Fulgurite / Petrified Lightning

Added 2018-08-30 16:06:25 +0000 UTC

IN MY NEXT VIDEO I'm trying to track down the locations of the close lightning strikes featured in my previous video, in the off chance I'll be able to locate a fulgurite. Fulgurites are often referred to as "petrified lightning" and occur when the extreme temperates of lightning fuse sand or soil into glassy tubes or fragments.

ALONG THE WAY we stumble across many other unexpected animals and adventures. After trimming all the video fat, we were able to compress over an hour of footage into 8 minutes of solid spontaneous adventure.

PRIOR TO PATREON I would understandably stress about spending 5 days editing and scoring a package that might only get 50K views / earning $20. That time-to-earnings ratio is a great recipe for bankruptcy. With your support, this edit session was fun.

THUMBNAIL & TITLE... Since we spent all this time editing (and traveling and shooting) it's practical that we spend adequate time to come up with an engaging thumbnail and title to wrangle in clicks. Once I choose the most engaging frame, I'll be ready to upload the new video today. Right now I'm calling it "SCARY CLOSE LIGHTNING ! Crashing All Around Me." And man does this video deliver that.
