Default In the dryer???

Do you put your hunting clothes in the dryer after washing them in your scent free stuff? If not, how do you dry them when the weather is cold, rain/snow, and just plain miserable?
It seems to me that you can't hang them in the garage or basement, and outside is wetter than the clothes themselves.
What do you do?

only as a last resort. If I do I use those dirt scent dryer sheets and then hang them in the barn for a couple days.

turtleshell, maybe you can get away with wearing wet clothes in N.C., but here with temps in the 20's and wind chills in the teens, I'm not going out in wet clothes. It is supposed to be snowing here by 6 PM.

I dry mine in the dryer, then hang them outside for 24 hrs, then into a scent free bag until I use them again

I dry in the dryer after washing in scent free soap, but try to be careful not to overdry, and would prefer a little less than fully dried when removed.

I dont like to dry things, even my dress shirts. I just dont like how they feel afterwards.
I have Warp Knit (aka Wolfskin) everything, and it doesnt like the dryer. I wash them in scent free, then hang them outside. If it is damp, then they get hung in my cabin, then get nailed with a thick coating of earth scent.
After that, it is into a contractors bag with a earth scent wafer.

I wash mine in Scent-free......dry in the dryer with earth scent sheets.....

I wash my clothes after I wear them EACH TIME. I don't have enough camo or warm days to dry things outside EVERY DAY.

Yep, and I wash them in regular detergent with my other laundry too. I've gotten a deer every year I've hunted, so has hubby (except last year, but that's because he was always to lazy to get out of bed).

Hubby used to go to the local apple orchard and ask if he could take the fallen apples. They said sure... he used to fill a cooler up with apples and throw his clothes in it the night before he hunted.
