3 days Arctic Backpacking & Solo Camping in a Heavy Rain, Lightning, Severe Thunderstorms & Heavy Wind, Scariest Storm Camping experience of my life! ASMR and Rain Sounds.

The closest Nordic town measured a record breaking rainfall of 36.4 mm in one hour, which is an all time high record for the northern half of the country. This happened sometime around my dinner time.

This was my scariest storm camping experience so far. I was above the polar circle in the arctic at 70.5° North, alone 35 km into the wilderness, when one of the most brutal thunder and lightning storms I have ever experienced hit me. It lastet for over 12 hours and had some of the most scary thunder and lightning I have seen. It felt like I was getting hit right on the head. I did manage to capture some great footage of the lightning though. This is the furthest north and most remote place I have ever backpacked in a very wild and cool area. I obviously survived so enjoy the storm!
