How to DIY an ice bath. Gather the materials:
Tundra® 350 Hard Cooler
8-20 lb. bags of ice
3-5 bigs blocks of ice
A water source
Fill a Tundra® 350 Hard Cooler three quarters of the way with water. Make sure the cooler is placed on a flat, stable surface to ensure the lid does not close unexpectedly.
Empty the bags of ice into your cooler to cool things down.
Take things a step further and add in the blocks of ice.
Build some heat before you chill out.
Hop on in. Deep breathing and a furry companion are highly recommended.
Add a few new ice blocks every couple days to maintain the temperature so you can get the most out of your ice water.
