and its not so expensive to buy raingear in sweden, there are shops like Ö&B that also sells military surplus raingear.

the hardest thing to do is to ask on the forum how you can get it.....

buy here, leave it here.....no extra weight..

In case of rain:
-Dig a trench around your tent.

-Cover your tent with a tarp.
-If possible bring an oven to heat your tent. Then it stays dry.
-Bring a goretex uniform, poncho, or other raingear.
-Put your sleepingbag inside a goretex bivybag.
-Polish your boots throughly before and during the game.
-Use Sealskinz socks.
-Bring spare clothing/uniform.
-Put everything that needs to stay dry inside a plastick bag. And then wrap another plastic bag around it.

Put everything that needs to stay dry inside a plastick bag. And then wrap another plastic bag around it.

Just to add to this -when doing your pre-game shopping, get yourself two rolls of refuse plastic bags - a smaller and a bigger one. If it rains you can put your gun in one of these in order to save the electronics and the electric circuit from getting wet. Worked for me perfectly looong time ago(the rifle I was wearing by that time was shooting 7.62x39, not 6 mm. bb and had no electric motor, but rusted just fine). Larger ones(get the biggest ones available, preferably ones that are designed for garden waste, for some reason they usually make them ticker) can be used to keep your gear, spare clothes, food, etc. dry.
A word of caution - NEVER put anything wet in the plastic bags, or be prepared to buy yourself a new piece of clothing.

Another thing to consider - Buy goretex lined shoes! I myself bought Belleville 690 USAF shoes - lined with goretex and didn't receive even one drop of water into my shoes (*and we got to walk in knee deep swamps...)

if you want to go further - goretex trousers tucked snuggly into goretex shoes offer 100% water proofing to your legs and extra heating for your nads ;o)

if it is raining just go to block post and be on duty.

and wait some hours until the change team will come:

and later you will be near your friend near the fire and you can dry your clothes:

Rule 1: Willpower. Get it or go home. No matter the precautions, you WILL have some problems with the weather. The only surefire remedy to that is keeping high morale and making the very best of what you have. It's raining cats and dogs? Pretend you're in Nam'...

Rich people pay tons of cash for these experiences, we just have to seize them.
