I love storms. Not tornado producing ones, but the thunder lightning and rain. Bliss.
Late night, watching your adventures. I'm a youngish 75 year old and I tremendously love watching your setting up camp. I commend you. I would be so afraid of the woods because of an innocent as a child someone was killed in watching was known as birds paradise. Any way, not that you put me to sleep but I enjoy you setting up and staying there and I have always enjoyed a spectacular storm! I give you so much credit. Darn, I wish I was 50 yrs younger to do such adventures. It just wasn't in the plan back then. When and if I get extra funds I would enjoy sending some. It's not in this world for seniors juggling whether to eat or get medicine. Love your program ❤️
Totally hear your heart. Wish I was healthy again. And young!
I'd been out camping before, albeit not like I was far out in the woods.
Luckily, we'd been camping along a stream we like to fish.
We had taken a nearby rd to get there, that wasn't that far off.
So when it got black with wind speed rising significantly ( the wife and kids became concerned). I said we'll be fine & then second guessed myself when fair sized hale suddenly showered us & the winds got even worse. We ended up just leaving everything where it was, while abruptly we could hear sirens all about town.
It was like police ambulances & fire trucks were responding everywhere ( & not all going to the same destinations)
So rather than go to our vehicle (like the wife suggested).
I op't to go for the nearest cover because things were getting like insanely bad.
We ran to the nearest bridge, which was closer to us than our car.
As we got in real close in under the intersect part where the concrete met the ground.
We wedged ourselves in (and I actually took off my pants to tie off one of the kids) to some exposed rebar. When she saw me do that, my wife did the same with our other daughter.
That's about when a tornado hit. Obviously, it had been working its way along toward us.
It was just surreal. I believe it went over top of us and across the rd ( & when it did) it was suddenly calm under the bridge.
With like white noise everywhere else, the sound surrounded us on both sides of the bridge. I couldn't really describe it then or now but it felt like our ears might pop.
While we just watched in awe fron under the bridge.
We were fine & had just the wildest experience you ever could.
Later, when we got back to our car, I noticed it had been moved.
God Bless you❤
I WOULD BE AFAID TO BE THERE ALONE
My mom, sister & myself love walking in the rain. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
I love to watch it rain. As a kid on the big farm house porch; I could sit for hours watching and listening to the rain.
Have to be honest Luke, those conditions are a normal day in the Scottish Highlands, heavy rain, strong winds, hiking in knee deep water, yep definitely Scotland on a good day.
And yet you're watching his video! You must be one of those Wal-Mart knobs.
Another Wal-mart knob here, I watched, or I should say flicked through, to see the wild storm etc., nothing ! @@jackieolsen2481
Someones never clearly been to Scotland. Only a real man survives Scotland. @@jackieolsen2481
Why so rude. She didn't say anything negative. She just said it is their weather there. She's used to it.
right.. be nice. she didnt say nothing mean.
This is the first video that I was genuinely nervous for your well-being. I had to keep reminding myself that you got home safe to allow you to post this. You sir are a steely eyed missile man. Stay safe!!!
No Luke is pro , I would fear for him however if he was up at lone wolf mountain in a storm with a french commando f2 , could kill a man ! Best wishes jim
Halo kawan.. Apa kabar.
Salam dari Indonesia🇮🇩
@@lesliehayton2929 you're right, i remember him saying in white-out conditions, there are no more trails and no more trail markers, and most people would get lost, but not Luke
I'm going to make coffee first, then get ready for the storm.
I fully support your priorities.
👍,,
The thing about adventures is you are happy when they are over 🙂
The only things I would carry was Water, Candy, Flashlight, Raingear, Empty basket, Plastic bag, Mora-knife.
You realise you do not need a lot to survive, but more to stay comfortable.
You always have so much sick gear compared to what I grew up with. I lived for the outdoors as a child, as most of us do. My mom(my fishing buddy) was murdered when I was 19. It took me a year or more after losing her before I was ready to camp again. When I finally did, it was so cathartic and ethereal because I could feel her with me the entire time. Whether it was collecting fire wood, hanging limb lines, setting up camp….she was there. Nature finds a way to be both terrifying and comforting, but most importantly…spiritual. Only nature chooses when she will award you with her spiritual wisdom, but when she does, it can be some of the most rewarding times you will spend outdoors.
