I use one of these. Big enough for loads of gear/ammo for several rifles, lunch, drinks/flasks, clothing etc. Plus its waterproof, you can use it as a seat (good height for sitting on if needed), and its also on wheels which means if you are carrying a lot of kit, you can put everything in here and drag it and only have to worry about carrying your rifle case in addition.

It seems to be fully waterproofed on the base. I don't think that would be an issue.
You could always make doubly sure and line the bottom of the inside with something waterproof or absobent to keep away the moisture, but I think it would stand up on it's own :)
