VENTURA COUNTY (CBSLA.com) — An Ojai man has come up with a unique challenge to personally attempt to curb the drought crisis in Southern California.

CBS2’s Peter Daut reported Cody Creighton is 58 days into his challenge of not showering for 128 days. However, Creighton still manages a form of hygiene by washing his hands and face.

According to Creighton, he believes that 30,000 gallons of water is saved for every shower that he doesn’t take during the challenge.

To follow Creighton on the rest of his personal challenge, visit his Instagram account where he posts photos and video updates about his journey.

It is a good thing he is not trying for a job as a taxi driver down in San Diego.

...standing under a 55 gallon drum by pulling the cord to get wet, soaping, and rinsing. it was so damn cold, you did not linger or use too much water. We avoided showers until we could smell ourselves.

Did you get sniped at out there? I did. We had the same set-up at Hill 29 just off the Redball twixt Danang and Tam Ky. The AK cracks were still off at least 600 yards or so. But when you can hear em whizzing by, you know they've got a bead on ya.

Talk about a quick shower....

30,000 gallons is a small swimming pool. This guy is bonkers if he thinks he’s saving that much water for every shower he doesn’t take. He’s got to be a liberal. Only liberals think in such pie-in-the-sky, irrational terms. Can you imagine the smell if all the liberals in California stopped showering to overcome the drought? Pew! Wouldn’t wanna be ya’.

He better SURE not have long hair —he’ll be mistaken for Sasquatch before long—notorious for its horrific odor.

Not sniped at during the daylight. learned not to go out to the pee tubes at night with a flashlight though. The base was in a valley (if you are not familar with it) and the east and south hills were not secure.

Got my wake up about peeing and a flashlight hearing a round whiz overhead. It had gone subsonic, from way out wherever they fired it from, but it got my attention.

On the flip side, maybe Mother Nature will get tired of the stench and cause it to rain copiously for a while.
