Camping in Heavy Rain Forced to Take Shelter from Dangerous Storm in Utah

We go camping and fishing high up in the mountains of Utah. Unfortunately, the top of a mountain isn't a great place to be when there's lightning all around you.

[@BeautifulComfortingRiany]

Watching this makes me feel mentally relaxed. It's truly fascinating.😀👍

[@HikingWithShawn]

Great video! You know there is something really special about camping in heavy rain. I pretty much get rained on every time I go camping or backpacking. I've learned to enjoy it, LOL.

[@2withnature]

Thanks! We're to the point of just not minding it but that's when it's only rain. I am NOT a fan of lightning. Glad to hear you enjoy it though, gives me hope I may too!

Very Awesome video, very relaxing. Looks very these kinda videos. Great scenery and love the mountains. Reminds me of home. Looks like Northern Utah but could be wrong. You guys are a fun couple to watch…….👍🏻. Glad to see another video finally and hope more is on the way. Stay Blessed guys ………✌️✌️

[@2withnature]

Thank you very much 🙏 This was around central Utah. More is on the way and my goal is to have a new one every week but it might not be yet. We're ramping up though until we get there, hopefully in a month or two.

[@captseamus]

When in my RV trailer I now carry a 4ft copper 5/8" rod and a pair of jumper cables..pound the copper rod into the ground and clamp the battery jumper to the rod and the other cable end to a bolt on the trailer. My trailer gets hit by lightning it will be grounded just like my house. I learn the hard way. Lightning stuck our electric transformer and the electricity travel to my rv, no ground rod...$7800 electrical damage.

[@2withnature]

Geez that's some bad luck. Lightning sure can ruin your day.

[@mannyencinas187]

Great idea

[@roseannarabia6461]

Can you explain the jumper cable set up a little better? Do you clamp the positive and negative to The copper rod, and positive and negative to the trailer? Sorry if I sound a little ignorant.

[@robertwood9628]

@@roseannarabia6461 He hasn't answered so I will. You just need one cable attached to the rod and the other end to your trailer.Don't need both positive and negative, just one cable. Hope this helps.

They were driving me crazy until I built that little cabin. Now any tent is easy lol

[@garyanderson9467]

Impressive tent!

[@2withnature]

Thank you! It's a big beast of a tent

[@DieyoungDiefast]

Safer in the car, not because it's higher, but because the car is a Faraday Cage. "Faraday cages are also used to protect people and equipment against electric currents such as lightning strikes and electrostatic discharges, because the cage conducts electrical current around the outside of the enclosed space and none passes through the interior."

[@2withnature]

Yup did some reading up on it while hiding in the truck. That gave us peace of mind when we were there.

[@EVANDERMAN1]

You two are a cool looking couple. Nice fast woodworking with previous videos. I started watching and got hooked a little, like watching SB Mowing. Lol. You two do well with your recordings. Nature is relaxing and comfortable for the mind. One show I’m hooked on is called Male cooking. Ukrainian country life. Huge family they have, and all their stoves are pretty cool. All outdoors. Glad you two were safe from the storm. Greetings from Northern Arlington Riverside California 🙂

[@TheCornbread31]

Great video! Is there something you can add to your tent to avoid the bottom section getting wet from rain water trickling in especially if you’re on a slanted surface? I love all the space you have though and the bedding looks comfortable. You’re a great cook too! Those sandwiches looked amazing!!

[@2withnature]

Thanks! They don't make something like that specifically for this tent, but you could always put a tarp down for that. It is super comfortable camping with this setup though. And they were delicious, thinking about it now is making me crave them again!

[@Ninety9924]

@@2withnature A good tent should be water-proofed in all the seams. A tarp or a ground cover/foot print is mainly to protect the bottom from being scratched and/or punctured by the ground. The foot print made specifically for the tent is usually the same size, if not slightly smaller than the bottom of the tent to prevent water from accumulating there. Sitting in a puddle of water will eventually causes the water to get in no matter how good the initial water-proofing is.

[@2withnature]

Yeah when we were sitting in the tent during the storm we felt like we had a giant rock hanging over our heads. Hiding in the truck wasn't part of our plans but in that situation it was necessary. It was too close for comfort.

“The tires will ground us” - we need to put more money into science education!

[@2withnature]

Too late I finished school a long time ago!

[@christinabronnestam8274]

The car protects you because it is made of metal, and if hit by lightning, it works like a "Faraday cage", meaning that the electric charge will be on the OUTSIDE of the shell. So it was a good decision to hide in the car, but the tires had absolutely nothing to do with it ...

[@curtrobinson6883]

Very nice video. Is the RTT an Ikamper? What part of Utah is this area?

[@2withnature]

Yes it is. It's central UT

[@gonagain]

You might like to switch to 12 inch long, ½ inch diameter lag bolts and a hammer drill to use for tent stakes. It's way easier in rocky ground.

[@2withnature]

I've seen some people doing that trick but never tried it myself. I probably will the next time we set up this behemoth of a tent

Great video. Not only do you know how to build a great cabin, but you know how to shoot an edit a great video. Just need to add a "Wild Homestead" or "Cabin River Outdoors" intro, and you'll have the perfect channel imo. Thanks.

[@2withnature]

Thank you sir! Are those names of other channels or just the style? I was thinking I should create an intro roll but just haven't had the time yet.

[@Jeremy_936]

Yes indeed, two of the best cabin build channels on KZbin imo. "Cabin River Outdoors" starts his intro about 30 seconds in. "Wild Homestead" usually starts his intro about 2 or 3 minutes in. Either one works great. Gives some backstory to new viewers. I hope you try it when you have time. I watch all of your videos. They're very well made and I think viewers appreciate that. I certainly do. Thanks.

[@2withnature]

Yeah we had considered retreating down the hill a bit but when lightning struck really close by it was in the area we were considering going to. Ultimately you need some type of lightning rod or cage or just keep your fingers crossed

It seems very dangerous to tent at the edge of the ridge, fully exposed, in thunder storm. Also in TS, inside the car is much safer than the tent, which is next to a car made of metal. You guys were very lucky, in my opinion.

If you are going to wait out lightening in a vehicle, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING METAL. The tires do not insulate you. The charge goes around you through the body of the vehicle.

It was a lot, we definitely overpaid for some of it. We planned on using it a ton though so that somewhat justified it for us. The two of us have slept in the RTT for somewhere between 65 and 75 nights since we got it just over a year ago, so comfort was important when we created our setup. We're not going to make many camping videos with it though. Thanks for watching!
