Rain Gear: Preparing for a rainy deployment
Waterproofing your gear storage:
Duct tape, compactor bags and freezer ziplock bags (quart and gallon size) are your budget's best friends. Bring extras of each.
Compactor bags make good backpack liners, rain ponchos, and rain kilts. Ziplock bags are great for storing items like your wallet, phone, etc. You can even put your radio/walkie talkie in a ziplock bag, seal it. Add a band or two of duct tape to make the shape more manageable.
What about keep yourself dry?
No matter claims of "waterproof", water will find it's way into your clothes given enough time and rain. There is also the matter of "sweating out". That is, getting covered in sweat underneath your rain gear. Water is water. Both sweat and rain can lead to hypothermia. You can extend the amount of time before you wet out by getting a jacket with "pit zips", and wearing something like a rain kilt (more ventilation) rather than rain pants.
Always remember, "if you can't stay dry, plan to stay warm":
Rule number 1: Try to avoid cotton. It soaks up water, takes forever to dry, and chafes horribly. That moisture leaches your body of heat. Various synthetic fabrics can help you stay warm, even when wet. Whereas feather Down will not. Even Down treated with DWR water-proofing, is not what you want for working in the rain. A great natural fiber for bad weather is wool. If it makes you itchy, try for a wool type with a smaller diameter fiber. Unless you have some other allergy to wool, smaller finer wool fibers will clear up itchiness for most people.
Wool is expensive. If you decide to go that route but are short on money, check second hand clothing stores. Be willing to patch clothes with holes for the really big discounts. (Key search words: Deadstock. Seconds. Damaged.) And regularly search for big online sales. If all you can find is the itchy stuff, keep it from touching your skin. Wear it over a more comfortable fabric.
Your boots, whether you're wearing rain pants, rain kilt, or rain poncho, your boots will get wet. If you can't dry your boots, dry your feet. Take them out of your boots during breaks, dry them off, and put on dry socks. (Always carry at least 1 extra pair of socks. Wool if possible.) There is this really horrible thing that happens to feet that stay wet for too long. It's called Trench foot. While it usually takes 2-3 days, trench foot can develop in less than a day (10hrs).
Always carry a dry change of socks in a water proof bag. (I carry mine in a ziplock bag.)
Eat Food & Hydrate:
Stay warm by giving your body fuel. Aka, calorie-dense foods. Also, stay hydrated. Keep an electrolyte supplement in your kit. Staying fueled and hydrated helps you keep warm and fights hypothermia.