How very beautifully said. I'm sure your mom was & remains very proud of you. May Nature continue to shelter you in her wild embrace! Peace & Blessings
Oh I'm so sorry man, I don't even know what to say when I read comments like this. Your mum is in my prayers tonight.
Those storm warnings still make my stomach drop, after having lived in Tulsa for a few years. Used to love those severe storms, but by the time you've seen several whirlygigs drop and not having shelter to run to with the kids, it really starts to get terrifying.
What would I do? If I had foreseen these conditions I'd have stayed home, or gone where there's shelter. No advance warning? Tarp up by the boulder and get ready to rope myself to it, possibly digging out a little bit by it.
I grew up in the Tulsa area. I'm 43 and that emergency buzzing sound still scares me. 😂
I completely understand how terrifying severe storms can be, especially when you have children with you. It's crucial to prioritize safety during outdoor adventures. One product I can recommend is the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It has a massive capacity, powerful output, and various charging options, ensuring you have uninterrupted power for your devices and appliances during emergencies. Stay safe out there!
OKC and West Texas... Should have gone home! Not worth the risk. Be in one tornado... You learn quick.
@@Stable_GeniusFayetteville here
When a man knows death could be imminent and he’s said his goodbyes he tends to walk with a sense of calm and collectiveness
VERY scary when you're hiking and the lightning and thunderclap are simultaneous, especially if you're in a vulnerable place.
Always, ALWAYS check local weather forecasts BEFORE heading out. Planning is everything, and if you know very bad weather is forecast, you can make a decision whether to postpone camping for that day. Also remember that mountains have their own weather systems so it's worth checking specifically mountain weather forecast apps before heading out.
I'm sure he did it for video footage!
Great use of his camera system. Seemed very professional! No jiggles and jerks lol. Thank you I enjoyed waiting with watching for weather.
Not knowing is the best part for some
@@gunslinger9626 Cold weather is one thing. Being beheaded by falling debris or being flattened by a falling tree is quite another As is being pushed over a precipice by 90 mile an hour winds.
He literally stated in the video that you have to be prepared for everything, and when he explained that, he stated that there was no storm predicted and the chance of precipitation was very low, meaning, he checked the forecast, he explained this after telling a story of another storm system him and his brother dealt where it dropped Temps so quickly and turned to a snow storm, weather is unpredictable, and can change at the snap of a finger, we see it so often in minnesota in winter that we literally state, "don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes"
Honestly, my first thought was that you’d set up the tarp at that huge rock for protection reasons. I had too many trees or limbs flying at me during storms in the past.
The only reasonable place for shelter
My wife and I camped at Indian Boundary Lake in a dome tent. A storm blew in in the middle of the night and we could hear trees crashing into the lake. Us lying in the tent was the only thing keeping it from blowing away. In the morning we discovered a concrete picnic table that had been broken in half from a tree falling on it. It was a heck of an adventure!
If it was me I would be camping in the back of my truck
YUP! I saw it too! As a once Eagle Scout, this guy blew it. But all this BS is ultra staged!
I came here to leave the same comment. That huge boulder with the flat side would have been an easy choice. I'd have rolled some big fallen logs up on top like a lean-to and cinched the tarp over the whole thing. Sitting on a hill, prone would have been crazy.
As someone who also lives on a mountain and an avid outdoors man I can totally appreciate you passion and enthusiasm! Thank you for all your great content and sharing your knowledge!! I grew up in the woods but will always find there is still much to learn no matter how much you think you know. Keep up the great work!
Raised in the mountains too, gotta watch for them widow makers as well.
Omg, Luke. I'm not even 15 minutes into this video, and I am already thinking that this is kind of exciting! But also, I'm thinking that if anything happens to you, we will all be totally devastated. We all love you, and care about you. You AND Susie. Now, back to finish watching the video.
The snap of a 3 foot redwood 9 miles in the Big Sur forest 50 feet away had me frozen not knowing which way to run. It fell in the raging river and swept half the tree away like a match stick
Sounds like SABAE ..
We were sitting around the campfire in the dark when an ancient tree decided to fall nearby and out of sight. It first sounded like someone had fired a large rifle and then the snapping branches sounded like a heard of elephants or dinosaurs were crashing through the woods. There was that a moment of What Is That?! The kids started crying. Very exciting.
