Over the next few months, our outdoor adventure trips are going to get colder – and wetter. How we react to this will have a large impact on the overall enjoyment.

Use the sun to dry your gear

If it’s been raining but then the sun appears, you may think ‘great – let’s get to our destination before it starts again’, but it may be more effective for you to use this time to try and dry out some of your gear. If you’re expecting more rain very soon, then there may not be much point! It’s also advisable that you dry out your gear before you pack it into your rucksack.

Look after your feet

You’ll have been on your feet for an extended period of time by the time you finally take a break, so taking care of your feet should be one of, if not the main, priority.

Take your walking shoes or boots off, give them time to be free and to recover. Let your footwear – including your socks – dry off, which will make them much more comfortable when you put them back on again.

A campfire can help clothes dry faster

If you are in the position to, you can set up a mini campfire which will definitely help to dry and warm up your clothes – as well as yourself. Don’t leave anything too close to it though!

Dry clothes out whilst you cook

Taking some time out to cook and eat a meal will not only provide you with more energy to continue on with your trip, but will also extend the amount of time for your clothes to dry. The campfire from the last point can have multiple uses!

Take every opportunity

Extending the amount of time that you have available to dry your belongings can be very beneficial, so make sure you take advantage of it at every opportunity. Whether you’re just packing, cleaning up or admiring a view – take every chance you get.
