Hammocks and Lightning

How true lol...btw, I like your Greek proverb. Japanese potters make clay and bury it and let it age for the next generation of potters to use.

??? Clay is naturally occuring...

You need to watch Shugs recent video on his 8 day trip. Shug and Hickory were hungered down on the side of mountain with thunder, lightning and rain. They had good spirits but it was something to behold.

Note to Self: Get name of cousin and buy lottery ticket with him...Twice!

Oh Yeah ....... it were fun, fun, fun. We felt as safe as one can in the wild .... You are gonna get some stuff thrown at you out there and I feel a positive and joyful attitude makes your odds better ..... or at least more fun!
Here is the video with the lightning storm: Linville Gorge with Shug & Hickery PART 3

When the light'ning and thunder start up I want nothing to do with trees. unless they're down in a gulley. Out here in the Iowa flatlands we had a farmer lose about a dozen cattle that hid under a tree during a lightnin strike. I've been driving in a thunderstorm and had a near miss blow the driver's side door window in all over me. Too dumb to get scared, I got mad that the ins. deductible wouldn't pay for it. Camping in the Black Hills and the thunder honestly never quit banging and rumbling echoing then another blast. A spectacular show, and comforting knowing we were on low ground. Heard later on the radio that that storm started close to 30 forest fires.

One good option would be to use a lightning deflector....let me know if you find one...

I have a friend who is quite a bit taller than I am. Ta-da!

If we were talking about high-voltage not quite as high as lightning you would be unaffected since your not touching the ground. With lightning, however, anything in the vicinity is going to be affected. My cousin was knocked out by lightning striking a light pole in the middle of the Virginia Tech drill field only because of proximity. For the record, he's been struck twice.

Does he have any lucky numbers for the lottery??? Post here please! I need more STUFF.

note to self: find name of cousin and avoid at all cost

No way - I think we just found our lightning deflector. Camp with the cousin but make sure he sets up ... over there.

Poor cousin tho - struck twice... That's gotta leave a mark.
