I do not dry ANYTHING in my small tent. My priority is keeping my sleeping bag dry and I do not want any extra humidity. I wring out wet stuff and put it all in a stuff sack set in the vestibule. Wet shoes also are under the vestibule. Only dry stuff comes inside the tent. I put on wet stuff for hiking - after a few minutes of misery, it gets warm when you walk. If you wear wool and wring it out good, it really is not that bad.

Have you tried hanging the raingear on the inner branches of a tree overnight? I do this often and although it never really dries, it ends up only damp in the morning. If you have the right kind of trees, there are small spots within the tree that never get wet.
