Lightning rod for a yurt in an open field?

[Bob Rowlands]

UK, me and two buddies were climbing 2 of the 54 14,000 foot peaks here in CO back in about 1992. We got caught in an electrical storm a couple hundred yards from the summit of Mt. Tabeguache, all rock and no place to hide up there. Several lightning strikes hit so close there was no lag in sound. Hair standing straight out and pack frame singing. Rocks had blue crackling light spidering across them. Absolutely terrifying.

Thanks for comments on grounding your yurts guys.
