Hmmm, 
I know when my failed it wasn't due to vapor as we were only on the water for a couple of hours. I actually purchased a cheap dry bag when
I bought the radio (one of those $7 jobs) and am keeping the radio in that
for now. What dry bags for radios (or specifically the M1) do people recommend?

On another completely unrelated note. I stopped at Rutabaga on the way
back from Chicago and purchased a Trangia 27 stove with non-stick
pots. Boy, I am hooked, this thing is great.  Who knew one could get
so excited about a stove.
