    How often do you wash your clothing and gear?

    What do you expect from a Girl!? Howdy! I wash my stuff all the time! I hike/trailrun lots and wash my sneaks every time w/ SOAP! The dirt / grime wears them down and they stink. I dry them really well by putting them near the woodstove or in the sunshine. I was my clothing everytime also...
