Camping gone horribly wrong, surviving extreme weather conditions. The thunderstorm surprised me!

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your support! ❤️🤘

Love your forest there, full of moss and ferns, beautiful. So much more hospitable there our walls of briars and brambles and muck and mire, or maybe that’s just me and my being raised in a swamp.

[@ournordicventures]

Thank you

10/10 except for flooding, would love to stay in that shelter during that weather!

[@ournordicventures]

Much better to go under a big rock than to be under a tarp in such weather

[@peacebrain4471]

Awesome video! Thanks for the description as i was wondering if the was any dry place in the cave or not. Thanks for sharing!

[@ournordicventures]

Thank you

[@grasshopper5765]

Don't forget, rocks have cracks and crevices that you might not be aware of until the last minute😐

[@buzz5969]

@06:34 your filming from outside the cave looking in, the rain had stopped, I would have set up my tent tarp at that point, it would have had to have been more comfortable sleeping. If my plan was just too hunkerdown in the cave I wouldnt have taken half the gear.😊

Nice video

Thank you ❤

Sometimes the best videos are the ones where a single word isn't said. Let actions speak for itself.

[@SusanLocklear-ds2od]

I don't know but you need to give me some of that

[@SusanLocklear-ds2od]

If you eat all of that you got a good appetite

[@Survival-Garden]

The pine trees are so pretty and very tall

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!

[@DarKnight0064]

Really like the area and all that forest ! Love the Weather conditions though not too good if your not prepared 😅 Reminds me of the movie The Ritual... Very cool once it got Dark too ! Out of interest, what Camera do you use 🤔 Footage is nice an clear. Thanks great Vid 👍

[@ournordicventures]

Thanks for the comment! I film my videos with Gopro Hero 10

[@dennisoakes8678]

Why wouldnt you put up a tarp, thatd keep you dry and out of the rain.

[@ournordicventures]

I would have had time to get wet while setting the tarp, I felt it was safer to take shelter under a rock

[@joeyjennings9548]

i often wonder why in videos people just dont talk? 15:37 makes it lile half a video?

[@ournordicventures]

I like making "silent" videos like this. With my English skills and pronunciation, the end result could be something absolutely horrible. That's why I prefer not to talk in videos, at least for now.😄

[@marksherman9578]

Why did you put out the fire 🔥

[@ournordicventures]

I had to cool down the stick burner so that I can pack it without burning my fingers

Are there snakes in you area?.

Yes

Thunderstorms here in Kentucky are really crazy..Lighting bolts hitting the ground or trees nearby with violent winds and heavy downpours..I had tarps ripped to shreds by the wind seen tree's getting blown over or hit by lighting. Once lighting hit a rocky outcrop about 30 feet away from our camp and we could feel our bodies tingling from the electrical field generated by the strike! You have to respect lighting around here because it is killer and take safety precaution..move away from tall trees, tall hills, stay off rocky areas, avoid standing in creeks or water and any fences or metal poles. I even seen cars get hit by lighting. When it hits close by you you'll see a brilliant flash of light and a loud HISSING ZAP then in a few milliseconds the loudest KA_BOOM ever! Be safe and enjoy the outdoors!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2WQmpilqrZlrqcsi=e0GX1Y4C2QD8_A9i

[@ournordicventures]

Thats exactly how it should be done!

[@aussieguy3689]

If it hit only 30ft away ( 9 metres ) you would have been electrocuted at the very least

[@recondrone1776]

@@aussieguy3689 would tingling all over and getting knocked down be considered electrocuted...it hit a rock outcropping we were standing on dirt..moist dirt!

[@aussieguy3689]

@recondrone6826 If you were standing on moist dirt then you would most likely be dead . Do some research on lightning and electrical energy and how it works in wet conditions before you tell bs and make yourself look silly again .

[@recondrone1776]

@@aussieguy3689 environmental conditions' can be different in every lighting strike. Fact is we were frog gigging a creek that varied in depth from ankle deep to chest deep. We had two frog gigs with bamboo shafts about 10 foot long. A thunderstorm came though about 10 pm with heavy lighting and heavy rain while we're in deep hollow in the creek so we decided to seek a safer area out of the water and up the hillside about 50 yards from the creek in a stand of small sapling in a forest full of huge trees in this hollow! The top of the ridgeline was about 500 feet higher than the creek. We hunkered down in those smaller trees because there was no other place that would have been safer. Mind you we are two miles from our truck! After about 20 mins of this intense storm and lighting striking all around 3 or 4 times a minute one bolt hit behind us on a rocky outcrop/small clift. We were squatting down on the balls of our feet to lessen a potential lighting hit and chucked our gigs flat on the ground. When that bolt hit I was knocked forward and my brother was knocked backward to the ground. We felt the the electrical shock and also felt the lingering electrical field after the strike which meant another strike could happen! Now whether the main charge went through the length of outcrop of rock that was basically a short clift 60 yard long or the ground we were standing I couldn't tell you. Both of us were dazed for a few seconds and had the tingling feeling on our person "skin" and felt like our hair was standing up. Fearing another close strike we vacated the area pronto and hit the bottom of the hollow and blazed a new trail to our truck like two sprinters crashing through the dense growth and trees to get out of that storm and lightning. This storm lasted well over a hour. Once lighting hit my neighbors 100 foot tall oak tree in his backyard about 20 feet from his house and only about 25 feet from our shop/garage that had 4 people inside and no one was hurt. The Oak tree was split from the very top to the bottom and was debarked about a foot wide from the split at the same time our chain-link fence around our yard had leaders of electrical discharge coming off the top rail of the fence in several places. These leaders were about 10 feet long. They look like small lighting bolts but reach up into the sky. I really don't think you understand how unpredictable a lighting strike can be or never experienced some of the weird phenomena that intense electrical storm brings to the table. My father's car was hit by lighting striking the rear antenna then came out of the rear tire and rim then hitting a flower bed made of cemented creek rock about 3 feet away and blowing out a 2 foot section of the wall. This same strike also blew the security keypad off the outside wall of the shop in front of the car! The strike took out the ECM, radio and LED instrument cluster. The inside of the car smelt like burnt wiring. Like I said you have no clue about lighting and how unpredictable it can be or the infinite variables of actual strikes or some of the phenomena associated with lighting! Just because a bolt hits 30 feet away doesn't mean you will be killed. I suggest doing some real research on lighting instead of looking like a fool that thinks he a expert that's probably never been in harm's way when a storm is popping out 30,000 lighting strikes in a few hours! Trust me we take lighting and tornados very seriously in Kentucky!

I bet thats cosy in nicer weather

[@ournordicventures]

Probably 😁

[@SusanLocklear-ds2od]

I don't know why you don't put that on the fire I guess he's eating it
