What should I be looking for then for gear that doesn't need a lot of heat or high winds to dry. Call it a lack of experience or knowledge but I've never really thought that it was possible to arrive at camp wet and be able to get dry without a fire. I'm assuming base layers would be the start. How fast can some of these items dry out? I'm assuming a clothes line of sorts is involved? I've been camping in sideways rain with trees falling around me so I know how hard it can be to stay dry.
