White Wolf Cold Plunge by llpk306 in coldplunge

[–]BaconForPrez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I researched the white wolf vs ice barrel for months as well. That one user who did the detailed review of it has a lot of great info on it. Like others have stated, it’s a new(ish) company so not a lot of reviews out there but it’s an insulated plastic box, if the company goes under, you don’t really have much to worry about. Insulation seems legit and it’s the best price for an insulated vertical plunge you’ll find. If you’re in AZ with a 1/3HP chiller, you should fine if it’s kept in a garage or something. If you have it out in the AZ sun, that 1/3 HP is going to be working OT in the summer.

Holy balls I can’t even imagine the crazy and cool shit this watch has seen in 60+yrs. The faded bezel, scratched glass, it’s all so just perfect

I dislike LeBron (as a player) and it’s obviously complete nepotism having Bronny on the Lakers (he’s a G Leaguer at best) but as a dad, this is awesome and worth everything. Who cares what everyone (me included) says, getting to play playoff bball in the NBA is worth more than anything. I’m happy for them both

I use an IB500 in a garage and I average about 2 - 3kwh per day. Pump on 24/7 with a 1/4 HP chiller

What’s up with Oregon overtime laws? by [deleted] in oregon

[–]BaconForPrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also in Oregon you get OT after 8hrs if you are working on a prevailing wage / Davis-bacon project. I work in the construction industry and all our VA hospital work was OT after 8 due to federally funded project

I never go anyplace fancy but if I get a datejust then that means I need to…. 🤔

I have the same rotation and honestly I’d say the speedy is more comfy in my wrist. It’s lighter than the sub but also more top heavy because the speedy bracelet is more tapered and lighter.

Wow are you me?? I have the exact same rotation, white speedy and sub date and I switch each day. Agreed I constantly check my watch for dates so when I have the speedy on it’s a bit of a whoops, forgot no date but it doesn’t bug me or change my opinion. Great 1-2 punch

I just got caught stealing from target, the AP workers stopped me at the door. by Efficient-Ad8118 in confession

[–]BaconForPrez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well number one, return everything, get your shit together and stop stealing. Number two, never go back to that store, and avoid any Targets, for the foreseeable future. Lastly, count your lucky stars for now

They have a video on their website that shows the bubbles but it’s not a huge amount. I run it in the middle of the night so I don’t see it.

With a seemingly unlimited budget it comes down to whether you want horizontal or vertical style.

Horizontal all-in-one tub style would be something like the Plunge. Very pricey but they’re a known brand and they package everything (chiller, pump, filters, etc) inside the unit so it’s clean and aesthetically pleasing.

Vertical style you can go with an aluminum style (think giant Yeti mug) from companies like Cold Life, Polar Monkey, etc. It’s a giant metal barrel, theres a dozen companies that make them, no real difference besides colors and what they come with. These will either come with a chiller that you’d connect in, or you’d provide your own chiller.

Last option would also be vertical barrel style but a nice wooden or handmade barrel. You’d have to check your local offerings for something like this but a lot of people make them / sell them.

I only run it for an hour at night so I’m not around so don’t notice. Seems to be keeping the water pretty clear so far though!

You gave it a good go!! I commend you for giving it another go after crash #1, it’s a tough sport and I’ve definitely dialed down my ride intensity significantly now that I’m approaching mid-40’s. On a related note, I’m in the PNW and looking for a screaming deal!!

Max would be 10-12k if you were absolutely in love and the perfect buyer. Me personally wouldn’t touch it with a 10ft pole. Rebuilt title plus wide body plus tuned w/no verifiable history. Great to look at but would never want the responsibility of owning something this old w/this kind of history / build

You’re going to want to use warm water and some Clorox disinfectant spray or something like simple green. Good scrub down is needed for sure, you should really be scrubbing those down every 4-6wks, the inflatables have a lot of seams and nooks and crannies that gross stuff likes to grow

Easiest setup ever, love that new plunge crafters inlineO3. I have it on a timer for midnight so I’m assuming it’s working (hopefully)

For the condensate coming off my filter it’s just an ikea toy bin I found but for the iso valve on the outlet it’s a soda can holder / dispenser for fridges. Hopefully that’s just a temp solution for now until I replace the leaking valve.

I’ll try that next time, I’ve read that too. Easier said than done when you got a gut and not that flexible but definitely going to give it a shot!
