Towels

Yup, that's right people: Towels!

Always know where your towel's at, because you wouldn't want to go anywhere without your wonderful towel.

 

The obvious function of the towel is to dry stuff. Simply dragging the towel to a wet or damp item will dry the item instantly and yes, I know you can wring out clothing but that only dries it down to damp and you're still left with the player's wetness level.

Additionally, the towel's best use is to dry the player him/herself. I'm sure that many of you who've been stuck in the rain can easily change their clothing and still retain the "Soaking", "Wet" or "Damp" which will persist to affect the character until it either stops raining for a long duration or you sit around a fire for fair while.

So basically, it's a repair kit for being wet.

You should be able to use rags for this too, don't you think?

So long as the towel gets wetter with more use & becomes less effective as it becomes more water logged, it's a good idea.

 

Would also like to second the post above - rags should be able to do this, as well as bandages in case you have a surplus.
