Six or seven days for me. On an elk hunt in the mountains, so not much of a funk factor. I figure our military friends will win this, hands down, unless you're just gross.

I just went from the morning of Thurs, 10/17, until the morning of Sat, 10/26... so 9 days?
I once went 9 months w/out showering. Spent the whole time submerged in a strange fluid. It was quite comforting actually.
I went for around 6 years without a shower once.
Maybe a day. I've got big balls and they start to itch pretty bad after about 24 hours.
This post stinks!!!!
But seriously.
Do baby wipes count?

34 days. During a deployment. Thankfully everyone around me was just as disgusting so after the first few days, you no longer noticed the foulness.
Roughly 1 month. Deployed to the Middle East, and water was temporarily in short supply.
About 2 weeks while on Reforger II in the Federal Republic of Germany.
U.S. Army

24 hours usually
A few camping/fishing trips where so went a week or so. I naturally develop potent body odor if I sweat a lot (genetics, some people have it others don't) , and am big on hygiene so I find a way to get clean, be it a jump into a freezing mountain stream or a splash bath out of a sink.
Either 7 or 8 days after a Mexico missionary trip.
After the third day or so, you just smell like dirt.

It all boils down to ball comfort
8 weeks was the longest while in the Marines. But many other times month or less on different occasions as well in the Corps. Combination of Cetaphil wipes and some Gold Bond Friction definitely went along way during that time.
Gross
I took four showers in 8 months my first tour in Iraq once we hit out AO.
When everyone stinks, no one does.

10 days hiking in New Mexico. No sir. I shower habitually 2 times a day minimum. Not showering for that long is disgusting

That apparently doesn't work for Ugandans.
About 3 weeks. Up the Rockies. Great trip.

Gig 'em!
I don't recall experiencing that. What I do recall (and my wife does too) is that it took about 1 month for my b.o. to go away after I got home and resumed showering daily.Bob Knights Liver said:How do you combat the ball chafing?Trident 88 said:

Since I retired, Saturday is my shower day unless something special is planned during he week.
Same with shaving...Saturday before church.
Don't smoke, drink or eat a lot of red meat meaning my body pores don't put out much odor.
A week or two at Philmont. There's always a stream somewhere, or that one camp with showers.
YES
29 days during a round of stinkout on Westpac.
I took a coed contingent 6 years ago. Was shocked at how many showers there are in the back country now. Seemed like we had one every other day.
21 days at Philmont. Backcountry camp with very limited water.
