Three to 4 days is pretty standard for me, so this practice is the same as you twice a day guys only showering once. The horror!

They said the EMP is a real threat.

No better time to practice than right now during the lockdown.

During our cool weather I don't shower everyday unless I break a sweat. With out weather lately it's a daily shower and a dunk in the pool.

Or, when the Covid becomes water borne?

As long as I have power to run the well, I'm good.
If not, I live by a river. Bathing could get a little intense in the winter, though.

I gotta do something when the balls start sticking to the thigh. That can be 20 hours to 48, depending on weather. My hair starts looking pretty greasy after 24 hours.

My wife wouldn't let me in the bed if I didn't shower and I love the feel and smell to much not to shower.

Is it safe to assume you are not troubled by the dreaded " Baboon Azz" ?
There are few things as soothing as a bubble bath, even better w/ some scented candles. I think you would find it therapeutic.

3 days tops for me. For extended camp trips can do without a bath but gotta wash the hair. Dandruff sucks.

Grog say bath once a year plenty good. Especially if fall to bottom of buffalo jump while getting meat out.

Jump in lake with bearskin robe on. Wash clothes same time as bath.

Everything good until next summer now.

As mentioned, a "Whore's" bath, washing the hairy parts of the body is a lot better than nothing.

In the army we had to shave every day, with a blade in even!

Twice while elk hunting we went 10 days without a shower.

We did do the tub wash around the campfire thing.

When we got into town we stopped at a pizza hut for something to eat and had the fastest service i have ever seen.

I took a bath and had to unplug the drain 2 times and had to it once while taking a shower.

I sure felt smaller after that.

When out hunting i can go for days but after 3 or so i need to hit the head with some water.

I shower every morning and I shower every evening after work. The longest I’ve gone without a shower in the past dozen or more years is 1 day and that was after recovering from surgery. Even when I do a fly in-drop off hunt I have to bathe every day or every other day at the least.

I like being clean and I sleep better when I go to bed clean. When we do fly in drop off hunts I’ll uheat water so that I can bathe and wash up, especially when I’m up in Alaska. Being smothered in 100% Deet, covered in dead mosquitoes makes a bath one of life’s simple pleasures and a definite mood changer....for the better. 😁

Luckily my hunting partners are also into their personal hygiene which makes sharing a tent with them much easier. I couldn’t share a tent with a guy that hasn’t showered or bathed in a week. It’s easy enough to stay clean, even in the wilderness. If my partner doesn’t want to bathe during our week or two of hunting then he will be bringing and sleeping in his own tent. Either way is fine with me.

A quick story.....
My buddy and I did a fly out black bear hunt in Alaska. After our second day in camp I decided that an evening bath by the lakeside would be necessary. I heated the water, stacked my clothes and towel neatly and in the order in which I would use it. Towel on top, boxers next, tee shirt, pants, etc. I stripped naked and proceeded to take a much needed, glorious warm “bath” by the edge of the lake. I shampooed, soaped up, rinsed off and put on clean clothes....it was a wonderful feeling being clean and Deet and sweat free. My buddy saw how easy it was and how it improved my overall attitude and outlook so he decided to do the same thing. I explained my system to him and he tried to do the same thing, the same way I did it. Problem was that he didn’t really listen to me nor did he think it necessary to organize his clothes like I did. My buddy is 6’7” and not as self-assured as I am so he wasn’t “comfortable” being buck naked in the wide open but empty wilderness....still he decided to proceed. He stripped naked and in his rush to get done as fast as possible he mistook his fancy Shamwow towel for a washcloth and immediately dunked his towel into the bucket of warm water leaving him with nothing to dry off with. By now he was soaped up when suddenly and out of nowhere a Cessna on floats flies right over him maybe a hundred feet AGL. He was frantically trying to get the soap out of his eyes so he could hastily throw some clothes on. In his rush he dropped his shirt in the lake and dropped his clean pants in the mud. I was laughing so hard I was crying. Here we are in the middle of nowhere, he’s buck naked and we’re being buzzed by a Cessna. He was so flustered by our unexpected guests that his lack of preparations really bit him in the ass. His clean clothes were soaked and muddy and his once dry towel was now soaked. He had not followed my process because he always had a better way of doing things but that day, actually the entire trip, seemed to change the dynamics of our relationship and from then on he’d listen to me and do things the way I did them, at least as it pertained to fishing and hunting. 😁

. my buddy walked into the lake last September. He had been in the bush 1.5 months IIRC. I don't blame him but I'd have never found my nuts back. I can handle a few days and then some, especially with a few nice big wet ones. I'd feel better with a shower or bath, but I've done it when its sub zero with heated water and I only 'needed" it once during a week long spell...
