| Actually there can be more to this than actual practice. Being prepared for rain means lots of little things that you should have added to your checklist, that you only remember the moment after you drop your binoculars in the mud - things like " Right now, I would sell a kidney for a dry roll of kitchen towel".
My list includes...
Kitchen roll
A waterproof scope/sight cover (plastic bag and an elastic bang)
A large plastic bin liner - multiple uses, including keeping the chair dry.
A spair pair of socks (yes, I know Goretex boots are supposed to be waterproof, but why are my feet gurgling?)
A small Tea Towel - absolutely invaluable for drying things quickly.
A clean damp cloth in a plastic bag - gets the mud off your hands before it gets everywhere else (and I mean eveywhere!).
A flask of tea - even summer rain can chill.
