What's the longest you've gone without showering? (1 Viewer)

Easily weeks. I used to be a crusty punk/prep in college. Showering every day strips me of essential oils, IMO. My skin does not like it.  

 
3 weeks.  While working in the desert just south of death valley.  We did use wet wipes on our nastiest parts but no shower.

I believe the term is whores bath

Not sure ive ever gone a full week since I hit puberty but probably 4-5 days max

I'll often skip weekend showers if we don't have any plans :shrug:

 
3 weeks during a military field exercise.  We had some wet wipes and poured bottled water over our heads occasionally.  We #### in holes too.  What a fun time...

 
I worked as a forest firefighter after my freshman and sophomore years in college.  I was at several fires that would last 2+ weeks (was at one for a month) and wouldn't have access to a shower during that time.  Usually just threw away everything that wasn't my outer uniform.

5 days for Bivouac (basic training) in 1981.

About 10 days after a car accident in 1976 in which I almost died (was in a coma for the first 7 of the days).

5 days just recently for recovery from spinal surgery.

Yeah, I would say so. Probably two weeks was my limit. Just didn't shower very much in school one year that I was into crust. Still hate showering every day. My skin rebels at the deed.

How do you talk a woman into sucking your nasty ####?

 
Maybe a little over two days?  I don't think I've ever made it 3.  Couldn't even fall asleep if I was that nasty.  I sweat like a freaking pig.

Not intrigued by the lack of shower time but your summer occupation. How did you land that gig? Was it for the $ or did you have aspirations to become a firefighter? Pay well?

Had some friends that worked for BLM and I applied.  Actually got hired as a forestry tech (walk around in forests and measure tree densities/size/etc and map roads) and then when there was a nearby fire my boss let me go join the fire crew.  No aspirations, just a summer job to pay for college.  It was awesome.  I got to drive a brand new F150 sport with an ATV in the back.  Would take my dog to some of the areas and spend 3-4 nights out and then come back to the office to do reports/etc.  Paid very well.  Base pay (12/hour) + overtime (on fires you would typically work 6 am to 12 pm for two straight weeks or more) + night differential (+10% during night hours) + hazard (25%) + per diem. 

 
I rode my bike across Europe in the fall of 1992.  I had little money and camped every night.  It was a rainy fall in Germany and France and we got rained on for 30 something days straight.  With the constant rain our clothes and gear never dried and started to mold.  There is a picture floating around somewhere of me buck naked under a small waterfall trying to get the stank off of me.  That was the closest I came to showering in a month.  I tell ya that first hot shower felt glorious.

 
had a job early in my career with a "starchitect" who was known for running a slave pit of despair for an office. we'd have guys show up for their first day of work and just not come back from lunch. it was awful (even though the projects were really cool).

I'd regularly go 48-72hrs straight at the office before returning home... I'd do the same in gradschool. so that's pretty much where I'm at in regards to non-showering (other than camping or sailing for a week at a time).

 
When I was in Army easily a month in the field.  Took a daily whore's bath.   

Edit to add

When I was in Somalia it was well over 6 weeks before the Air Force showed up and put in showers.  Up until that time we had no bathing areas.   Nuts, and pits, nuts and pits.   Brush your teeth.    Pretty much that was it for a long time.

could you smell yourself? or the other guys? or did the stank just disappear?

 
I spent 8 days in the Black Hills deer hunting. We fashioned a gravity shower and put it to use mid way through. Luckily it was November, so there wasn't a lot of sweating going on. But it was probably 10 degrees outside. No doddling once the water ran out. 

 
I love taking showers.  I shower every day, except for the couple of days I went camping and white water rafting.  Otherwise I almost always have access to a shower and in that case I shower every day.  The last time I went more than a few days without a shower was as a child.

 
I don't understand the non showering if you have access....Nothing more refreshing than a nice cool shower...Do any of you non shower folks live in Florida?
