I'm concerned you'll lose the Faraday effect and then your watery meatsack is fair game as a ground path for the lightning.
HK-47, is that you?

When you're camping in your truck on the side of a mountain above the treeline at 12,000 feet, you think about it a lot more.
very true, definitely something to keep in mind and set up camp accordingly. A huge chunk of metal sitting there exposed probably looks like a great target to a lightning bolt.

I've never heard of this ever happening to anybody, but it would not surprise me. Tahoe area can have some nasty storms showing up out of nowhere.
