In the taiga winter there is no such place in the military. If just left outside and no snow fall it'll take some days before the clothes would be dry or at least dryer.leave my clothes somewhere dry
Why, it should work even when cold. Actually we were told not to take AKs into the warm tent (if we had one) condensation and after that ice caused some funny situations like solidly frozen gas pistons. Not so funny if it had been war time.keep my uzi warm within the sleepingbag
In the winter a stove warmed tent has very high humidity because of the snow floor and everybody trying to dry equipment. Take a gun in from -35C to +20C and 90% humidity the gun is almost instantly thoroughly wet.
