Rainy day tips?

Bob cat, I have a hunter orange mesh jersey with velcro in front.  It fits over all my big jackets and it only wieghs a few ounces.  I keep it in my pack always  A little extra orange never hurts  .  Super cheap too. less than ten bucks!

As part of my prep for hunting season, I wash ALL my camo in sport wash (rinses clean, no odor, no U.V.)  I treat All my camo with U.V. blocker. (to make sure of no U.V.)
Then I spray it with Camp Dry (a pure silicone product, and odorless when dry)
My regular hunting clothes stay dry enough to hunt in and in the evening I change into dry gear.
zip-lock bags for T.P. and license/tags and spare socks.

Got home this afternoon. Been gone almost solid since the day before elk started. Came home for a shower and my son's birthday last weekend. I spent every one of those day's wearing rain gear....all day, every day. We had late buck tags for the Wind River too. Here's my standard set up when it's raining and/or snowing. I have a set of medium weight fleece pants that I wear under my Gore Tex pants. These are the ones with tapered legs. Up top I wear long john tops, either polypropylene or wool with a wool or fleece shirt. If it's chilly I will wear a light vest too. Over this goes my hooded Gore Tex jacket. I say hooded because for so many years I never would use the hood, only wearing a hat so I could hear better. And I always ended up with water dripping down my neck and getting my shoulders wet. No more !! On my feet there are a set of polypropylene sock liners with a wool blend sock over that. Boots are Danners. Hands see wool or fleece gloves and I will carry an extra pair or two in zip lock bags in my pack to change out as needed. I stay pretty dry.... except the water seeping between my gloves and jacket cuff. This gets my shirts wet along my forearms and it's not a comfortable feeling. I just deal with it.
