High Desert Camping Adventure: Heavy Rain, Hail, and Close Lightning Strike

In this video, I meet up with some buddies for an awesome 2 night camp trip in the Sawtooth Mountains near Datil, New Mexico. While hanging out at camp a sizeable thunderstorm hit the area dumping rain, hail, and almost being hit by lighting. Nothing beat hanging out with some buddies in the mountains, we cook up some awesome food, enjoy some cold beer and explore the mountains.

    Hello Ruben their is something to be said about hanging with your buds, camping out, sharing cooking skills/recipes and having a beer with your friends. That crazy weather that pops up--hail rain and thunderstorms with lightning!!! Time for another beer and enjoy the show!!! This by far is one of your better experiences out in the elements!!! That hail and persistent rain would have ended many a camping trip. I congratulate your persistent effort. Be well, stay healthy. And thanks for sharing 👍 Toledo Ohio.

    Man this was such an awesome trip with my buddies. When we camp we always have some good food and beers. Dude that storm was something else lol. But you are right, something like that could end up making people leave and we ended up having some good laughs. What makes the difference is your preparedness. Thanks for watching buddy. I hope all is well your way! Take care.

Things you see at that altitude in the wild are amazing can't understand why people want to live in a city. By the way, that breakfast you made looked amazing and made me hungry wish I could have had some. I'm going to have to try that myself. Single person serving of course. Stay well be safe. 👍👍

    Man I look cooking on that wok. We call them discos out here because they are made from a disc plow the farmers use to cultivate fields. That is wild you guys get storms like that also. We get these types of storms typically up high in the mountains above 10000ft. But it's not out of the equation to see them down lower. I thought for sure I was going to have hail damage, but it didn't thankfully. Thanks for watching. I'll be out on the Quad next and more often since things are open. My buddies were like, dude, lets get a trip in. Have a good weekend buddy.
