Clotheslines in tents ?
Original post
Thumbs up to Choice TV ! :) Last night's "NZ Hunters Adventures" had Dad & Son bugling Wapati on the Fiordland Tops.

Rained of course, so they spent a day in the tent. 2 people in a 2-man tent on a rainy day. First thing, they put up a couple of clotheslines inside the tent.
. Wouldn't have thought much would dry in those circumstances ?. Makes a bit of space tho.
Anybody else put clotheslines inside tents ?.
Or was it 3 people in a 3-man tent??? Don't forget the poor camera man
Sam "The Camera Man" appears in the Season 2 finale. The ending of that episode caused a little stir on the FishnHunt forum.
Clothesline in a small tent sounds a bit scary!If the clothes are wet,your sleeping bag will cop it.My experience is off with the wet stuff(& stow them anywhere but in your sleeping space) & into your bag,and put `em on wet in the morning.That`s why a vestibule is good in a tent;you need to keep the inner as dry as possible,especially in winter,as there is no drying.My pennys` worth..
Yes, it might work in a continental climate but I'm sure it wouldn't here. Frank tells a story of a CTC trip that went to do the Karangahua/Landsborough and ended up spending several days in a hut in the rain. There was so much stuff hanging up to dry that the sleeping bags etc. got mildew.
Doesn't work. Spent pretty much 3 months in a tent last year. Keep wet stuff out of the sleeping area. Period. For all the reasons mentioned above.
In a hut? Sure; if it doesn't have a verandah. In a big tent that has separate compartments? Yeah, why not.
But in a single-space tent, I personally recommend don't even bother. More stuff will get wet before anything gets dry.
In Australia putting wet pants/socks on the poles between inner and rain fly would make them partially dry in the morning if it wasn't raining all night. In NZ, tried the same thing: it was even more wet than before as the rain fly was wet from the condensation and humid air.
