Yes, and consider using an external warm battery kept under your outer
clothing for prolonged use outside.

Take poly bags to seal up cold mics and recorders and cameras before taking=

them into the warm to prevent condensation.

Silica gel will keep dry things dry if sealed up but it will absorb very
little moisture and is not easy to regenerate. I sometimes use natural
woollen cloth ironed dry till it stops steaming then cooled off in a sealed=

poly bag.
