Experience: Thunderstorm in a Tent

Thunderstorms in the Badlands equal a lot of mud and complications. Experience one heck of a storm from my point of view....in a tent.

Yikes! Goodtimes. Thanks for the video brother

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It was quite the storm!

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

Whoah that was insane rain! 😮 ⛈️. Not a trip you will forget in a hurry though!
Thanks for taking us along 😊👌

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

You said it....we won't forget! 😀

[@rodoutdoors]

That looked like fun. Messy but fun.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I'm still cleaning mud off my gear!

[@TressaZimmerman]

Great video. Thanks for taking us along.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks Tressa!

That sunset was beautiful.
I always feel so small in a really bad thunderstorm. Just waiting for daylight.
Mike didn’t care it was 420 😂😂😂

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I felt VERY small, bud. I get that! Mike did not care at ALL. He got the brunt of the water.

[@RhodySeth]

Not much sleep on a night like that! Some good ol' Type Two Fun right there.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Type II is absolutely what that was!

[@Ontrail82]

A trip I’ll never forget that’s for sure! …and did we hear a Skinwalker out there or what?? lol

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I'm pretty sure it was either a spirit or a skin walker, yes.

[@boopernator]

uff-dah that looked like a wicked trip. glad you all survived.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It was a wild ride!

[@OutdoorExistential]

Bro that was intense! Glad you made it through. If you stayed at home for every bad forecast, you might miss great times like these. :)

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

You said it best man! We won't soon forget that night!

[@mysterious.hiker.x]

A thunderstorm in a place called the Badlands? Surely it can't be THAT bad...

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It was just a little sprinkle. Haha

[@lancesmith1970]

I’ve only had to ride out one smaller squall while out there. We were set up on some grass so it went well. It passed quickly. I have the same Durston Tent and it seems to hold up well to wind/rain so far.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

The tent is a beast! It can't repel Badlands mud though! Lol

[@TheMccluref]

I had a spooky experience with an 8x8 tarp and bivybag in a nasty thunderstorm. Not sure I want to go though it again

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It can be a lasting trauma sometimes!

[@hikewithmike4673]

I guess in that area you have to worry about flash floods and lightning since you are so exposed to the elements!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It's not a good place to be in storms for sure. It does flood out in certain areas.

[@SouthernHike]

Fun stuff dude!! haha

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Sort of fun when you're not alone!

[@SeniorHiker77]

Don't you just love a little rain. 😢

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

We won't forget that night anytime soon!

[@DC-xt1ry]

Durston holding strong! What model is that?

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It's the non dyneema Xmid One. Love it!

[@MinuteontheMountain]

That didn't look fun. I've only had to pack up in the night in the rain once, and it was miserable.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I've had better nights sleep for sure!
