What is the longest you've gone without showering/bathing?

1 full week for me.

Long time ago, Went hiking/camping in the Adirondacks for a week. Hiking each day. Camping with nothing more than a rope and a plastic tarp as a tent. No wet wipes. No other products to clean with. Washed dishes with dirt and water. Had a massive amount of fromunda cheese at the end of the week.

Probably about a week.

After three days you feel all scuzzy, then you sort of get used to feeling oily.

Watching westerns it's hard to imagine how infrequently they bathed.

As an adult I don't think I've gone a day. Even on camping trips I bring a camping shower you hand in a tree and let the sun heat up the water. So to answer your question never more than 24 hours.

11 days while hiking at Philmont in northern New Mexico. After a few days you get used to it. The shower at the end of the hike was awesome!

In days of Ancient Past, some civilizations used to drizzle olive oil onto themselves and then scrape the combined oil/dirt/sweat off of themselves.

Maybe one day I’ll give it a go myself….anyone actually tried this?

1 week without anything other than a wet wipe whore bath
14 days if jumping in a 45 degree lake with a bar of soap doesn't count as bathing.

45 days in Desert Storm, we were too far ahead of the logistics train, did some bird baths in that time. Good thing it was winter and dryish all the time.

Both of those count as bathing. So zero days.

Well if whore baths count, maybe 2 days? I don't really remember. It has to be life or death for me to get in my sleeping bag nasty and grimy.
