How Was One Man Struck by Lighting Seven times?

Been in some hairy situation on cliffs where storms rolled in, blacked out, and just had to hunker down in like a cave, right? And just waded out, but nothing horrible. Your kidney stone was bad, but really, like some of the things you'd think that would happen. If I die back there, it's probably not gonna be from a bear. I'm probably gonna fall off a cliff. Like, that's the one thing I would guess would happen. That's how Cam's buddy Roy died. Yeah. On a sheep hunt. Serious. That's a... That one there is probably worse than any... The chances of having a bear eat you is so slim, but lightning and cliffs are probably the worst ones. Yeah, lightning is another fucking scary one, huh? That's a normal experience out there. There's lightning storms. Yeah, and in that one area, the Songard of Christos is a mountain range, and it's, uh, like scientifically worse there because of the heat from the ground and the cold from above. The lightning storm's there. We go down there just to photograph. What do you do if you're in a lightning storm? Do you get near trees? Because if you get near trees, what if the trees get hit? I'm gonna give you horrible advice. I don't do shit. I just get in my tent and do my thing. Really? So when there's a lightning storm, you just lay in your tent and hope it doesn't hit you? Well, I mean, the reality of it is, is as they blow over, you may be causing... And I'm not an expert at this. It's just, I have the... If it's my time, it's my time. So I just get in and I listen to an audiobook and I'm trying to pretend it's not there. And that is probably horrible advice, but the reality is my buddy... What audiobook would you listen to when you're almost dying from a lightning storm? The Crow Killer, Jeremiah Johnson. Oh, damn, you're getting serious, Mountain Man. Yeah, yeah, I'd listen. That one helps me go to sleep. That dude's voice is, helps me go to sleep. But my buddy, which I don't know if I can say his name, she's on an ODA team, him and his buddy, this fucking guy's get hit with lightning in the spot where we killed a bull and he texts me and he said something about this reminded me of, I think he got hit with an RPG or something. And I'm like, well, dude, are you good? That's a hell of a buildup to a story with no finish, right? He's got scars where the lightning came out of its... No, that's where it entered and then it blew the front of his or his buddy's shoe out. What? It's fucking, they hiked out. Hit him in the back and blew his buddy's shoe off. Because they hit him both at the same time. And so I would guess they were probably more trained than I was and whatever they did didn't work. So any more, Frank and I just hunker down and I listen to an audio book. Remy Warren got hit with lightning in high school, if I remember correctly, and I think he lost a sense of smell. No shit. Yeah, something wacky like that. Remember that movie with, what was it? That big dude, the actor where the guy gets hit lightning, he's like, six times. And he's like, oh, you've been hit with lightning six times? He's like, no, 66 times. Remember that shit, John Candy? Yeah. The great outdoors. Well, there's a guy that has been hit like a record number of times. There's one, see if you find that. There's one dude that, for whatever reason, they don't know what they don't, didn't understand it, but he's been hit by lightning multiple times. And it's not because he's looking for it. Like he's a, he's particularly attractive to lightning for some strange reason. I think I'm particularly attracted. How many times? Seven times. Good God. Yeah, come on, man. So Roy Cleveland Sullivan, he died in 1983, United States park ranger in Shenandoah national park in Virginia between 1942 and 1977. Sullivan was hit by lightning on seven different occasions and survived all of them. I would, I would go home and talk to my wife and see if she put some food on. That reminds me of that saying I have, if it was raining pussy, you get hit in the hip with a dick. That guy's bad luck. That is horrible. Seven times. It's crazy. That doesn't even make sense. Yeah. I just, I don't, I just don't worry about it though anymore. What'd you say, Jamie? This one says another guy hit 10 times. 10? Another guy's like, I'll show you pussy. 10 times. Put a fucking metal hat on. Yeah. It's just, I think though you get desensitized to different things and lightning is definitely one where I just kind of hang out in the tent and it cooks you from the inside out. Like being in a microwave. He says man 61 survives being struck by lightning 10 times. Melvin Roberts made headlines in 2011 for being hit six times in one year. Wife said he's been struck another four times. South Carolina man suffered memory loss, headaches, speech problems, and has nerve damage in his hands and leg. Like I don't, I don't, I'm so confused. I don't understand why it keeps hitting them. Let me see what that guy looks like. He looks like a guy's been hit by lightning 10 times. Yeah. Cause usually it'll blow the end of your toes off. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Where it exists. A single lightning strike is made up of several 100 million volts. What the fuck, man? Yeah. We've been on, uh, in lightning strikes where they hit trees close by, it just blows them up and, uh, to shrapnel. It's pretty wild. How does it not kill people? Yeah. That's where it exited the toe. Oh Jesus Christ. Nerve damage in his leg and foot as a result of the lightning strikes. Mm-hmm. That might change your idea. It says Roy Sullivan is the current world record holder and, and then he, uh, he was hit seven times. That guy that we're talking about. He died in 1983 by his own hand. Oh no. That's not good. Yeah. You gotta wonder like what's left after you've been hit seven times. Like your shit must be scrambled. I don't know, man, but those are the things that'll probably get you, you know, like talking about bears is like the last thing I worry about. Light, lightning's a, it's a, that's a real problem. But is there a way to get it to hit something else? Like if you're in your tent, would it hit the tent and not you, or would it just go right through the tent? I think it'd go through the tent. I saw it hit an old growth tree once and blow 180 foot tall tree into pieces. And I'm like, Oh, that did not look appealing. You know, it's a kid. Yeah. And that's not uncommon either. Um, when you get, when you, cause you get, if you have service, you can see where it's going, right? Like the one that passed two years ago, I knew Frank was fucked because he was going by me literally 400 yards and I'm watching cloud to ground and I'm like texting Frank. I'm like, dude, buckle your shit up. It's coming. And it went right in front of me and over Frank and you know, Frank's so funny. He literally called me. He's like, I'm okay, sir. And I'm like, how'd it go? He's like, that was not cool. And he had video of it striking, you know, all around him. But the thing, like he said, is where's he going to go? Cause he's just running into a storm, right? You're not going to outrun it. What do you do? What are you supposed to do? Are you supposed to get into depression and hunker down is what you're supposed to get into a depression, like some sort of a valley. What's it say, Jim? I was reading through, uh, Roy Sullivan's Wikipedia says he got struck two other times once when he was a kid, but it didn't hurt him. So he didn't claim it. And then another time his wife got struck while he was helping her with the clothes, but he didn't get hurt that time either. So I guess he didn't claim that time. Well, is he a fucking alien? Like why would one guy get hit so many times? I'm trying to read what, why it says, but like it does. There's no reasoning why or anything like that. That's so weird. Like what, what about a person's biological makeup? It'd be so different that lightning would be attracted to them. I don't know. He's got some serious static electricity. The thing is like with, um, you know, the more you're out there, epic shit happens. Well, I guess you might not consider it epic, but I mean the more he's a park ranger. Right. That's what I mean. Like you're out there and then you, you know, you think about how much time I'm out there. Crazy shit's going to happen if you're in the woods alive. I mean, there's no, well, the Wolverine. Yeah. So one in a billion chance for that to happen. I mean, that's literally, but the more you're out there, shit's going to happen.
