Went to an event last night. They had three cold plunge ice barrels. I'm all about boosting the cold shock proteins, so I took a 5 minute ice dip. Looked into purchasing my own model of the barrels on hand. $1199 + $149 shipping. That's not a fat finger misprint. A commensurate polyethylene rainwater collection barrel can be had for $100ish. And I can guarandamntee you there are hipster douches that eagerly shell out the gullible goy tax for the kool kid model. Of course, the rain barrels don't come with a matching step stool, so, ya know, there's that...

Hold on a second here. You're telling us that you went to a public event, with lots of other people (I'm assuming). They had 3 barrels that other people were using (assuming again) and YOU climbed into one ???

You got in a barrel of water that other people were already in?

That is fucking disgusting, don't fucking do that. I can't even imagine all the cooties that you exposed yourself too!!

Gross as fuck.

While I appreciate, "never let facts get in the way of a good story," I've also kicked around enough to know that a man is as good as his word, written, spoken or given and that untruths have a habit of sneakin' round to exact their pinch or pound of retributive flesh.

In the complex I work at there’s “fight club” training gym, they do that out in the parking lot now and then. I think the same thing.

Pretty sure they do a heavy workout prior to as well. They’ll all arrive around 8am, ice bath doesn’t come out until we’ll after 10am. Yikes.

Yeesh. 55 gallon barrels shouldn't even be $100ish. They should be $50ish. barrel (pic8.co)

Rain collection barrels have the added benefit of a drainage system
