I've gone 3 days when I was in the hospital with food poisoning. Even when I was a kid I liked being clean.
5 days back in 1999 for me. It's a glorious feeling when you take that first shower. Gloooorious.

Those little warm towels they give you to clean yourself at the shower make sense.
6 days.
i was in the hospitol for 4 and the shower in my room was broken.....and it'd been 2 days that I'd gone wihtout beofre I got there.
and your right.
that 1st shower is heaven. i swear I could almost hear Julie Andrews..... "the hills are aliiiiive with the sound of muuuusic!"
They should sell those at CVS or at the racist HEB.
I've encountered someone who seemed like they were going for the record and were trying to cover it up with Old e.
I hate when people from Mexico come into town to shop around the holidays and for Easter. Those rich Mexican people load up on the perfume and colgne.
You stinky people.
One time at band camp.....
When I was on a service project on a reservation in Wyoming a few years ago we only had access to showers once a week for the first two I was there ... the girls learned to braid our hair right after getting out of the shower to make the clean last. It was pretty gross.
Three days once when I was camping in northern Colorado. Did you know you can take a sponge bath and wash your hair in a gallon of water? And did you know that the fastest way to heat water when camping is in soda or beer cans? You can fill them up and set them right over the fire. The aluminum is so thin it heats right up. And the top gives you control when pouring over your head or into a basin. But that kind of bath is nothing like a shower!
We were tent camping. The first hot shower we found up there after three days was at a cabin campground near Taylor Lake that offered showers (with a big old soft warm towel!) for $5.00. It was sooo worth it, and the water smelled like pine needles.
Now, when I go camping, I don't stay anywhere if they don't have hot showers and flush toilets. There are some really nice private (not state or national parks - they almost all have chemical or outhouse toilets and NO showers) campgrounds in Colorado that have both hot showers and flush toilets.
At woodstock i was pushed into the mud/ pits outside the port-o-potties on the last day, and then, and only then did I shower. Okay, I rinsed off.
I don't go anywhere but Inks Lake anymore for that very reason....they even have cabins with electricity.
I don't think I've ever gone more than 2 days without a bath or shower ... most days it's 2 in one day.
Gotta have toilets. That's my new rule.
In basic training we got one shower a week. So, that would be six or seven days.
I can't go 8 hours w/o a bath.1 day w/o diet coke.4 hours w/o fueling myself.6 days w/o cutting my nails.
what a thread! Let me start MiNuS's random thoughts why not!
Have you ever been to Lake Belton? It's a little closer and they have several great campgrounds. At the Cedar Ridge Park, they have some shelters that are pretty nice that have electricity and running water. They have screens on all sides, but they have oil-cloth (waterproof) shades that you can pull down. And ceiling fans! And a picnic table inside the shelter, fire ring/picnic table/lantern post outside. They used to have two cots in each shelter, but I think the last time we went, they had done away with those. We have our own cots w/inflatable mattress on a frame anyway, so we didn't use their cots. Belton is really nice and clean. Lots of RVs, but they have tent sites, too. When we stay at Live Oak Ridge Park, we use the tent. But if the weather is supposed to turn bad, we go to Cedar Ridge and stay in a shelter. I actually like it better than Inks Lake (the showers and restrooms are nicer), but I think Inks may be better for kids because they have playgrounds.I don't go anywhere but Inks Lake anymore for that very reason....they even have cabins with electricity.

Edit: Maybe Belton is not closer, now that I think about it. It is very nice, though. It's closer to stores and such and that's very important when you forget the marshmallows! (both Belton and Temple are very close, but you get the feel of being out in the sticks).
You win.
So far...
Ever come across someone who smells like shampoo and ass?
WTF??
I work at my parents store.. and the island I live on is half French.. and these French people usually come in once in a few days.. and DAMN... let me tell you.. they reekkkk... I can't even help them out because I have to walk outta the store because it's sooooooooooooooo disgusting... On top of that they wear these tank tops n stuff and don't do anything about the hair under their arms... It's totally EWWW!!!
People in Germany are like that, too. And, it's sooo weird, because they keep their houses and shops and streets and yards sooo clean. It's just strange that so many of them do not bathe daily, or if they do, they don't use deodorant. And a lot of the women don't shave their armpits or legs, either, especially the older ones.I work at my parents store.. and the island I live on is half French.. and these French people usually come in once in a few days.. and DAMN... let me tell you.. they reekkkk...
