      I have done the ten day thing several times, like many have said, baby wipes will save you.

        I think I went a solid week. When in I was in college after finals I would spend 10 days or so at the deer lease, back in the good old days when corn was $3.50 a bag, gas was $1.10 a gallon, and I didn't have a care in the world. You know you've been at the deer lease too long when the other hunters make two different trips down there and you haven't even left.

          January 2009 my spotter and I were in a hide watching a guy dig a hole in the road in a known IED area. Out of nowhere, he stopped, looked up, threw his shovel and ran. He was picked up by the QRF staged around the corner, and under interrogation, he said he quit digging because he could smell Americans in the mountains.

          You dudes are some scary mothers! Thanks for your sacrifices. If you're willing to go 45 days to 5 months like that just to shoot me, I'd run too.

            i have taken 2 a day when the weather isn't cooperating, and the sweat glands are. i rarely go for more than 24 hrs anyway as i do most of the cooking and thus smell more unnatural than the others.

                    My dad and i used to go for a while month back in college. He would go Weeks without showering.

                    My cutoff was a few days. Even when it was freezing, i had to clean the hotspots.

                        32 days in Iraq 20 years ago. We would leave early in the am to recon new gun positions and get in after the burners were turned off on the showers. I took one shower at night, on the hill without the burners on, 32 days later was my next one. And I can verify, BDUs can stand up by themselves!
