yeah. been in the high country during a few storms and will say it was awesome and exciting but not terribly enjoyable.
never been hit but I have had it strike close enough to make my hair stand up and come close to loosening my bowels.


podcast on this subject would probably be a help to many.

maybe part of it focusing on where to set up camp?? do you stay in tent or brave the elements ?? and such.

How about remote scouting tips when all you have is some maps and the internet (google earth for example).

X2, I would really like to see this.

To add to this, some discussion on effectively using GIS online to find public lands; highlight lesser known, alternative GIS sites free to the public.
