I've been taking ice baths for a bit now using plastic water bottles as reuseable ice cubes while filling the tub daily. I have a nice jacuzzi tub available most of the time that is great, but lugging the ice bottles around (my tub is on the 2nd floor, and my freezer is on the 1st floor) and having to re-freeze them every day can be a PITA - as well as having to use new water each day instead of the ability to recycle. My next solution is a chest freezer, which I intend to set up as soon as I am able.

A few tips from my research:

1. Get one big/wide enough for you to fit in comfortably up to and including your shoulders. Checking craiglist for your area is a good starting point for a discounted price. Depending on your size, 10-15 cu ft is a good range to consider.
   
2. Some have a handy shelf inside that can act as a bench; if yours does, you may desire a foam seat pad to put on top to make it slightly softer.
   
3. You can put it on a wall timer (that cycles on/off), then have it run for ~2-4 hours/day to keep the rough temp you desire, or a more accurate option is to get a Outlet Temp Controller (which is my choice method) that will auto on/off for you based on an exact preset water temperature. I enjnoy the idea of setting the tub to a custom temp, based on the length of time I intend to use it as well as the ability to increase cold levels of time.
   
4. When you first fill it with water and want to cool it, either cycle it on/off over multiple days or put a BUNCH of ice in with it - as cooling a lot of water isn't the intended purpose and this will mitigate the strain on the motor cooling system.
   
5. Seal up the inside seams with some silicone sealant (like stuff used for a bath tub), or line the inside with a pool liner for a thicker, reinforced watertight space.
   
6. The cool temp will naturally keep the water cleaner, though using H2O2 is a good way to elongate the life of the water even more. You can get ~5% at most pharmacies, or ~30% at farm supply stores that requires much less.

Yooo Scott! Definitely going to read your book now. Impressive reviews on Amazon. Thanks for joining in.

2 questions for you:

1. Have you any experience combining Wim Hof breathing and psychedelics? ( I just did this with extremely positive results)
   
2. Is there a limit to how many rounds one can do in a day? Some days I'll do 10 rounds throughout the day.

I literally just ordered something similar and got in in the mail yesterday and set it up. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MJ7LBSL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You have to sit cross legged or kneel and you would be neck deep. I haven't used it yet but it seems it will work great.

This inflatible soaking tub is cheap and well built. I'm 6'2" and can easily submerge my whole body in the icebath using this tub.

I’ve been doing exercises from this book for many years. Highly recommend!

One of those camp showers - fill the bag with ice from the freezer and top up with water. https://www.amazon.com/Stearns-Sun-Shower-Portable/dp/B000NVDFOO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1538510433&sr=8-5&keywords=solar+camp+shower

Check out What Doesn't Kill Us. Lots of stories in there. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBSX68B

You'd probably really like What Doesn't Kill Us (got the title wrong above). It goes into the medical side of things quite a bit.

It is talked about anecdotally in the book Becoming the Ice Man.

Basically Justin runs it off some while going to someplace warm. Also gets out of the wet clothes and wraps up in blankets. As he gets more acclimated (weeks/months) the effect of "after drop" lessens.
