If you are in the backcountry and get caught in a severe storm with lightning (lots of lightning), what do most of you do?
Do you head for clearings away from trees?
If there are no clearings and only trees, what do you do?
Do you go to the extent of separating yourself from all metals and electronics that you have on you?, watch, gps, rifle, knife, binos, ect.
If you are in a tent with aluminum poles or rods. What do you do?
If you are on horses. What do you do?
Do you just continue on with what you were doing and hope for the best, with lots of praying, of course.
Several years ago we were on horses and got hammered by a severe storm. So severe the other riders said they could feel the static electricity. We all survived but I still think about the incident and what I could have done differently.
Just looking for tips, thoughts, personel experience that might help myself or others.
Grizzly used to be my main fear. After that deal a few years ago, I think the fear of lightning is running close to that of the Griz.
