6 days after Hurricane Hugo. Didn't have power or running water during the time, so it wasn't exactly a voluntary choice.

I went four days last summer while on break. The rest of the family had gone to visit her friend in another state, so I was home alone the whole time. The older I've gotten, the more often I'll go a day or two regularly.


Hadn't bathed in years...until I read your post.

Some of you are pretty nasty. How hard is it to take baby/personal wipes or a bottle of soap and jug of water for cleaning your balls and arse.

In combat I understand.

Thirty days. Rotation to the National Training Center in January-February 1986. Coldest I have ever been in my life. My long johns were so nasty I just cut them off and threw them away. I was pretty rank when it was all said and done.

Reminded me of my answer. When I was sick, I knew I had to go to the hospital but I was in rough shape and I knew I'd be there for awhile. So I foolishly tried to take a shower at like 10 AM. That exhausted me so much I passed out for 4-5 hours. About day 6-7 in the hospital, miserable old nurse would walk in, make me get naked and would watch as I tried to give myself a sponge bath while she changed the bed I was still in. Wasn't very effective. It was probably day 12 before in before I tried to take a shower. Was so exhausting I almost feinted. Lost my eyesight.

Probably 3 days, not counting when I told my Mom I showered and didn't.

23 days...

Training at Yakima for a NTC deployment. We all stunk so bad, I'm sure our olfactory glands just gave up so we couldn't smell each other.

Baby wipe whore baths every night

9 days while hiking in the badlands in S. Dakota. The day we came out we went to eat .99 pancakes at Wall Drug and they made us eat outside because we stunk so bad.

I took the greatest shower after that.

20+ days on operation winter warrior but the temp never got above freezing so the smell never got unbearable.
