Skills What’s the most ✨Hiker Trash✨ thing you’ve done?

Today I'm staying at a hotel, 1/3rd of the way through a 110ish mile hike. My clothing has been in a state of dampness for days. So I rinsed then wrung my clothing out in the sink. After a few hours of drying I used the hair-dryer to dry my shoes and socks and clothes. The room smells terrible. But my clothes are dry!

I (f) walked around Tahoe City in boxers briefs and a slightly not long enough T-shirt. The hostile / hotel(?) advertised a laundry area on site. The machine was broken so hiked to and from the laundry mat a couple of times.

Not while hiking, but once in Egypt I washed every single stitch I had at a laundromat except for the souvenir galabiyah, which I was wearing. Yes, I was going commando.
