Re: Request for advice on recording equipment to take to a rain fore

Thanks Oryoki and Scott,

I had wondered whether a stealth approach might be better (but really do
not like compromising sound quality, within reason), and had considered
only taking the small microphones and leaving the better ones and the
blimp behind.  Will probably end up taking everything, and just see how
it goes (will share the outcome, whatever I decide).

As a complete newbie, my outstanding questions are:

 - if externally polarized microphones fail under these conditions, do
they recover when you dry them out?
 - are RF polarized mics completely resilient under such conditions, or
just better?  
 - what should I be taking with me to ensure that I will have something
that works (as an amateur)?
