Cold showers

[cory]

And that is better how?

Its hard to explain I guess.

I get it. It's the difference between standing in the crash zone, getting sprayed by ocean surf, and just diving in and getting it all over with.

The shower thing, not so good, rapid immersion mucho better.

I like the rapid immersion if I’m swimming. When I was at Abrahm’s Falls this summer I just walked into the river and flopped over into it in a matter of seconds. One heck of a rush. Then spent an hour just swimming around and jumping off ledges enjoying it. The hike back sucked though. All my joints were cold and didn’t like the moderately strenuous hike up the mountain.

That's a pretty spot. Nice falls :^)

Both ways suck heavily. And to aggravate the case, you are doing it eagerly.
You guys are nuts!

 

[stikine]

Correction...Cory is!

 

[cory]

And all the Finns, Norwegians, Russkies, Pols, etc that have been doing it for ages!

 

[Burnham]

You make the case for us, Cory.

Then there's this

I can just picture the old man that lives behind her, sipping coffee in his warm house looking out the window. "What are you always looking at dear" "damn squirrels keep trying to get in the bird feeder, I'm trying to see how they do it..."

Help me out, @Maximalist

Personally, I like a contrasting shower - first hot, then icy. And so on several times. As for diving into icy water or snow, I also love it, especially when I steam in a Russian bath.

Joe Rogan swears by the 3 minute ice bath before a workout.

I should do it really. There is a pretty cold body of water just 40m from my house. The fjord freezes over outside my house occasionally. It always freezing further down the fjord and when the temps rise we see big ice sheets floating past.



Edit: that picture was taken from the warmth of my kitchen. I am not brave enough yet to go in 🤪

 

[lxskllr]

I'd be more inclined to do it in a fjord. Get to be outside in a natural environment. Plopping my ass in a cold tub just seems like masochism.

 

[biggun]

Nature is nice. The fjord is breathtaking, quite literally!

 

[Kaveman]

Then there's this

I bet her nips could cut glass after that.

 

[Tree09]

Mine did just watching it!

 

[biggun]

Then there's this

I think my voice would be higher than hers if I got in there.

I would also have 3 Adams apples.😜

 

[cory]

You can tell the level of crazy from her throwing the ax at the poor cameraman!
