Maybe 48 hours, camping. I don't even know if I've gone that long, actually. I'm just assuming that I have.
ETA: you're fricking gross for doing that, while having access to a shower.

I was in pretty rough shape last summer with the cancer. I was in the hospital for about a month and didn't even think of showering.

4 days during a hunting trip in South Texas in January. It wasn't THAT bad given the time of year.

I've gone two weeks several times. OCS, IOBC, various field exercises.

Longest though was five weeks. Remote mountaintop in the middle of nowhere Turkey. It never got above freezing, even during the day, so it wasn't too bad. The two weeks in OCS in Columbus, Georgia in July was much, much worse.

Yep.

If I couldn't shower I'd use baby wipes or if I found a bottleof water, I'd quickly rinse myself off.

Or if I had nothing I'd just suck it up. I guess my longest was a month

During Desert Storm, we went right at 60 days without having access to a shower. If you call using baby wipes to clean your armpits, nut sack & bunghole a bath, then only a few days. Would use a canteen to wash my hair about every 3-4 days during that span. Thought I had a really good tan going til that first shower in nearly two months washed a few layers of dirt off.

2 weeks in the field at Ft. Benning and close to 2 weeks in Hohenfels. Baby wipes are great when you are in the field.

But you used spray deodorant daily.
