How to avoid condensation on equipment at night?

Offline
#1 slabkoff
Very often I shot at night for many hours. One of the biggest problems that I have, is condensation, especially in the summertime. I recently shot in the desert, only to find the next morning my camera and tripod were covered in water. Does anybody know how to shoot at night for at least 2 to 6 hours  without getting the equipment covered with morning dew?  I'm guessing you have to either heat or cool the equipment (lens barrel) so condensation does not form. Anyone have an idea on how to do this? When shooting these night TL sequences, I do not generally have access to power. So this may be more of a trick than I realize.

We already had this topic a couple of time (using the search feature often is a good idea)
