ʻO ka pilikia o nā kāmaʻa, ka mea e hoʻopiʻi ai i nā inoa, i mua o nā kānaka a pau. ʻO ka manawa pinepine, loaʻa iā mākou nā kāmaʻa maikaʻi a me nā kāmaʻa , a laila, hōʻeha nui loa i ka kūʻaiʻana: ua ikaika lākou a paʻi i ko lākou mau wāwae. No ke aha e hana ai i kou mau kāmaʻa a pehea e pale aku ai, e heluhelu ai.
He aha kaʻu e hana ai e pale aku i koʻu mau kāmaʻa mai ka'ōpala.
ʻO ka mea mua, e ho'āʻo kāua e noʻonoʻo i ke kumu o ka wāwahiʻana i kona kāmaʻa. Hiki paha kēia ma muli o ke kūʻaiʻana i nā kāmaʻa liʻiliʻi a liʻiliʻi paha i kūlikeʻole i nā palena o kou mau wāwae, aiʻoleʻole iʻoihana paʻakikī mai ia mea i hanaʻia.
No laila, no ka meaʻaʻole kapa kahi kāmaʻa hou, ponoʻoe e hana i kēia. ʻO ka mea mua, he mea naʻauao e koho a hōʻoia e ho'āʻo i kou mau kāmaʻa punahele, kāmaʻa aiʻole kāmaʻa. He mea pono ke kūʻai aku i ka hopena o ka lā, i ka wā e pehu mau ai nā wāwae o nā kānaka a pau - a lailaʻaʻole e kāʻiliʻia nā kāmaʻa i kūʻaiʻia i ke ahiahi,
ʻO ka lua, ma hope o ka kūʻaiʻana i nā kāmaʻa, e "lawe". Nui nāʻano no kēia. Hiki iāʻoe ke lubricate me ka waiʻona (e hoʻohana i nā lole pale) ma kahi kāmaʻa kahi e hiki ai ke paʻi - ma nā kuʻekuʻe wāwae, nā manamana lima, ka iwi maha, a pēlā aku. A inā heʻili keʻokeʻo kou mau kāmaʻa, hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe wale iā lākou mai loko mai me ka waiʻona, a laila e kau i nā kauku a hele a puni ka hale. ʻO nā kāmaʻa i hanaʻia e "noho i luna o ka wāwae" aʻaʻole ponoʻoe e mālama i nā mea kelepona ma hope o ka puka mua i nā kāmaʻa hou.
Aia kekahi mau mana kahiko o keʻano pehea e hoʻokuʻu ai i ka hopena o kaʻulupāʻana i nā kuʻekuʻe wāwae hou me nā kāmaʻa hou. Hiki iāʻoe ke laʻa ma ke kua o ka kāmaʻa me ka hāmare ma mua o ka waihoʻana me kahi lole maʻemaʻe. ʻO kēia ka hoʻonaneaʻana o kaʻili,ʻaʻole ia e kāpae i kou mau wāwae. Hiki iāʻoe ke lūlū i ka hope o nā kāmaʻa me ka paopao aiʻole ke kukui e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka paʻi.
Inā ma hope o ke kūʻai,ʻikeʻoe i nā kāmaʻa he meaʻuʻuku noʻoe, hiki iāʻoe ke hana i kēia. E hoʻoulu i kahi'āpana lole nui i ka wai e hoʻolapalapa, pākuʻi a hoʻokomo i loko o nā kāmaʻa hou. Ma hope o 15 mau minuke, e huki i kaʻili, e kau i nā kuʻumeka maʻamau a hele a puni ka hale no kekahi mau hola. ʻO kēia maʻalahi maʻalahi e hiki iāʻoe ke halihali i nā kāmaʻa i kahi liʻiliʻi, a ma kēia mua akuʻaʻole e hiki iāʻoe keʻohi iāʻoe.
