I went nearly two weeks once. Hiking everyday and wearing the same two sets of clothes everyday. /claim
 
I was in the same situation as you OP, went for a week long trek through the cascades. Sweating all day then having to live in the same clothes.

At least i got to go swimming, otherwise it would have been a whole lot worse...
 
A week, but I swam everyday and I didn't have to wear the same cloths, so it wasn't really dirty or anything.
 
11 days on a mission trip to Ghana. we were supposed to have water for the two weeks we were there but on the second day the town shut down the water grid for a month to conserve water. the only way to get water was to have teenage african girls walk a few miles each way to get us buckets. (no clue why they never made us do it) we had to ration it and lets just say showering was the last thing we were worried about. a few baby wipes did the trick every night. best shower i ever got when we left the camp we were at though (after a 5 hour ride in a van with 12 other people who hadnt showered in 11 days)
 
I plan to go all christmas break without showering. Last year I almost made it but showered for x mas day.
 
last we were movin, and all my clothes were packed, so i wore the same set of clothes for almost a week and didnt really shower at all either, i havent felt that gross in a long time
 
haha wtf? I have gone at least a week since I have been at school, I usually just lose track of the last time that I showered.
 
4 or 5 days at bonnaroo last summer. so dusty, dirty, and tired. needless to say when i got home and took a shower it was one of the most glorious moments of my life.
 
oh god lol ive gone maybe 2 days at the most. i like being clean. but if i was swimming every day in the woods or something then id be fine. i just need to be myself in water at some point
 
I was transient for over a month this summer but i think it was 26 days this summer. I swam everyday and the clothes i wore were like sport shorts so they dont retain any janky smells.
 
When I bike tour I usually go for a few days at a time. Its not out of choice though, You get stanky cycling 80 miles a day. During the summer I don't shower as often, but winter I do it ere day because that shits warm.
 
a week and a half backpacking up in the sierras it was a good time only men and no showering or shaving.
 
41 days. I was in grade 7.

Instead of showering, if I got dirty I would wash the specific area. I was a gross fuckin kid.
 
summer camp i went a few weeks without showering, but was in the lake every day with a bar of soap. guess that doesn't count.

in recent memory, i think the longest is about 3 days. by then im smelly as fuck and hair is thick with grease.
 
I'm with you. Back when I was a youngster, I hated showers and would go multiple weeks without them, even during the school year. These days, I have to take a shower at least once a day, and I totally hate going anywhere without taking a shower. Ironic how things change so drastically...
 
i think it was like 2 and a half weeks like last summer, i was injured so i wasnt very active just sat around my house, you could literally mold my hair into any style you wanted... pretty gross
 
4 days hiking in the Presidential Range

fucking brutal, as it rained all four days and our rain cover tents weren't working. I smelt like shit on the way back I know it but so did everyone else.
