No Shelter Thunder Storm Stealth Camping

  • Things didn't quite go to plan on this trip, the weather forecast was severely off! I planned a nice relaxing simple stealth camping trip in the city. The forecast for my camping night called for just a few sprinkles and then a quiet but cold night. The skies opened up at about 10 and the hail and thunder began. The night was an adventure, I got soaked, but it was a blast.

    I was wondering where your ratty old sweater was. Glad to see you got a new one. Thanks to the folks who gifted it to you. Now, take the old one, fold it up carefully, and put it away because it has many memories attached to it. I've got an old sweatshirt that was given to me when I was 15 (am now 75). It was instrumental in many memories of my youth, and holding it occasionally, brings all those fond remembrances back freshly to my mind's eye.

    This reminds me of the time 4 of us were in the Adirondack mountains to cut our fire wood for hunting season and some trout fishing. We got the wood all done first day and went way back to our old camp site to get some bookies for supper . A real bad thunder and lightning storm blew in fast and hard, so hard that our 4 wheeler’s were soaked and wouldn’t start they were so wet . So we found some of our old poles that we had for hunting camp and made a lien to shelter. Well the storm went all night never letting up . We got some pine pitch and fat wood for fire ,we dug wood out of old wood pile . Built a cover to put fire under and kept it going all night. We all huddled up together with pine Bowles to keep warm and dry . Next morning it stopped and took us awhile to get wheelers going ,but we made it back to our wall tent in time to tear down and head home….

Steve's use of one as a makeshift poncho (1) kept his core dry (2) provided a wind barrier against convection and (3) may very well have prevented the life threatening risk of hypothermia.

    That “now your camping with Steve’’ in the middle of a hailstorm was the realization he was already in to deep and still needed a video

    I like camping videos when things go terrible. It's fantastic to watch someone have the worst time!

    This feels like it could be an epic episode. So many good quotes. Especially “NOW you are camping with Steve” backed up with tons of emotions. Great video, thanks for going through this for us and deeply hope the jealous Gods didn’t gave you a cold. Greetings from Sweden