Thanks Luke. I had to laugh. "There is the potential for extreme weather and deciding to leave or stay could be bad either way." "But there will be coffee!" Priorities! So long as I am caffeinated, it's all good!
Thanks for the adventure. Stay safe and God bless.
The Man has his priorities. 👍 ☕️
Its been years since I hiked and camped, but from what you shared, I’d rather hunker down in a known area, one I got to look over in the daylight. Trying to hike out, unless it’s like 10 minutes, is picking the unknown option. And giving up the little bit of control you do have. I’m right there with you!
Camping survival info and a storyline is a nice combo. I enjoyed the stormy weather. Brings back old camping memories.
MY 'judgment call' would always be to go to Lone Wolf Mountain. Nasty weather and nasty coffee would provide enough adventure for me.
You could camp under the tarp, use and test your gear, then, have a safe house/your cabin.
....
At this point, he’s a storm chaser lol
Wake up in the middle of the night n see Bigfoot sitting under your tarp what would you do ???
@@jaymeyers950 ... let him have the Jack Links jerky ... and a cup of Tasters Nasty ...
I truly love putting your content on, while I'm enjoying a nice meal, safe and warm at home. Thank you for your very enjoyable videos. I really think the editing is great, so much effort its almost forgotten about.
In reference to your question, I would stay put.
Exactly! Would not even know where to begin
Back after i got out of the army, the following year (2005) , I applied for a camp counselor position at an old kawanas club that i used to go to when i was younger in the outskirts of Little Rock. We had to prove we had what it took to survive on our own for two days in the thick forest so when we took our campers out on overnight adventures, they knew they could count on us. Long story short, a similar weather event came down on us and everyone else risked going back to the main office to weather out the weather. Everyone that left their camps got hurt going back in some way or another. I however stayed in place, protected myself the best I could in a ravine cave so I was protected as I could be and stayed warm and dry all night. I even up returning to base camp two days later to everyone else beat up and I even came back with all my food rations and more food that i obtained while I was out in the woods. I got in trouble for staying out but like i told them, where I was, I was well protected and if I had campers with me, there was ample room for them and lots of safety and fresh water from the underground springs in the same cave system I was in. Sometimes staying in place is the safest situation, especially in the woods during survival projects. Going back, I likely would've met the same fate everyone else did, so common sense and knowledge is what saved me.
The open high plains of New Mexico is terrifying during a lightning storm. The thunder that comes right after a strike will knock you off your feet.
I love the sound of rolling thunder in the forests with higher elevation. I believe If I was stuck in bad weather as I have been in the past, I would find a large Boulder or an area to partially be covered. I experienced similar storms in the White Mountains hiking up to the summit. We hunkered down under a rock ledge after we got soaked. Then the temperature dropped. Scary. Just don't panic. That is the worst. Dumb things happen when you lose control of your thoughts, at what is the best choice to make.😊
IF I were in your situation, I'd shelter beside a huge rock or cliff face, set up my tarp so rock is blocking the wind, hunker down and wait it out. That's what all the forest animals are doing. They've found themselves cozy spots where they feel safe and they're gonna stay there until the storm passes. I'd certainly not try to leave after the storm started! That's way more dangerous than finding a sheltered spot and waiting it out. You did the right thing.
Me2
I camped in France in juli when suddenly a thunderstorm with hail started, with hailballs the size of a pingpong ball. I had never experienced that but it began with a loud noise of storm coming our way and than suddenly big balls fell on the ground and on our tent. A few years before I camped on the same camping and their was a huge thunderstorm with an extreme amount of rain I had never seen in my life. The tarp didn’t make it, I hosed buckets of water every second and just stood there keeping my tent and tarp up, by letting the water of it.
A lightning struck 300 meter from my tent. I had never been that scared in my life.
.👍
Luke is like Steve Erwin. He is going to keep pushing the boundaries of what is dangerous until the very end.
Is he loaded for bear ? If near his vehicle, it should be nearer ? As im a novice Eagle Scout, seems storms Canoeing on fresh or saltwater requires even more caution.
“I’m not going to expose myself.”
😂😂
Good to know.
Thanks for sharing.
To survive a tornado, you have to find a hole or the deepest depression in the ground that you can find and get your body as low down into that as humanly possible so the wind can't just suck you up into the funnel. Just dig in there and ride it out, no matter how loud it gets or how scared you are.
🕳 🏃 🌪 👈😳
Absolutely! I'd be gigging my way to China!
what about drowning?
