So do you pro's have any advice have any tips on prepping my kits for winter and cold conditions?anything i should add?take out?anything i should know?etc..any comments be nice. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

also how should i prep my kit for water conditions? i saw a certain tv show where someone fell in a river and it made me think"o crap the majority of stuff in my bag would be soaked"
is there a way to prevent this?cause my bob isnt waterproof, i have the very important things in tight ziplock bags(alot of my kit is in ziplock bags except a few things). i also have a extra heavy duty giant and i mean giant bag(not a trash bag) by zip lock that could fit my whole bob in it(there called zip lock xxl big bag),but i would just hate to take everything out in case of getting wet and let it all dry cause that be a real pain in the butt.i thought about getting one of those dry sack bags that river rafters use to keep stuff dry and make a new kit from that and add a strap to make it a sort of sling bag.good idea?bad?
any ideas on waterproofing would be very helpful also. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
