Overnight in a Thunderstorm, Heavy Rain Lightning, Russian Ratnik Gear

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks for watching! I have a review of the Bober backpack I am using in this video on the way. 25L assault backpack with carrying system based on my larger Raid backpack I have been using the past few months.

When I was 18 my graduation present was a shopping spree at an army surplus store in Portland Oregon followed by a 3 day backpacking trip into the Cascade wilderness. It rained all 3 days and was the best time of my life living under a tarp and eating boiled beans and jerky. Cheers!

[@EnduranceRoom]

Nice! That sounds like it was an awesome experience for sure. Have a good one!

[@thomasmusso1147]

And probably made more memorable by it's simplicity.

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

A good old rainstorm, the best medicine for sleep that I know of. Sweet setup. Stay safe.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks Opal! I was pretty surprised how much sleep I got in the midst of all that. It was coming in sideways for a bit. Good ole poncho draped over me and my gear. Have a good one.

Thanks brother!

Nice to see a bush crafter actually carrying a rifle like a true woodsman! I never have and never will go into the woods without a rifle and these days usually a sidearm as well.

I like the way you show real skills, using solid methods, with minimal kit and surplus gear. Great videos! Keep them coming!

[@thomasmusso1147]

An interesting night .. rain did not stop play though 👍. Anyway, skin is waterproof 😊. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent overnighter! Great test of skills with the storm, looked like you kept dry. That steak looked awesome!

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks brother. It was a good night out. Little surprised at the weather, but had an extra poncho with me and was up off the ground on the bunk, so it all worked out.

Wife seeing this: that poor man, he must be miserable! Me: That lucky guy LOL. Good trip, crap like that happens to me all the time, can't trust any weather prediction. A 25 liter pack is really tiny, book bag size, you obviously have the gear choice dialed in right. Great video.

[@tramontane3239]

Good trip. Always worth the watch.Thanks.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thank you. Always appreciate it. Have a good one.

[@TheScoundrel70]

What a beautiful storm! The only way to test your gear and setup is to let nature hit you with a random check. Looks like you were carrying the appropriate kit in your pack, and knowledge in your head Jess. It may not have been the trip you planned, but it still looked awesome!

[@EnduranceRoom]

thank you, Sean! It was a good night out all in all. I had an extra poncho with me that I have been using as a ground sheet. When the rain hit, I pulled everything up on the bunk and covered with the poncho.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thank you!

[@mbarr1029]

The rain is the EXACT reason for liking this tarp. The 3-4" overlap on the tie outs keeps the rain off you. With less space. Just love the tarp. Ratnik or what ever you call it, it is the best design I have seen on the market. I want one. And will get one. As I can afford one. Then again if they are is stock?

[@manfredneumann938]

Keeping the tinder and dry wood in the shelter was schmart Jess. Good One

Thank you, Manfred! Appreciate it. You too!

Such a good video, where do I start. Simple little shelter. The rain would have put my old cold for sure. Bear footin it in the morning. You beast lol. Thanks for sharing. As always be well my friend.

Great video...yes I agree..it was good to be off the ground...when possible you should always be raised ..or good drainage around shelter...super raised bed...Love your equipment and your food raised to keep the BEAR 🐻 away...your forest looks in the Carolinas... what weapon was you carrying...???

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thank you, Glenn. I think I would like the Carolinas. It is a CZ 527. Nice little 30 brush tool.

[@jameshayden5053]

Wow. First that Gear is, and always is Awesome. But there is something Grounding? Soul Searching/ Mind Healing about what you just did. Alone, Staring at the fire, Lying under a Shelter in the Rain with the Thunder and Lightning as an added bonus. Man I miss being able to connect like that. I know without a doubt I was more "Even Keeled " if that is the Correct Term. Preciate what you do Brother.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thank you much, James! It is a real blessing being out in nature. Grounding and healing for sure. That storm was pretty surreal. Thanks for the support, my friend.

[@bamadanbushcraft5369]

James, I am in total agreement with you on the grounding, soul searching and healing. Jess is an awesome Dude. I feel like I'm there with him. Wishing I was anyway.

Yeah brother. Been a few times now. This trip, something was hanging out in the trees about 100 yards in front of my shelter. Let me know it was there as I was turning in for the night. I shut my phone off and it snapped 3 sticks. It knew I shut it off. It was still there a couple hours later, as the storm was getting started. Moved behind so it was out of view in the lightning.