A shallow hole will do no good. Even an F-1 tornado will carry you off with ease. The protection you need is from flying debris or being thrown against something. I would lash myself to that boulder to prevent being picked up or from some trees falling. But a tornado blows in all directions as it passes over you. This is why it's a terrible idea to hide under an overpass on the highway. Debris will just be driven up underneath it. So unless you are inside a strong, heavy place well connected to the ground, or a cave deep enough to prevent being sucked out, you can easily be mangled, skewered, crushed, sliced or slammed.
@@Jones4Leather yeah that's why in movies in stuff where they get in a ditch or something isn't the greatest. Run to the nearest building!!! A ditch should only be if there is no other option. Even a wooden building is better.
Being from Missouri, I’ve experienced alot tornadoes I’ve been in 15 of them! I’ve had 3 land on me in a semi truck, I kept going and luckily got out of them. I was always at the very front of them. And recently at home I was super close to a tornado that was 2.4 miles away, I was standing on the front porch entire time, could hear the “freight train “ sounds as they say. Personally I would hunker down and wait it out. That’s just me. I’ve never been on a mountain in crazy storm like that. I would prolly stay hunkered down and find a rock to shelter me. Other than that idk lol.
Wow that weather was horrendous, but the sound of the rain on the tarp was amazing
Absolutely fantastic Luke. You bring back memories for me Of The Australian Outback, when I hiked in the Ancient Flinders Ranges on a 10 day hiking camp. Got hit with mother nature for 5 days straight. Keep up these Adventures ( DARE TO VENTURE ) ... Cheers from the land of Oz 🇦🇺
Great video! I admire your love of nature and the great outdoors!
I lived off the grid for 5.5 years in Oregon and I totally feel you on that uncertainty. I did have to abandon my spot couple storms. Only because the winds was snapping the trees around me and it was to dangerous. I went back afterwards the next day and although some trees roots were pulled out of the ground it never came into the circle of my location. Completely too close for me to witness it. So I was glad I left when I did.
Anybody who's been out there appreciates what you're doing many of us had been in that situation so many times
Glad to see there’s no high strong wind.. just sky playing bowling..lol I love the rain and the sound of thunder.. cozy!!
This reminds me of my trip in April off the Washington coast. Minus the thunder and tornado warnings, of course. 20Mph sustained winds, 40+mph gusts, pouring rain 40F temps, 98% humidity.
Spent 2 nights there. Was hell of a lot of fun, but also exhausting and stressful. Sleeping was interesting because every 10-15 minutes a gust of wind would catch the tent and "WHOMP" - I felt like I was in a sail boat. My nice fuji camera stayed in in its dry bag most of the trip. Wish I had a gopro at the time.
My outter gear was soaked through and through - Thankfully all my insulation was synthetic. my rain gear was only really good for wind protection. Was smart enough to bring dry clothing to sleep in, and had a synthetic bag. Inside my tent was my dry refuge.
Can't wait to do it again!
i am scared of storms but i have to admit i found this very relaxing. I can imagine that hammock was very relaxing…I would love to do this kind of camping.
Hey Luke, u asked viewers if we would stay put or go during this thunderstorm (my own personal choice would be 2 stay put, moving about could potentially be more dangerous lightning could lock on 2 u & strike u) better 2 be safe than sorry. Stay safe Luke!! 😁 ⛈️ 🌩⚡️👍
I found it weird that there were no birds singing, completely silent. I noticed it as you hiked in. Ominous.
Sasquatch !
The birds can feel the pressures the storms create and know to get cover
Birds flew to safety. They know about storms before they actually get to their locations. Its the pressure in the air.
Glad it was safe for you Luke. I am addicted to your rain/storm vlogs!
@@NoTrail umm what?
@@NoTrail Oof, a troll, gross. So tell me, in detail how it is faked, please.
OMG 😮! The Storm is rolling in and I'm a tornado lover but not while camping,! I can't believe how calm you are! I'm getting scared. I'm scared to go back to the play button!!!
The lightning here in the deep south hits tall trees. It takes a strip of bark off in a downward spiral shape. Then the tree dies. We see this in suburbs with big trees and the surrounding forests.
The guy that recorded Blood Meridian was absolutely awesome 👌
I would have hunkered down, as you did. If I had left under those conditions, I’d be in a hurry, and likely to trip on something, which would not help my cause! Great video.
