I was thrown by the changing perspective for a moment, then realized
that you were recording on the move.

They weren't, I did two things to the sample in post. First I tried
Waves X-Click, set to catch only the louder bangs so that I would
preserve the rain sounds in the environment. This was only partially
satisfactory; the "shape" setting, that determines the length of the
"fix" the plug-in does, wasn't long enough at maximum setting. It
took the sharp edge off, but left thumps.
I also (all in one pass) pushed up the clip's level with Waves L1, so
the thumps that would have clipped got squashed.
Three plugs in sequence: Q4 to correct the EM-23 response and balance
my 2 mics (known diff. in sensitivity), X-Click, and L1.
