You could use desiccant, aka silica gel. This is the stuff that is in those
little bags found inside packaged electronics.
I checked the following site briefly (Google found it - and a "zillion"
others). This place probably isn't where you need to purchase the SMALL
quantity you'd need, but it's a place to start.

Congratulations and good luck!

On that note - be CAREFUL about taking the camera outside from inside. Best
to insulate the camera, some say in an air-tight plastic baggy, until it
assumes outside temperature. Else you could end up with condensation in the
lens, other parts of the camera, leading to fungus and sadness.
Don't store the camera by hanging it from the shoulder strap in the shower.

That must be for the privilege of not being connected to any other grids.
Maybe you guys should figure a way to harness all that volcano energy.

They do in Iceland (Geothermal). Hydro+GeoTherm (renewables) total 70%
of Iceland's energy needs. However, as 72% of the energy use is heating
buildings/homes, the heat can be used almost directly (via heat
exchangers) and not require very expensive capital installations.
Iceland has hundreds of hot springs making this easy (87% of
homes/buildings heat is GeoT). No need to heat much in Hawaii.

they even melt the snow on the streets with hot water pipes... not a
Hawaii problem!]
Hawaii (where 90% of energy is from imported oil) has experimented with
ammonia driven turbines which take advantage of the difference in
temperature between surface and deep water.

Cool!
> No need to heat much in Hawaii.
Well, if they could super-heat some water they could use the high pressure
steam to turn a turbine and from there the posibilities are endless.

Wow. Never heard of this before. Interesting.

The heat engine thing never really worked out, it was tried about 5
miles from here the beach there is still known as OTEC. The facility
is still in operation however but they mainly use the cold deep water
to fill huge tanks that they grow cold water sea food in, I am not sure
what all they grow but I know there are lobsters there.
We do have a number of windmills and most people use solar heat for
there hot water. Geothermal has been used a bit for such things as
drying fruit.
The good news is that you don't tend to use much energy here, except
for houses that are high in elevation houses here don't have heat and
very few have air conditioning.

The heat is usually not transferred via heat exchangers, the hot
groundwater goes via pipes from the drilling area (the hot springs are
not used)
The whole system needs considerable infrastructure (the pipes can be
tens of kilometers in length.)
