Hi-MD issue - noise from static charge

Hi all:
I have a noise from static charge issue with my Sony MZ-RH10.  I had
it set up like this: RH10<RollsPB224<RodeNT1As with the RH10 and the
pb224 inside a vinyl drybag.
While in rec/pause, I reached into the drybag to reposition equipment
and could hear through the headphones a static crackle with any
movement of the gear.  This awoke me to the susceptibility of this
setup to static charge.
I experimented with the rh10 and pb224 on the bare grassy ground and
could hear still hear static crackling coming through if I moved the
equipment or connecting cables.  I know a lot of this had to do with
the dry weather where I was, but I'm sure not going to use a
static-prone drybag to protect my gear anymore unless the rain is
really pouring down.

Has anyone suffered from similar static noise issues?
Any ideas for a remedy?

I welcome any suggestions, as I will soon be recording in dry
static-prone mountains again.

-John Hartog
