My partner and I are going wild camping for the first time in the Pyrenees and we’re a bit concerned about the medium level risk thunderstorms in that region next weekend. I read that the aluminum tent and trekking poles can be a risk.

I’m wondering if anyone has any experience in this region with thunderstorms and can give any advice/reassurance.

Also I keep reading conflicting temperature predictions above 2000m. Our sleep system is currently a 5C comfort sleeping bag, 5,4R pad, and wool undergarments. We’re considering upgrading to 0C but it’s much bigger/expensive

Also we’re going to be wearing breathable trail runners but with a good chance of rain in the afternoons and cold temperatures at night we’re wondering if it might be better to wear waterproof boots.
