How should we keep our clothes dry? printer.gif

Since we've entered the cloud forest, the weather has gotten much wetter. Since we are in the mountains, the weather has also gotten significantly colder. For the past two days, when we've gotten to our destination, we've been soaked by rain and mist. The places we're staying do not have dryers, and since it's raining outside, we haven't had much luck drying out our clothes. The worst is having to put wet clothes, shoes, and socks in the morning. Can you think of any ways we could dry our clothes after we finish pedaling for the day?

Build a fire and drape the wet clothing over it so it can dry or turn the stove on and hang them in front of it to dry up some of the moisture.

You can hide your cloths under a bush.

if u were staying at a hotel u could put your close over the heater and switch the close every onece and a wile

leave your clothes under your hammock while you sleep or put them in the corner of your tent druing the night

you could put up your tents by a tree and hand a rope or something and tie it to the tree and the tent. then the clothes wont be so wet.

You could put your clothes on something or hang it to dry for awhile.

You should just buy ponchoes and then you can keep your clothes dry without a dryer!!!!

you should use a fire as long as you don't put them literally on the fire

ring your clothes out

you should put rain coats on and every night put the shoes over the heating vents and i know that it works because here i do it and it works so you should try that

Hang your clothes in a dry area inside a house and blow dry them or turn a fan on or turn on a heater of some kind.

Come back to the United States and buy a dryer.

Wear a rain poncho and something waterproof to cover your shoes. Put things by a fire at night to help them dry out.

sleep with them on

you sould twist the cloth and then put it up to the sun.

you should buy rain coats to keep your clothes dry

You should have ponchos to keep you dry.

put on a garbage bag poncho

first you should squeeze the extra water so it can dry faster and then shake it out to get the extra water out. Then I suppose you could lay it out to dry the rest of the way.
