Use marine handheld radio waterproof bags like this:

Amazon.com : SE - Pouch Set - Plastic, Waterproof, Hook & Loop Closure, 3 Pc - TP126-3 : Boating Dry Bags : Sports & Outdoors

Get a large size waterproof sack for all the rest of your stuff.

That campstove that turns fire into USB power is the coolest thing I've seen all day. The MVP is a good idea however for a higher mAH battery you'll probably find that it's not going to keep you going for days most likely. When I first bought my hana I took it to a friend's for an afternoon to vape and charge the battery off my MVP, for a VTC 5 that came at maybe 20% charge and an MVP reading 4.1v while vaping it took it from ~20% to 80% in a few hours, but that completely drained the MVP to the shutoff point. So extra batteries or some of the charging solutions here would be a better idea, since an MVP is going to probably charge 1-2 18650s for you depending on usage.

Thanks so much for the advice, everyone!

I was able to get a 4 pack of 18650's (with a little case) for my SID (less than $30), from Amazon and they were delivered this morning along with a 3 pack of the water-sand proof bags. Add two fully charged vision spinners - and I think I should be able to stay charged and worry free, through a weekend kayaking/camping trip. Tanks, coils and juice was the easy stuff.

Thanks again!
