Fogging is a pain in the butt. The best way to not fog your lens is to allow it to slowly adjust to whatever temperature you're going to be shooting at. This is not as easy as it sounds, nor is it convenient. You may want to keep the camera gear in the trunk, as it will be warmer there. You may want to also ditch the Haliburton case, those are pretty air-tight (and it's like putting up a sign that says "Look, expensive case holding even more expensive stuff, come rob me!") Get a regular camera bag made of breathable fabric. My personal favorites are the Domke bags, but the other brands have some very nice features as well. Condensation on the inside of the camera is even worse, not just because of the electrical parts, but because of the film. If you get condensation on the film, you'll have some very strange looking photos, and you can damage your shutter. Finally, pick up some small packages of dessicant. Photo stores carry them or you can easily find them in products that you buy.
