[Philmont]: Sock Dryer

I found this on backpacker.com and have never heard of doing this. Has
anyone ever tried it?

"Bring two half-liter bottles.
Not just for water, but for drying socks at night. You'll want the narrow,
Lexan type because you're going to fill them with boiling water and roll
your wrung-out socks over them. The odors unleashed might make a skunk gag,
but by morning your socks will be dry."

If it works it might be a smart way to have dry feet if caught on a trek
with lots of rain.

Thanks,

Jim Williams
