September 27, 201610 yr Don't know if it was exactly 2 weeks, but awful close to it if not. Army days, in the desert training. And we trained ALL the time. Sometimes they would let us go into some old barracks on the training post to take a quick shower after 5-6 days...lot of times not. If you were lucky you might have enough down time to grab a rag out of your ruck sack, wet it down with water out of your canteen or a 5 gallon water jug and wipe off a little. I can tell you this, after being out there for about 2 weeks, a shower never felt so dang good.
September 27, 201610 yr I honestly can't think of a time I have gone over a day and a half without a shower.
September 27, 201610 yr 5-7. Don't remember exactly. I had mono and was sleeping the majority of the time.
September 27, 201610 yr When I had my surgery back in 2013 wasn't allowed to bathe for a week, it was brutal. Do you guys know how much a bear can smell after a week. Yikes.
September 27, 201610 yr I guess two or three days on camping trips. Driving home required the windows to be open.
September 27, 201610 yr Went on a canoe/camping trip in the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota between my junior and senior year of high school. Was June, but weather broke cold. I had planned to bathe a couple of times but cold(er) water scared me off. I think I went either four or five days. Coming out, we stopped at a hotel in Wisconsin. I'm guessing their hot water heater still hasn't filled back up!
September 28, 201610 yr For former military personnel this can be a long time. I was in the field for almost 30 days once. You do what you can in a creek or spring, but that's not really a bath. One of the reasons I love showers and water sooooooooo much now.
September 28, 201610 yr I don't feel like I've ever gone more than 2 days without a shower of some sort. Even when the ice storm hit.
