7-10 days. But I was camping, and swam in streams so I don't know if that counts.

But as for no showering when I could, at most 2 days while on college road trips.

That is what I was going to say... Does bathing in lakes/rivers ect. count.... If so, maybe 2 days at the most.

I've pulled a straight 5 dayer in the past. Basically the house I lived in kept a steady temp of 50 degrees. I said to hell with it cause I knew I was only gonna get dirty the next day anyways. Oh man I hope I don't take the dirtball award.

longest ever was like 2 months or so, but I was swimming twice a day and adding soap and shampoo once or twice a week.

longest as an adult is probably 3 days during a REALLY bad hangover/f*cked up weekend.

jt09, I've done several 3 day benders where a shower was the last damn thing on the mind. Halloween in Madison every year in college. I was so caked in grease and nast one year when some dude held a flame to my costume I lit up like roman candle. Luckily I remebered to drop and roll. I was dressed as an angel that year. My wings and halo were all bent to stuff, 5 o'clock shadow, cigar stub in mouth. What a great weekend, 4 angels and a pappa smurf fist fighting in the middle of regent street.

I've gone 5 days. Spring break last year we went to the lake to fish for a few hours, and ended up staying a few days. I swam everyday, so i didn't feel nasty really. I honestly never feel disgusting when i go to the lake. We normally stay at least 2 or 3 days, and if i get in the water, i feel fine.

Damn I feel dirty then. My tops is 7-10 days and for no real reason. I've done 5-6 days before working in a dusty dirty shop environment.

Damn I'm a dirty SOB...

Jacosta may take the award though, we'll have to ask him about Iraq... Laughing

2 days is the max for me and that's just lying around the casa.
I remember way back when I was just starting out in the wb world, I knew several up & coming boarders who didn't shower for days on end.
Their train of thought was pretty mush like a few above stated - if you're in the water everyday what's the need to shower.

Then that's why they ended up with fungal skin infection and called it vitiligo. Laughing

I can't go more than a day or two without a shower - it drives me crazy

2-3 days, but only during camping and stuff. I hate the feel of greasy hair

The summer after I graduated high school I went about 3 days every week without showering. Some friends and I would go wakeboarding at Alan Henry (lake near Lubbock) and sleep in the boat and truck for the weekend. Come to think of it, I got more action on those showerless weekends than probably the rest of my life combined. And, with sleeping in the truck and boat, no girl ever tried to spend the night.

8 days for me, but because i was caught in a blizzard on top of a mountain during a hunting trip. we ran low on firewood and had to lay in a mummy bag for 4 days. it was hell. a frozen white hell.

jt09, usually there was swimming on a run like that, but yeah. Also have done it because of work. Wake up, work until I'm too tired, sleep. Repeat for a week or so... Crying or Very sad