I so love thunder & Lighting storms. The louder the better. I love to go outside & watch the lightning love the rain too.
Nature. Weather. It is what it is.🤷♂ That's camping.☺👍
I just love this channel and how you capture the eerie weather in the forest, while we all watch from the safety of our beds... Isn't it very satisfying watching other folk in danger while we take none of the risk! 😀
…danger…?! NOT for ANYONE, in my plans/hopes…HOWEVER, I’ll enjoy MY “comforts” while YOU “handle” that raining weather…Be CAREFUL, OK? Thanks for your vid’s…. 👍🏻
Actively attacked by yet another violent and vicious weather event....... Things are indeed looking up in Luke world 😅
Respect to you Mr Luke what you do and respect yo your courage and determination you always do trips in storm lightning.
.👍
I love camping, and I love inclimate weather, and I love camping in inclimate weather!! Very good video, enjoyable and fun!! Thanks for sharing these little expeditions.
Salam kenal dari Indonesia kawan.
That's super true ' not many people get to go out to do what they love to do '. So that's compensated by watching interesting outdoors camping videos of you guys. For a little while transporting us into a different world, an escape from the real sick circumstances we are stuck living whatsoever.
I know you got home okay, as you posted the video. But I worried about you until you were up at 4:00. Thank you for the vicarious adventure!😊
Always inspired by your courage and stamina in all sorts of conditions, Luke. Wishing the very best to you and your family. 😊
Lol... 😂 Courage
@@Solo_adv Go on now, go out into the random woods in the middle of a severe storm.
@@HazardWolfCorp
That's where I am.
Tropical storms hurricane winds in a rainforest. (Three) 200 ft. Eucalyptus trees fell about a hundred feet from my off grid cabin two weeks ago as a hurricane passed the islands.
Lol... 😂 You sound like a fluffy kinda guy.
@@Solo_adv Im unsure what sort of insult you were attempting but alright bud. Just sounds a bit pretentious when you make fun of someone else being called courageous for weathering out a bad situation. Makes one think, do you have some sort of notion that you are better than someone else?
Well, so much for the "quick" cowboy camp. That's why you go prepared! Well done.
I was in the boundary waters canoe area one time during a little storm. Very hard rain, strong wind, lightning. We knew it was going to rain most of the night so we had set up our camp accordingly. I have a pretty nice North face tent, i put down a bed of pine needles and a ground tarp under the normal tent pad. We made sure there were no trees, obviously ready to come down. It poured so hard, I thought the tent was going to collapse from the weight of the water falling on it, it was like we were set up under a waterfall. It was scary as hell
I love the "you're still here...." parts. I always think "well of course" gotta see what else Luke has to say. 😊
Looks like a good time for those of us that like that kind of thing. Also like the turtle head looking at the sky at 24.59! 🤣👍🐢
Hello Luke,, I do enjoy camping in the rain,, but high winds and bad storms do concern me,, yes I probably would have left myself, great video and stay safe.👍
Luke my friend, this outdoor adventure with you literally had me pulling my hair. I was so concerned about you. Thankful to God that He protected you. Please stay safe. Love to you and Susie.
Luke this is my first time commenting on one of your videos. I’m not a camper at all but I really enjoy your videos. Back in the 70s I was in the Air Force assigned in New Mexico. We deployed out in the middle of anywhere. Six of us slept in a 12 man tent for close to two months. I said never again. But I really do not you and your lovely wife’s videos. Through you and your videos I feel like I’m camping without going camping. lol Have a wonderful life you two. Peace and Honor
I keep telling myself, if I’m seeing this you made it home in one piece. I would stay put because I wouldn’t make it back out before it hit, but may have set the tarp up over the big rock from the get go.
No one hunkers down like Luke. This one had an eery quality to it. Lol. Could have been worse though right. Thanks for bringing us along as you slosh through the forest. Blessings to you and your family.
All the time I’ve watched you eat packaged meals. I have yet to see solid food. Call it what you want…It’s still SOUP to my eyes!!!! Blessings on you and your family. Love the program. Have learned alot.
Cheers, Luke! Be safe!
Nothing like hanging out in 100% humidity with chances of being whisked off to Oz😉 Nice one Luke, good move getting up extra early too. Raining in the mountains is something to be expected more often than not although it seems your area gets far more than where I'm used to going. Thanks for the trip, work and video goodness. See ya next time.
