[pct-l] SOCKS

[Tortoise]

Hi All,

Going beyond what Andrea says, I recommend rinsing and rinsing your trail 
clothes until the clothes stop turning the water muddy. Reason -- take out 
as much dirt as you can before the washing so the detergent has a lot less 
dirt to deal with and your clothes will come out cleaner (notice I didn't 
say "clean").
