Did a solo 3-passes trek in Nepal in Everest region, where I've spent some 9 days continually above 4500m, once slept in 5300m. Did take 1 shower (more like warm bucket) cca in the middle. No smell smelt at all. Same would go for Aconcagua expedition, also 1 shower, and that was 2.5 weeks. Some members of the team skipped that shower altogether.
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoI can deal with not showering during longish hikes. But still sensitive to nikwax. That’s the smell I associate with hikers. Not body odour. In cold climes, you don’t sweat as much. Which is why it’s important to hydrate a lot. And you pee it out. You can only induce sweating by increasing body heat and spices do a great job. The importance of sweating can’t be underestimated. Sweating is the trigger that encourages us to hydrate.
