There’s a lot more to be done if your rig is going to sit for several months at temperatures below freezing.

The rules of thumb:

• If it contains water - take it out
• If it will attract rodents - take it out
• If it has an expiration date - take it out
• If you’re not sure - take it out. Think - Do I want to replace this item or clean it up if it does not survive the winter?
