Another clothing question......

I can't imagine that the clothes dried too fast on the chilly, cloudy mountain, so maybe it had to be a few days later?

Actually, seriously, you do touch on something here that others of us have wondered and speculated about: the passage of time between their first time in the tent, the "I'm not queer" conversation, and the second time that we see them in the tent.
It's tempting to assume the second tent scene took place on the evening of the day of the "I'm not queer" conversation--and maybe we're supposed to assume those two events took place on the same day--but when they have that conversation, it looks like a very dreary and cold and probably damp afternoon--they both have their gloves on, and Jack has that fleece-lined jacket of his buttoned up to his chin.
But the night of the second tent scene, it looks to me like the weather is downright warm. Jack is shirtless in the tent, and Ennis is out by the fire without his coat. It can't just be that the fire is warm enough; they have a fire the night of the first tent scene, but before they try to sleep, they're all bundled up. Ennis has his coat on, and Jack's wearing his jacket even in the bedroll.
Maybe the weather just changes awful quick up there on Brokeback. ???

Your right, I truy wonder what happened between 'me neither' and TS2, I didnt think of a time lapse there but it makes sense there would be like you said. I also wonder how they acted with each other and what they said,, but I imagine that they couldn't speak...
Also between TS1 and 'I aint queer' Ennis had to kill the coyote and get the tail hanging up, that's a lot to happen in one day, I like to think that maybe Ennis was up there for a couple of days, just brooding and thinking, and that is why Jack went up to him, because he couldn't wait longer to find out what Ennis was thinking afterwaiting for several days....

Ennis killed the coyote much earlier, perhaps it was the one he spoke of when he began to wash up.
