Pardon me asking Ken, but what is a lightning detector exactly? I mean I get the principal behind it (it obviously detects lightning)but I have honestly never heard of that. How big? how does it work? Lightning must be a real concern in your neck of the woods.
I never warmed up to the things on my zipper idea either, with the exception of a small knife (outdoor edge brand I think) which is real handy pinned to the zipper of my life vest when kayaking.
Its a pretty cool little device that not only can tell you when lightening is a real threat - which is a big issue when camping without grounded shelters - but it can also tell you whether the lightening strikes are "coming" or "going". That is pretty cool.
