This is exactly what I thought when he did that. 😂

You always did your experiment seriously !! Glad that i subscribed here 👍🏼👍🏼 keep up your spirit high Levi! Happy holiday and Merry Christmas

I'm going to start at about 10-12 degrees C and gradually lower the temp over a few weeks. My pool through winter only got down to 15C and even that was beneficial. My aches and pains were so much better.

Hopefully you had a merry Christmas and here's to a Happy New year ahead. Wow that's definitely a very unique build. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.

I have found that the Tararium JP-025F (420 GPH) for 100-200 gallon tanks and small ponds works very well for less than $40 with no filters to replace. In combination with a very small amount of hot tub chlorine crystals periodically and mine easily lasts two months before I need to change the water. Also I get in clean.

Thanks for the great video. I've been taking ice baths for a couple years now. My setup consists of a horse trough in Frozen water bottles which kind of troublesome taking the ice bottles out of my freezer, moving them to the horse trough and at the end placing them back into the freezer. I'm kind of thinking about doing what you built. Thanks again for all the upgrade information

You're awesome dude! Thanks for putting this together. Winter project is the sauna kit and cold plunge!

I’ve thought about diving into cold water therapy. I used to do the Whirlpool ice baths even I was an athlete in high school. Nice setup you got!

Perfect! Thanks for the work behind this!

I have a similar setup for years. Family of three. I do not have a filter, just scup out the hair and bits with a small aquarium fish net. I add a 450ml bottle of H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide), it last from 2 to three weeks before I have to change out the water. I like the large aquarium filter idea, may try that to extend the time between cleaning.

Great video, I'm about to do this with a new freezer, so helpful!

Great vid mate! I made one not long ago and used the inkbird thermometer too, but I love the filter idea!

Awsome video bro. Thank you. I have also been listening to Andrew. Lots of awsome life changing info ae

Levi, great build, great advice. Are you still using this freezer? Any lessons learned or after thoughts on steps you might have changed from last year?

Good job getting in there 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Love it Levi, you rock bro

On summer days, after a drain and filling up freezer fresh - the compressor heat sensor beeping would go off non stop (didnt know they had that!), to touch the outside of freezer, it was burning hot from dissipating heat. Had to run a fan non stop to keep compressor coold. After that, only filled up 3inches of water and then froze it solid like a giant ice cube, then filled with water to melt that ice to get it cool. The freezer compressor will struggle trying to cool ALLLL that water. I got an XL freezer from a restaurant that was 20years old, so that may have been the problem. But make sure your compressor has a fan and freezer has a drain plug! Just tryin to help out others.

Great video, well done mate!!

Simple and nice, thanks.

I remember the early TV moments of Wim Hof on the Dutch television. They were in a rowing boat in the winter on a lake in Amsterdam. And Wim jumped off into the icy water 😅 And Willibrord Frequin that interviewed him. The whole ice water thing is not for me. But your solution looks like a good controlled method 😊

Great tips.

Interesting video. Please do a video explaining more around why *you* are doing this and where the inspiration came from. Thanks!

Thanks for this video. Great idea on creating an ice bath. I've been doing cold showers for 3 months now, but it's to activate my brown adipose tissue for weight loss purposes. It's amazing how it warms your internal body temperature and you just feel revived after a few minutes in cold water. I'm a believer. it's time for me to look for an old chest freezer.

Do you happen to have the model of freezer you're using here? would love to make one of these! Great tutorial.

Great vid, @Levi_Allen! (Subscribed!) Question: have you kept at cold exposure in the morning? How's is it working for you? What's the update. Best to you! Keep creating!

i built mine and added a 300 gallon aquarium filter with air line and hot tub skimmer net i add hot tub chlorine 1/4 tea spoon once a week to keep water clean mine is new with metal inside which works fine for me . all the data on ice baths says 50 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit for dopamine release Harvard studies ? great video thank you

Very helpful thanks. I just scored, what appears to be, that same freezer, used, for a cool $125(USD). It's a bit rusty on the bottom, as it was used to home brew beer in it's former life, but a great deal and looking forward to that first plunge.

What is the type of the freezer you use ?

How’s you cold plunge holding up? Is the marine seal still preventing rust?

I cant wait to get one and make one. I have a infared sauna with red light therapy and I want to go right from the sauna to the ice bath and back to the sauna. So I don't know anything about electricity. So if you jist leave the lid attached I can jist leave the wiring alone?

Thank you for making this video 🫡

Crazy, that is the EXACT same freezer that I found and used. I got it for $250.

Hey have you tried using Epsom salts to reduce the amount of ice?

I just built my own chest freezer as well. I am definitely loving having it around. One question, do you find that the fluval aquarium water filter is helpful/effective in keeping your water clean? How long are you finding that you can stretch out your water change out period? One week, one month, etc? I like this simplistic approach to your water filtration. There are definitely other people using much more expensive methods of water treatment (i.e. ozone generators). Id like to avoid the expense if I can get my water changeout period to about a month.

Great vid, Levi… Thanks bruh

I wish I had an easier way to do ice baths in the summer. Unfortunately, living in an apartment in the hot parts of California makes it difficult as I don’t have much space for a chest freezer and buying ice would get very expensive very fast. Even on the coldest setting, the shower water is around 70 degrees F (21 C). Not low enough to be therapeutic. I could buy a countertop ice maker, but I don’t even have the freezer space to store any ice and it probably wouldn’t produce enough on its own per day.

Dude, thank you so much. Appreciate you sharing a tough plunge. Baby steps..yeah man! Break through as many walls...fuckit moments. Well done 👏 🤙

I’ll do everything I can to avoid getting close to cold water!!! In fact, I’d run the other way and build me a hot tub!

how does it work leaving it outside all year round, will it not just rust or wreck with the weather

The little scream when the nads went in. Haha :)

question does the filter stay inside when the water is freezing? does the cold harm the filter?

can you leave this outside if temperatures are getting below freezing?

The temperature switch turns the freezer on until it reaches desired temp, and then shuts the freezer off. This allows the whole thing to not freeze over

Hi nice video just think you should edit with some text on screen or something to say when you finish smoothing the sealant with your finger to wait for that to dry for at least two days ideally until filling with water. Just thought I’d be helpful and say this 🤷🏽‍♂️ thanks for the vid too!
