Longest you went without shower?

Recommended Posts

5 days, on two occasions.

1) In the trauma center post-accident.

2) On a rafting trip in 2005. I did get into hot springs there, but still in my wetsuit so it really wasn't a cleansing experience.

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

10ish days. I don't think I ever made two weeks while fishing, but I certainly went at least a few days over one. It's hard to keep track when working an average of 35 hours on, 5 hours off. A shower after an extended period of such work is kind of a chore too...takes awhile to get the blood, guts, bait, scales, and salt worked out of your hair/beard. :S;)

the nurses would have sponge washed you in that time.




Longest for me was 10 day whilst on Naval field exercises, 10 days in the Bush, with a 3 day ration pack looking for casualties and evacuating them.

3 days, camping in the NC mountains in the dead of winter. I'd've rather burst into flames than get wet in that cold. :D

If I had been on that trip, I would have treated you to a hot shower. >:(

Hmmm - the right nurse might make a little trauma worth while . . .:)

Possibly but the question was "shower, bath, pool or pond". SPONGE bath didn't form part of the question.

:P:P



Ummm . . . there were no specifics in the type of bath . . .
So, yeah, it was included, no matter HOW your canuckian brain tries to justify it, eh?

I'm with you, 'Shell, I didn't consider getting a few swipes with a sponge to be anything resembling a shower, bath, pool, or pond.

But at least I've contributed to everyone's fantasies about sponge baths. :D

Well, technically you're right about no specifics to the type, however, considering the other 3 choices specifically involve being immersed, or covered in water, a sponge bath wouldn't fall into that category now, would it??

:P:D

So - you have never just sat at the edge of a pool?

JUST stuck your toe in the pond?

You're reaching . . .
