You're about to sleep in your tent and you start to hear thunder. What do?
>>
>>2830522
Take some rubber pills
>>
>>2830523
Does that really work?
>>
Throw the gas cannister and stove five yards and lay down, I wait.

Ideally I'd have seen the forecast and set my camp up in a safe spot
>>
Nature is scary.
>>
>>2830522
Open my lightning camera app and look up.
>>
>>2830522
Who cares? I've never been struck by lightning. People who have been struck are usually fine. People have lived in tents for millennia. Going inside meant going into the tent, not a structure that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
>>
>>2830522
Have a great night's rest thanks to the soothing sounds of rain and thunder
>>
Sky bear.

Is this actually something to be concerned about? the only thing I would do in a lighting storm is stay away from the limbs of a big fuck off tree. I doubt the tent poles are going to attract any lightning. What is the concern here?
>>
>>2830522
Hurry up and start sucking my tent-mate's dick, like my scout master taught me.
>>
Earbuds in, music on and forget about it.
>>

This. Rain sleep is best sleep.
>>
>>2830522
close my eyes and sleep since rain and thunder drown out the real fear of random snapping sounds that you have to wonder what caused it.
>>
>>2830522
Sleep. Sounds like it’s cozy time
>>
>>2830522
I take out my hiking poles and wave them in the air to make myself look bigger and scare the storm away.
>>
>>2830607
Lightning flashes are annoying
>>
>>2830522
Listen to the rain thrumming on my canvas bivvy cover, then roll to my side to watch the cool flashes out the side. Sleep.
>>

Sleep. Obviously I didn't set my tent up in an open field, near a lake or river, or on the edge of a cliff.

I had lightning strike a tree a few feet from my tent. The voltages were high enough to melt and vapourize parts of the tent. I was on a foam pad plus the rubber tent bottom (dog claw proof PU) and was fine.

If lightning flashes are waking you up then you've got sleeping issues.
>>
>>2830522
Sleep.
>>
>>2830522
Go to sleep. I love thunderstorms.
>>
>>2830657
>What is the concern here?
getting hit by a falling / exploding tree or shorting the voltage funnel
>>
>>2830603
>>2830607
These anons get it. If you're not a pussy or idiot you have nothing to fear from anything but the biggest storms
>>
>>2830522
I thunder back at it
>>
>>2832999
How can you sleep, rain makes me piss.
>>
Thunderstorms are undercommunicated, meteorologists never predict the frequency of lightning strikes and they never report of the frequency of lightning strikes afterwards, some storms can have 5 strikes per square mile and it will never be mentioned or deemed severe, often when storms are first brewing and bubbling up they have a great amount of lightning and little rain

I wouldn't worry about it.
