3 or 4 days max for me.
Some guys at school had a contest and went at least 11 or 12 days. Deodorant was allowed though.

Hmm. I know Canadians enjoy their beer but don't you think 2.5 weeks is a bit excessive? The corner store usually has more than enough varieties to choose from.

I was taking a bath every day in bug repellent 😉 When I got to civilization and took my fist shower all I remember was a white river of repellent going down the drain for a solid 15 minutes 😀

Major gross!

that would be awesome if it actually was Beer hunting! Imagine! hehehe.
 
Just 3 or 4, I think, several times. Camping and also when I broke my ankle 8 years ago. Wrapping the cast in a trash bag and duct taping it all up so the cast wouldn't get wet was such a production that I only did it twice a week.

I was in Northern Ontario in a remote region. We using loggin trails to get as far north as possible. This was also in the mid '80's before the mandatorey guide rule.


I must stunk bad had a Mamma Black bear follow trail. The bear was pushing 400 lbs and when her jaws snapped together it made the same sound as taking two rocks and hitting them together.

I was going to give it a split personality with my 30-06 but fortunantly she never charged me.
