bought myself a 100 gallon feed tub last week, filled it up 2/3 with water, dumped a cooler full of ice into it and hopped in for 5 min, including 20-30 s dives. amazing. anyone else on here do it?
I sometimes go to a banya here that has a cold plunge (~40 degree F water). Feels good after spending time in the 200 Deg F sauna.
That was after most of the ice has molten. Need to get a thermometer. For science. Apparently, the recovery effects are tremendous. Going to add an aquarium pump to it to add some circulation and filtration
You should get together with @motion and you could jump back and forth between this and his portable hot tub.
This is the routine in Russia: banya getting beat with birch branches, ice cold pool plunge, shot of vodka, repeat. I miss it.
The place here is full of eastern Europeans. Russian is the dominant language of the bathers, followed by Polish, Spanish, and then English. You'd feel right at home. The place has food and drinks, too.
Circulated chilled water. There are two waterspouts filling the pool and circulating the water. It also has chilled water drench showers.
Y'all keep having that cold water fun. Invite your friends. As many as will join. I'll be in the 80°+ pool with girls with fake boobs, eating disorders, and daddy issues.
