I have a strong preference for camping in cool weather, not hot. I did a bike tour in Southern Florida in February 2017, that is the hottest camping trip I have done that lasted over a couple days.

In cool weather I can easily go a long time without a shower but I really hate hair that has not been shampooed that long, I sometimes wash my hair from a cooking pot of water so at least the hair feels normal again.
