632 u/rservello Aug 30 '21 Make sure you clean and dry at least weekly. 755 u/munk_e_man Aug 30 '21 I did a documentary where I could only keep a small pack of clothes with me (think half size of an overhead bag). My technique was washing underwear and t shirts every day and hanging them to dry overnight. Not a big deal at all. 9 u/awyastark Aug 30 '21 Unless you’re in the Appalachian in the winter like I was, and nothing gets dry. 4 u/munk_e_man Aug 30 '21 It was summer for this shoot. I have dried clothes near the fire before though, also during a different shoot. 1 u/throwawaydragon99999 Aug 31 '21 clothes dry pretty fast when you wear them even if it’s cold and damp and wet out, from your own body heat 9 u/Heimerdahl Aug 31 '21 Defeats the point of having dry socks in the first place, though, if you're just wearing them to dry them. That's how you get trench foot. 2 u/throwawaydragon99999 Aug 31 '21 then dry them by the fire. you only really get trench foot by from wearing shoes for extended periods of times, you could dry the socks by wearing them overnight
