  • pull-on or zip up tingley hi-top rubber boots over shoes (botton of pants over top of boots)
  • trunk bag wrapped in thick trash compactor bag

whatever gloves I was using were just left to dry for a cpl days. always kept extras cuz waterproof gloves might be a myth. I do have a water proof glove shell overglove & like separate glove liners which help keep my fingers warm & dry(er)
