Camping Under a Giant Umbrella • In a Thunderstorm!

This umbrella made an unexpectedly cosy lil nook! It wasn’t watertight, so I chucked a small tarp over it (which defeats the object of using the umbrella I guess, but I still loved it under there). My first experience of sleeping wild during a thunderstorm was just gorgeous
⚠️ It's never entirely safe to be outside in a thunderstorm. If you find yourself outside during one, lose elevation and get to lower ground as fast as possible. Get away from peaks and ridges. Stay out of water. Stay away from tall objects in open spaces. Caves and stone huts may feel safer, but actually offer zero protection against lightning. Trees can be hit and can fall down, or be set on fire. In this case, the storm was always a few miles away and never directly overhead. This is still not entirely risk-free, as lightning can travel several miles, but it is safer than being directly under a thunderstorm. Your chance of being hit by lightning is extremely low - but it still happens

Agree with third age angler, a better brand like Fox or Korda will be waterproof and you can remove the pole and use storm poles on the front for stability. I have one that is over 10 years old and still waterproof.

I think this channel is better than a lot of other bushcraft channels because its more real. Things go wrong, sometimes you get drenched, and sometimes your tarp blows away in the night. Instead of buscrafter telling you how you're doing it wrong or have bad kit, its just fun mistakes and enjoying your time in the woods.

@mx-0163 10 ай бұрын

@bechris9959 I mean yeah. It's KZfaq. I don't think anyone is expecting to watch bushcraft documentaries here. Anyone who has ever done bushcraft should know that things go wrong constantly. This is more real because some of the things that go wrong are shown unlike other channels. That's not really difficult to understand I thought.

@@WildBeare : Glad to see your physio seems to be working. Have you ever considered a wild camp on a beach? Or are there none close enough to you that are suitably isolated? Or even a camping trip from an inflatable kayak, or paddle board. Camping on an island in the river. It might make for interesting photographs of tree branches overhanging the water and the tree roots in the water. You might have to share the island with geese or ducks but that would add interest imo. Best wishes to you, I always enjoy your shenanigans.

@@WildBeare : I holidayed in Rhodes a few years back. The air was hot and sultry, with the promise of a storm. As I was sitting under a beautiful tree at a restaurant, a bolt of lightning hit the ground about 100 feet from me. The bang was tremendous and I could feel the reverberation it caused as a shock wave. The staff immediately hustled everyone inside until the storm was over. When I returned a few months later, the cafe had pruned many of the branches of the tree I had sat under, totally disfiguring it. I loved that tree. Lol

Your perpetual sense of adventure and willingness to try anything is just delightful. I do love a good storm. I've quaffed a pint in my hammock during one, but I've also been trapped on a mountain ridge in one, also in my hammock, but utterly humbled and terrified as my eyes were blinded my lighting bolts and thunder rattled my very soul. I carry a lightning tracker that I can turn on at the first rumble of thunder so that I can make sound decisions as a storm approaches me. As always, I enjoyed this!

best advice i can give for waterproofing ; thick contractor garbage/bin bags. Cut them along one side to open them up for larger surface area, and put them either under, or over your tarp/shelter. They are very cheap, but extremely effective. Best advice for warmth, as a canadian, Wool. Even when its soaking wet, it will keep you toasty warm.

I have used a similar system in storms loads of times when working on security duties in the countryside though my umbrella has zip on full walls & a tarp for the front. Bit of extra seam seal should work to waterproof better

I go carp fishing and sleep under a brolly all the time...it's a lot more sturdy than yours and is proper snug, even in a downpour. I loved the music that you played over the bit when you are getting the tarp over🙂

You're vid's are so fun to watch, Claire. Thanks for them. If you want to waterproof a piece of equipment, mix one part of good quality silicone, with about 20 parts paint thinner. I forget what Englander's call it. Make sure the item you want to waterproof is clean and dry. Hang it such that no part of the item overlaps, you can make two applications within a day or three of each other. Mix the silicone and paint thinner well, very well, and keep mixing it as you apply it. Use a wide brush to apply it. Don't do this work indoors! Wear old clothes, rubber gloves, and face protection if you can get it. Be smart applying it. Let the item hang in good ventilation for three or four days. Hang it in the sun to accelerate drying. Hope this helps.

what a legend.. solo camping and being mentally happy with this is pure peace! Imagen this women writting a book about her mental health and how much you would get from it. We are all in an age of mental health crisis! If we all just camped on our own for a few days a year with out technology it would be such a better world with out sleeping tablets and medication. We all need that switch off and to reconnect with out ancestry roots! Being human in an AI world is harder than we think! Love this, keep going. Hopefully my business journey will allow me to do something similar soon!

I once was camping in a thunder storm in the forests of Germany. With the lighting crashing and the thunder rolling, I sat in my tent dialing through the various radio stations on my short wave radio (this was before smart phones). I landed on a a station playing the 1812 overture, cannon volleys and all. It fit perfectly to the heavenly cannonande reverberating through the canopies.

As an electrical engineer keep one of these in the car for when working in outdoor substations, when working on the switchgear you can pop this up over the top in seconds. [the one I have is quite strong so when tied down it doesn’t move in the wind] One of the things I like is that you can erect a tarp over it like an awning at the front. tie the tarp guy line to the center pommel and continue the Guy line down to the floor at the rear, and tie down to the side ground pegs, then lift the tarp up at the front. [in effect the umbrella becomes the rear and side walls of you tent]
