I have found a lot of conversation on this group useful and interesting, thanks,

I am a low end nature recorder.   I have a sony minidisc, lavalier mics and ear 
buds for headphones that all fit in a small waterproof tuperware container that 
I have in my pack.

I was in camp in Botswanna (I'm coming to the wind screen part) when birds 
started making wonderful chatter in a nearby tree.   I started to record but 
the wind was making a mess of my recording.   So I took off my hiking socks and 
turned them inside out (fuzzy side out) and hung the mics in the socks.   
Worked great (well for my level of quality).  I thought you all might find this 
story of desperate lowend solutions amusing. 

cheers,
