    Ya kinda random, but we are all guys...errr, and some of us are Ladies too. (ya'll can put your input also)

    Was wondering how long you've gone with out showering your taking a bath. I will allow a "Baby whipe shower" in your stories.

    Since I started this crazyness I'll add my 2cent in.

    Longest I've gone was about 23 days. was Out doing military training at NTC (National Training Center) In the deserts of California. Tell ya what that shit SUCKED, and that first shower after I got back was AMAZING!!!!!

    7 months in 100+ degrees without a real one, unless you count running stinky nasty well water over you or carving out gritty sand with baby wipes. I will NEVER take a warm shower for granted. . .

    Afghanistan bro, well water literally smells like feces where I was. We were way down south in helmand province, started in garmsir and pushed em south. No showers, no internet, sat phone once every few months for ten minutes before it died and I will say again, well water = diseased feces water haha sucked hard core living in dirt walls.

    Oh no doubt that it sucked...I've had to clean with stagnate water on one of my deployments. after I washed the dirt and grime off with shitty water, i then did a baby whipe shower...but I didn't count that experience. Cause it wasn't a continous straight period with out "washing yourself"

    25 Days on the Grand Canyon. But that doesn't mean I was not getting wet daily from the rapids. The first shower back was great .:yay:

    ill get in on this. i went the whole summer with out a shower about 2 years ago. so 3 months. maybe im cheating though because i swam in the ocean and pools a few times a week. and i was still getting love from ladies, so i must not have smelled that bad.

    typically ill go a week or 2 without showering
