We used FRS radios for local communications at the recent SSTIKS event.
I left one of my radios in a radio drybag on a picnic table during one
of the demonstrations.  It baked in the drybag.  :(

While drybags are an answer to the wetness problem, they're also tiny
greenhouses, and could potentially create a temperature problem.
