[Philmont]: "Boot Garages"

FWIW, each of our Crew members brings a "boot garage", usually a plastic
bag that our annual telephone books came in, to place their boots in
overnight, right outside the tent flap. A short stick is placed upright
between the two boots to raise the plastic well above the boots - this
allows them to ventilate all night, yet stay protected in case of rain.
  If you don't do this, they will stay moist from condensate, especially
if the plastic is twisted or tucked shut. The bag also is a convenient
place for camp-shoes while hiking.
