I'm on the 3rd day. I used to shower twice a day, but I've been at home the past week so I see no point :p

My longest streak was probably two weeks in middle school.

Hiking trip in Alaska...6 weeks with no shower. Ever so often we'd stop for a dip in the freezing water, but no shower, and no more than 5 minutes, else you'd turn into an ice cube.

I think it was 4 days. I was living out of a tent and the temperature was between -7C to -19C (about 1 to 20F). However, my best friend didn't bath for 5 weeks during the this time.

I have a shower pretty much every day or every 2 days otherwise I feel manky.
3 days max between showers for me, otherwise I just hate being awake.

About 5 or 6 days between showers on a camping trip. Otherwise I try to shower daily...the smell starts to get to me pretty quickly if I don't.

Yeah. We did swim and stuff, but it's not like I used soap.

12 days in the Sierras. That was nasty. Never had a better shower than the hot springs at the end of that. ;)

Probably about 2 or 3 weeks... in the late 1980's a lot of homes in china even in cities didn't have running water so if you don't sweat you don't really need to take the effort to go to a public shower...
