Here are a few crucial things to know about lightning safety: Take shelter inside a building or vehicle, if at all possible (obviously, this isn’t usually an option when you’re backpacking) If you are caught out in the open (like in a meadow), find the lowest spot you can and crouch down with your feet together Avoid tall lone objects (like trees that are by themselves), instead look for groups of trees or a forest Do not shelter in shallow caves which can conduct lightning (sheltering in a deeper cave might be okay) Get off peaks or ridgelines as quickly and safely as possible Avoid being in or near water If you’re in a group, spread out at least 15 feet apart Abandon anything metal (this may mean temporarily ditching the poles and your backpacking gear until a thunderstorm passes) It’s likely safer outside your tent than inside Learn how to read the clouds for forming thunderstorms If you feel tingling or hear a buzz… get out of the area immediately
