What's the longest you've ever had to go without a shower/bath?

What's the longest you've ever had to go without a shower/bath? I don't remember the exact number of days, but it has to be around 35 for me. I was in the Army and deployed to Albania in 1999. We had no access to real showers for the first month, then it was very limited access after that. All we had was baby wipes and water. It's pretty bad when you stink so much that you start to offend yourself.

About a month on an extended backpacking trip. I felt nasty for a few days, then I got used to it and it didn't bother me any more.

6 or 7 days on a hunting trip. could smell my balls through my clothes. Couldn't imagine going a month.

Less than a week. Maybe 4 days or so

About a week and a half when the distilling plant was OOC. There are about a million things on a sub that take priority over you when it comes to potable water.
Always pack baby wipes.

30 days on several occasions in the Army. After a while you can't smell yourself or your buddies. Pretty disgusting. But that first shower..... So nice.

If you're not going to be showering, Eastern Europe is a good place to be.

8 or 9 weeks. The shower after was very nice.

Probably a week at summer camp as a kid, but you are in and out of the pool all week.
