Sometimes the rain can be so peaceful, I feel the same way about snow. The rain is invigorating and the snow quiets the environment around you. Definitely been on plenty of backpacking trips where we had a day or two of rain. I've ridden my bike in every possible weather event (well, not a tornado or a hurricane.)
I completely agree! The power of the elements all around you!!!
On multi-day hikes there is nothing you can do anyway lol.
I do love the quiet of the snow! Just not the cold of it
I have been on so many way out bike rides, and you really have no choice but to endure and put the proper gear on or find shelter. I tend to put on the proper gear. I remember stopping beneath the overpass once, because the hail was starting to hurt.
Yes! Iβve been there! Lol
Now I said yes, but any good hiker knows and is aware of the dangers that weather brings. So as long as you know your limits and are prepared for it, then yes... it's amazing fun. But taking risks for the shake of risk taking is more dangerous than not planning for it and being prepared for it.
Always prepared is my motto. Wool socks 𧦠are being prepared
Definitely pack some dry cloths in a water prove bad... hypothermia is the real risk; all depends on how far out you are going and what your exposure will be. Dry tinder and lighter fluid are a well advised in case you get stuck... and tree fall is real risk that most do not think of.
Always pack properly. Absolutely. And be educated! Iβve come close to hypothermia but a constant slow walk saved me from that
As far as a tree falling on me? Iβll chalk that up to divine intervention and hope it crushes my skull and not just my legs π. Iβve seen and heard many crash over
Just wanted to let you knowβ¦ π a branch fell on my head during my hike in a storm today, and I thought of you! π€£
My awesome hat saved the day lol.
And yes I must relay the blame to your suggestion π

I did enjoy going out and about during thunderstorms... and I would even get up on the roof
that was till one day in which one lightning strike hit somewhere and left me blind and deaf for a full minute or so...
so, I do try not to love that kind of energy this close... since my late teens, lol...
π I get a kick outta that energy. I had a bolt strike less than 10 feet away!
I can imagine you had to change your pants after that one.
@DubiousIntentions to be honest, I didn't have time to get scared or anything... lol
it's just... confusion, followed by five minutes of rapid heart beating, lol
Pretty much! Lol
I have a farmers porch and I like to sit out there during a thunderstorm and just take it all in.
Me too!!! β€οΈ
No way, a good way to get zapped β‘ and a good way to not hear something like a predator or foe, or anything for that matter, coming among all the wind and chaos and noise and lightning and booms. Lol. No thanks 👍 I'd seek shelter or stay in shelter.
Especially the real world horror stories out there. An incoming storm, suddenly usually, and the trouble or bad luck it brings. Two people got eaten by a bear like that in a "supposed" surprise attack , scary scary in the wilderness like that second photo. Anyways π» as a storm rolled in. Scary and spooky π±π«£
I went on an accidental hike once and it was terrible.
Those are bound to happen!
Why make yourself a target for lightning?
Nature energizes and revitalizes me. And storms arenβt going to scare me off a good hike
Or a target for something far worse ππ
A predator, a foe, even a falling tree unknowingly
I am kindred spirit with natures wrath. π
I could see it being fun.

No, I love thunderstorms but that's too risky.
