What is the best thing to put in with carrots to dry store them? Dry soil? Sawdust? Sand? Anything else?

Damp sand is best.
If you use anything dry it will desicate them.
Soil could have pests & disease present, sawdust would start to "compost" so Sand is best as it's inert & easier to steralise year after year.
You can also store root veg in a clamp (search the vine as it was discussed earlier I think it was either Snadger or DDL)ntg
Never be afraid to try something new.

Toyed with idea of clamping beetroot as I am running out of space in shed!

Gee - wish I had gotten something to store!!! First year veggie growing and we ate anything that didn't get eaten by the bugs!! Next year I will take more precautions. Don't have any idea what ate them - no sign of critters that I could see anywhere - just the leaves all disappeared overnight!
Been fun learning though. The spuds were good - even if the leaves got eaten eventually!!! Will grow more of them next year!
Tomatoes also successful and now have chilis ripening - they look like being the only thing I get to store for the winter!Happy Gardening,
Shirley
