了通往下一個村莊的電線。

Okay.

好的。

I think, I think we can get down this way.

我想，我想我們可以從這個方向下來。

I rolled my ankle hall and this is why you want to come out to places like this in hiking boots.

我捲起了我的腳踝大廳，這就是為什麼你想穿著登山鞋出來到這樣的地方。

Oh wow, okay.

哦，哇，好吧。

I'm hoping hoping so much that this path actually goes down into this area and doesn't just, I'm, what's he gonna do, dump me out under the roof of this house.

我非常希望這條道路能真正走到這個區域，而不是，我，他要做什麼，把我扔在這個房子的屋頂下。

It is, isn't it?

是的，不是嗎？

It's gonna dump me out right into the oh boy, all right, uh huh.

它要把我甩出去，直接甩到哦，孩子，好吧，嗯哼。

Just feels, it just feels so ridiculous to be just pushing through all of this.

只是感覺，只是感覺如此荒唐，只是想通過這一切來推動。

Oh, you know what?

哦，你知道嗎？

I think this is exactly where I wanted to be.

我想這正是我想去的地方。

Honestly, it feels ever so slightly anticlimactic for that path just to lead back to a village that I've I've wanted to walk that path for months now and just lead back here, back to a village I've already been to.

說實話，那條路只是通往一個我已經想走了幾個月的村莊，卻又回到這裡，回到一個我已經去過的村莊，感覺有點反常。

Like if you're a fairly regular viewer, you may recognize some of these items.

像如果你是一個相當經常的觀眾，你可能會認出其中的一些項目。

I stayed out in this area for two days to hunt down locals who once lived in these abandoned villages and tell their stories, made an entire documentary about it and behind the scenes.

我在這個地區呆了兩天，追尋曾經住在這些廢棄村莊的當地人，講述他們的故事，製作了一整部關於它的紀錄片和幕後花絮。

But that behind the scenes ended at that pathway where I just was And I've been wondering ever since, where it leads to while I absolutely love doing these videos out in forests and in nature, there's just something that is really, really missed on camera.

但幕後工作在那條路上結束了，我只是......從那時起，我一直在想，這將導致我在森林和大自然中做這些視頻，只是有些東西真的，真的在相機上錯過。

You can't really capture the beauty of the area.

你無法真正捕捉到該地區的美麗。

Everything kind of blends together.

一切都融合在一起。

You don't have that depth perception that you have in real life, like this space here.

你沒有現實生活中的那種深度感知，比如這裡的空間。

This in real life has so much depth and contrast and sharp angles and the camera, it doesn't pick it up in the least.

這在現實生活中，有這麼多的深度和對比度，以及尖銳的角度，而相機，絲毫沒有挑起它。

It's just hard to really, truly capture and show what it looks like through a camera, which is one of the reasons why I really hope that people will come out here and explore these areas because these mountains for the most part around the world, I am a damn area have just gone pretty much completely abandoned.

只是很難真正地、真正地通過相機來捕捉和展示它的樣子，這也是我真的希望人們能到這裡來探索這些地區的原因之一，因為這些山在世界的大部分地區，我是一個該死的地區，只是幾乎完全被拋棄了。

Even hikers don't come up here, it's not just like the buildings and structures and whatnot that have been abandoned.

即使是徒步旅行者也不會到這裡來，這不只是像建築和結構什麼的已經被遺棄了。

I met a hiker here last time who said that she'd been hiking for Ever and didn't see anybody, but 10 years ago she used to see people hiking around here and it's become a much more rare sight.

我上次在這裡遇到一個徒步旅行者，她說她已經徒步旅行了Ever，沒有看到任何人，但是10年前她經常看到有人在這裡徒步旅行，現在已經變得更加罕見。

This is becoming like a forgotten area and it's so close again to Tokyo, it's just north and to the west of it.

這裡正變得像一個被遺忘的地區，它又離東京如此之近，就在它的北部和西部。

It's, it's chicky boo.

它是，它是chicky boo。

It's, it blows my mind that a place like this can slowly become lost and forgotten when there's just so much beauty to be seen.

它，它讓我感到震驚，像這樣一個地方可以慢慢變得迷失和被遺忘，而這裡有如此多的美景可供觀賞。

You know, I'm gonna get set up, I think I'm gonna walk up this way, get set up and finally have some coffee, a previous trip.

