throw the wet stuff (not soaking, but damp, rung out, etc.) into the bottom of your bag at night.
will likely be dry by morning.
be warned if you bivy, you'll have more moisture inside than normal.
worked for me and a riding partner down into the 20s after we got wet in the 40s for several hours.
I'll try the sleeping bag method next time. For me it's always been either get it over with now and go to bed in damp wool or wake up and put on damp wool. Wool is always great but dry wool is fantastic.
