salty, sorry to sidetrack but, you mentioned Faraday protection. I read this
Some linemen wear Faraday suits, which allows them to work on live, high voltage power lines without risk of electrocution. These suits work because they are not grounded. The suit prevents electrical current from flowing through the body, and have no theoretical voltage limits, as linemen have successfully worked even the highest voltage (Russian 1150 kV) lines safely.
No way to do this while hiking on the trail, or being in the hut, but I guess the closest one could get would be to follow usual lightning advice and to lower your profile by kneeling on your (hopefully dry) non-conductive mat, thus also limiting being grounded (maybe). But, then there is EMP and no matter what you do, you're dead. There is some interesting physics and of course disastrous and sad biology here.