I LOVE camping or being outside in extreme weather. Wish it would storm every day!
You don’t have a job do you?
20 years ago I did a lot of Clark Jungle hammocking - no issues. Did take a while to get used to the "confinment" of a hammock but once you let go of that - a good night sleep is in store
Great video, Luke. I always enjoy your adventures. Strength and honor!
Luke, you always carry all the water you need for a trip.
Always be safe and stay strong Luke
Thanks Luke ,for anther great video.😮
Nothing like the sound of rain on a tarp and the wind blowing through the trees. I live in Petaluma CA and I'm hoping this upcoming winter will bring the rain, wind and hail like last season. Great video!
Thanks for sharing your video Luke. And thank God the weather conditions didn't take a turn for the worse. Glad you made it through and stayed safe. Great video my friend.👍🙂
Hi Luke , In a situation like that , I would stay put and Hunker down , The Rock looks to be a good option , If the Trees become to Dangerous .
Love the sound of the rain. Relaxing and makes me sleepy all safe under my roof. Thanks so much!! Great video
Being in a forest during a Big storm is Awesome !
Great video Luke. You could see how things could have gone really bad
For the last week since I discovered your channel, I've been constantly falling asleep watching your videos
I recently demolished the wrap around bug net from my Wise Owl hammock (totally my own fault) and replaced it with an attached bug net like this one. It was a cheapo I got on amazon prime day. I went through a nasty storm in the new hammock with the attached bug net and had a similar problem. Previously, I think I did not have this problem since the bug net I used wrapped around the hammock providing a better path for the water to run instead of into the hammock where I was sleeping. Pros and cons to different setups I suppose, but I will be replacing the original bug net and be more careful so I can have a better time staying dry. The replacement hammock goes into a bin where it will probably never be used again. Thanks for you videos.
..
Are we bad people for hoping for the storm? lol Just messing with you.... but we might be hoping for the storm 😂 You always know what to do, so you're teaching us a lot!
I was 'still here' and your trip was 'awesome.' Audiobooks are a great idea for solo campers! 'B' films are not for everyone!
WOW! How am I just now finding this channel?? This is like one of those, "Where have you been all my life?" moments! Loved every second!
When you were describing your audio book narrator, you made me laugh. Somewhere deep inside of you, you're a natural comedian.
Handsome Luke and Beautiful Suzy be careful out there, and stay safe , the world is becoming a crazier ride day by day with weather and fire, and disasters like floods or others. Thanks for your honest gear reviews.
This is the first time I have ever seen you look worried. But you must have made it out ok, cos you posted the video 🙂
Well to be honest and since you asked, I would have pitched the tarp over by that big rock where I have some protection. But if you are planning a hammock adventure, I can see why you picked the spot you did.
I LOVE the sound of the thunder and rain on the tarp. Nothing better than that. Well done once again Luke. Thanks for taking us all along on your adventure.
So glad I came across your vids, brilliant production, perfect voice, never boring. I can live my dreams through you. Outstanding!
Another rain storm video. Luke's in danger oh no. Same old same old.
Fantastic video! I love camping when it’s raining at night and we’re nice and cozy in our tent reading a good book. It’s a different story when there’s severe weather but I’m glad it went around you. How do you think your comfort level would have been if you were in a tent instead of the hammock?
Hi im new to your channel. I love thunder n lightning. Dont like tornados they kill & damage everything. Loved watching this. Thanks for sharing glad you made it through the weather.
Real camping when you've got the sound of the raindrops on the tent...I love it.
Excellent video. You’re a lot braver than many.
Truly,...........Inspirational. Your patience and skill are what makes this experience, watchable. Thanks, Sir Luke!
I always crack up at the majestic shots of Luke looking off into the distance lmao
These are my absolute favorite videos of yours. Great watch! Strength and Honor my friend.
Curious what you do with food at night? I'm familiar with these areas and Bears can be very curious when you leave food out. I've gone to using a Bear Vault here in the Southern Appalachians.
You had an excellent observation to move over to that large rock if the storm got really bad and branches and trees were coming down. My question is - since you got the report that the weather might get bad - why didn't you move your tarp over to the rock immediately? Seems like you could have protected yourself and rest a little - taking yourself off of high alert.
the unexpected is what makes camping real fun .
