RE: [Philmont] - philmont Digest - V01 #1182

I'm afraid THAT would be considered a "smellable".

Seriously, there are no "down sides" to it. The water would not need to
be purified and would be OK to drink afterward, so no waste. It would
use fuel. It just seems like a lot of trouble when, if you have brought
sufficient socks, and unless you have zero chance to dry wet ones by
hanging them on a pack / line to dry, it's better to just don a pair of
clean dry ones.

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,
