I just finished a great section from Amicalola, Ga. approach trail to Winding Stair, NC. Ran into approximately 20 SOBO thru hikers/flip floppers on the 11 day 118 mile section. I was heading NOBO and was the only one doing laundry in camp. I am no prude and don't expect not to stink, but I do make an effort to stay clean by taking a pit bath+feet/ bottle shower, and washing my hiking shirt, underwear and socks. I carry two large ziplocks and use one for soap and one to rinse (yes, far from the stream, out of camp, etc). I wash and wring in the evening. Hang overnight out of the dew and then use diaper pins to secure to my pack in the daytime. I find it takes until 4:00 the next day to get things fairly dry. Darn tough medium weight socks take 1.5 days to dry. Temps were 40-60 and naturally the humidity was high. I have a comfortable base weight and carry alternating hiking shirts, alternating shorts and 3 pairs of socks. One thru hiker told me he would be too tired nightly to clean up. There is no sun in the green tunnel when the leaves are on. Is there a trick I am missing to help my clothes dry?