你知道，我要去佈置一下，我想我要走到這邊來，佈置一下，最後喝些咖啡，這是以前的旅行。

I didn't bring a proper cup with me so I'm sure was kind enough to send me actual titanium mug and I love that, Thank you, thank you for that.

我沒有帶一個合適的杯子，所以我相信他很好心地給我送來了真正的鈦杯，我很喜歡，謝謝，謝謝你的幫助。

That should be good and not my favorite little drip coffee bags.

這應該是不錯的，而不是我最喜歡的小滴漏咖啡袋。

Yeah, and this particular one is actually from the abandoned school out in the mountains of shikoku where my body, Yeochan lives.

是的，這個特別的人實際上是來自四國山區的廢棄學校，我的身體，Yeochan住在那裡。

He invited me out recently and he gave me a bunch of coffee are you know?

他最近邀請我出去，他給了我一堆的咖啡，你知道嗎？

Mhm I um I have what Japanese people call it Nichols dot, which is they call it cat tongue and basically a cat tongue is when you can't handle really hot foods and drinks and that, that 100% that, that just describes my life right there actually one of the nearby villages, there's a super, super sad story that I never got the chance to tell last time About a gentleman who lived in the area and had something like 10 dogs, but a few months ago he passed away all of his dogs, his property, all of it's still there.

我有日本人所說的Nichols dot，也就是他們所說的貓舌，基本上貓舌是指你不能處理非常熱的食物和飲料，那，那100%，那只是描述我的生活，實際上附近的一個村莊，有一個超級，超級悲傷的故事，我上次沒有機會講，關於一位住在該地區的先生，他有大約10條狗，但幾個月前他去世了，他所有的狗，他的財產，所有的東西仍然在那裡。

So people from the local community center and around the area have been going every few times a week to take care of the dogs.

是以，來自當地社區中心和周圍地區的人們每週都會去照顧這些狗，每隔幾次。

I think a lot of them are old and they don't want to take them from the place that they know as home and they're getting fed in everything anyway, but they're still locked up.

我想他們中的很多人都老了，他們不想把他們從他們熟悉的地方帶回家，反正他們什麼都能吃到，但他們還是被關起來。

But it was this whole sad side story that didn't make the final cut of the documentary, but this area is just filled, filled with stories.

但這是整個悲傷的側面故事，沒有進入紀錄片的最後剪輯，但這個地區只是充滿了，充滿了故事。

Yeah.

是的。

All right.

好的。

So, I was driving along and there's just like this big old family of monkeys just hanging out on the road.

所以，我在開車的時候，就有這麼一大群猴子在路邊閒逛。

Hi.

你好。

Uh huh.

嗯哼。

The very first time that I ever actually found the abandoned village end up leaving because there was a very curious monkey that just kept getting closer and closer and I was like, no, we're not.

我第一次真正發現被遺棄的村莊最終離開了，因為有一隻非常好奇的猴子一直在靠近，我當時想，不，我們不在。

I'm not, I'm in an abandoned village all alone.

我沒有，我在一個廢棄的村子裡，獨自一人。

I am not having my camera stolen by a monkey.

我不會讓我的相機被猴子偷走。

I wrap up for the day and now now we have beautiful blue skies and the sun is fully out and shining this place to me, the fact that I had to come back here and do this.

我總結了一天的工作，現在現在我們有美麗的藍天，太陽完全出來了，把這個地方照亮了，我不得不回到這裡，做這個事實。

This was the equivalent, this was like the location equivalent to an earworm for me.

這就相當於，這就相當於我的耳邊風的位置。

I could not get this out of my head, slightly anticlimactic, but honestly very, very worth coming out here and doing so.

我無法忘記這一點，略微有點反常，但說實話，非常非常值得出來這麼做。

I hope that you enjoyed this little outdoor excursion adventure experience which serves zero purpose outside of just just getting that out of my head.

我希望你喜歡這段小小的戶外探險經歷，它的作用不大，只是把這句話從我腦海中抹去。

You'd be surprised, genuinely surprised at how often I was thinking about where does that?

你會感到驚訝，真正驚訝的是，我經常在想，那是什麼地方？

I also found this spot that I quite love.

我還發現了這個我相當喜歡的地方。

It's not even really part of the trail.

這甚至不是小路的真正組成部分。

It's just a log beside a wall.

這只是牆邊的一根木頭而已。
