Yosemite Thunder and Hail Storm

[@blkcpdconure]

The only problem with these rain storm tent videos is they are usually too short. I love hearing the rain hit the tent when I’m camping!

[@RodrinBird]

I am from South, FL and visited Yosemite back in 2012 with my wife and parents. My God, what a majestic place! Only poetry can describe its beauty. We went to Glacier point and Mariposa Grove, can't wait to take my kids there one day.

[@trakyboy5128]

There@the end what a magnificent sky !!! And knowing that the camera never does justice to the scene I can only imagine how awesome it really must have been!!

[@sanglirmerang3836]

You are living in a beautiful land. I wish i could visit places like that. Bless ya.

[@lindapoore7608]

Wow! I would have snuggled in a sleeping bag and read a book until I drifted off to a wonderful sleep.

Awsom video,would love to have been there,but I think I would have already been sleeping.Thanks for sharing .

[@Erich-Lab]

@morning glory I camped in a hail storm in East Texas and lost two tents to that thing. Also got nifty bruises from the 1-2 inch hail. I have some pictures somewhere if you want to see the damage and injuries ^^ Hail storms are the best storms!

[@kalboff1482]

@@Erich-Lab hey, which tent do you use? Do you think there is a tent strong enough? Or can you recommend a tent?

[@ameliatoreson1590]

Yosemite is beautiful. I also love to be in a tent when it rains

[@terrapin227]

That was beautiful! Could have been bad without shelter though. What a great experience

[@wolfpack9958]

Absolutely beautiful country and a nice thunderstorm with a awesome sunset as the cherry on top. I grew up in So.Cal and can kick myself for not taking full advantage of what the Sierras can offer. I'm in North Carolina now and occasionally hit the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains but they fail in comparison to the mighty Sierras.

[@salmanaltaf5519]

I live in middle east K.S.A i wish if i spend my vacation in such a place like that ! Wo0ow so beautiful weather so romantic so relaxing, i would love to stay there for days as long as i can to enjoy that kind of awesome weather with my friends :D

[@matthewsmckenzie]

Great sunset! Funny, we had a similar situation a few years ago in the high country north of Hetch Hetchy. Personally, I can't stand being cooped up like that during a storm. So I ALWAYS carry heavy raingear -- especially a thick rubber sou'wester for hail protection. Find a nice, low-ish grove of trees to minimize lightning risk, stay off the ridgelines, and take in the views most people miss!

[@hebneh]

Fortunately, an interesting experience and not a tragic or dangerous one - not hit by lightning or a falling tree, not blown over by high winds, not washed away by a flash flood...and all those things do happen!

[@just2potamos]

that looks like a good tent

[@MrGotfast]

great choice in storing your bear canister in the vestibule :-)

[@Deeboskim]

MrGotfast Haha thanks for commenting (trolling maybe?), but don't worry we actually store it outside away from the tent at night when we are done using it. I'd think it would take a pretty eager/desperate bear to want to track down a closed bear canister during the day in a rainstorm that's sitting in a tent with two people in it. ;-)

[@dougfairweather]

Him 'I hope our tent can handle this!' Me 'I hope lightening doesn't strike the tree we've pitched under!'

[@Whiteshark111]

All your gear is going to get wet because you have a tent with no bottom. Now all the insects are heading for your tent to get out of the rain and there a little bigger than the ones in the city. Happy camping!

[@johnbdachel]

That's quite the hail!

[@rogerlamb536]

I love watching this video and their is just something about being in a tent in a storm. check us out we are from the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee area.

[@adrianoquendo8775]

awesome video!

[@schlaznger8049]

Someone stole the floor of your tent. Don't feel bad, I went out fishing and they stole my entire tent. You only lost half.

[@Deeboskim]

+schlaznger Haha it's hard to see in the video, but the tent actually does have a floor. It's a double wall tent and has two doors and vestibule storage areas outside of the inner tent. That's a bummer about your tent getting stolen though. Can't believe some people.

[@trakyboy5128]

@Derek Sinclair drinking doesnt pay 'eh????😄

Always bring a Tarp! just for extra help.

Fantastic!

[@hermit6208]

Awesome

[@Chriostopherbergs]

Opps, you guy's. I don't believe in rain flys, but excellent, light tarps are available. Always carry one.

[@kyler2532]

Was it intentional that you camped next to the river? I'm not familiar with the place but there is always dangers of flash flooding.

[@Deeboskim]

+Kyle R Normally we camp further away from water for impact reasons, but the storm was coming in fast, we needed to find a nice flat spot to setup quick. Only a 10% chance of thunderstorms that day, so we didn't think flash flooding would be an issue. Definitely learned to be more mindful of that now

[@PR4470]

Sounds like you're frying bacon in your tent.

[@marianomc9917]

[@NorCalRecon]

Hey Dustin, just curious to know if this video is from the month of June. Preparing ourselves for a possible June hike throw Lyell Canyon. :D

[@Deeboskim]

+Brian Waddle Yeah this trip was the beginning of June. Any of the spring through summer months you can get thunderstorm activity up there, even if the area's general forecast isn't really predicting them. So best to be prepared for them with at least a rain jacket/shell and fly for your tent. Usually they'll show up early afternoon and don't last long. Good idea to get most of your mileage done in the morning if and when possible, unless you don't mind hiking in the rain. You never know up there though. The weather is highly variable.

[@NorCalRecon]

***** Thank you for the insight.

[@jamesharvey4817]

Why do these people show us the environment, I would like to actually see the people living while the storm is happening. What do people actually do during the storm?

[@jayhogan1166]

Why is there a four inch gap around the bottom of the tent ? Unless the tent was free, you got screwed !!!

[@warbonet65]

Dude!

[@joewoodchuck3824]

No floor in the tent?

[@theeliminator565]

The hail didn't tear up your tent? I live in an area notorious for big hail......

[@Deeboskim]

I was pretty worried about that, but no it didn't damage the tent at all. This MSR tent has a pretty thick and durable rain fly, but pretty sure some of the Ultra light style tent fabrics I've seen would gotten tore up.

[@enereng0144]

How you like to be into a 22" Rainbow trout with marble size hail hitting you

[@sophiaoverduin7239]

are there no bears?

[@carlfetters8082]

Which MSR tent was this in your video? -Carl

[@Deeboskim]

I can't remember the model and it has since been discontinued. It's a 3 person similar to their Hubba models, but has less mesh on the inner walls and was rated for 3.5 seasons. We mainly use it now for shoulder season camping when temps are cold and rain or snow is in the forecast. It's still as good as new.

[@heatherstub]

@@Deeboskim So is the model info not included anywhere on the inside of the tent, or was it only included in the packaging? I thought the manufacturer was supposed to include it on the inside either near a zipper or the inner-most layer where you open and close the entrance. Even if they've discontinued it, I'd like to know in case they have one at a surplus store near me. Sometimes, our local newspaper "Where can I Find It?" section author will look for it if we know exactly what type or model it is. Thank you very much in advance if you find it.

[@Bikepacking]

what camera did you use thanks

[@Deeboskim]

+Solo Bikepacker Canon T2i for this video with kit lens

[@heatherstub]

It's got some of the best quality audio! If you go there again and get hit by another storm, could you record the entire thing including the before and after? That would be so nice. @@DeeboskimThank you very much.

[@heatherstub]

Were you able to get that? It looked like you only got the second half of my reply that says "Thank you very much." If you didn't, just read my question above that. Sorry about that; I don't know how it wound up like that.
