I line dry in all sorts of weather over here.

Esther, when we lived up north, I used to hang sheets and towels out, and let them freeze. Getting the sheets through the door was interesting, but they and the towels did "freeze dry". Don't do that anymore here in Texas!

In the summer I use a sun oven- just need a sunny place to park it.

Have used it for baking, cooking stews and roasts, all sorts of fun.

I could probably use it on a cold sunny day but am too lazy to drag it outside.

This is the one I have- you could also make one fairly cheaply. I made a small one just as an experiment before taking the plunge and buying mine.

How fascinating. I've never heard of a sun oven. I should get out more obviously!!!! Probably work well here and our house is unbearable in summer to cook in.
It's a late barbie or go hungry.
I'll look into it. Thanks CanadianLori.

Now that really is amazing!!! I only use my dryer when it's raining heavily or what I think is too cold. I obviously don't know the meaning of cold.

Iron? My husband has two shirts that need a touch up with the iron. They're for weddings and funerals only!

I'm nearly with you on the ironing. I'm very slack nowadays. Since I started gardening being indoors seems so wrong. I iron when I'm stuck inside due to bad weather. My husband feels like he's got a brand new wardrobe when it rains.

This is the people I actually bought mine from. If I had to do it again, I would not order the one with the added cookware. It would be less expensive to simply buy the enamelware at a local camp supply.

no ironing shirts never, off to the laundry they go, and picked up all done. I work outside of the home 40 +++ hours and then the gardens.

LOL I love those jeans in the snow!
One tip (if you don't mind the smell of vinegar) is to put some in the final rinse. Helps soften up the laundry for air-drying.

It actually does dry. Snow like that is really dry, it is not melting.
