Hey everyone

I have been using bagged ice for a while and it works but constantly having to buy it is starting to get pretty annoying for me. Ive been interested and Ive been looking at reusable blocks mostly the bigger ones like the Sweat tent ice bricks and Im curious if they’re actually easier to deal with in practice. Has anyone here used both reusable blocks and bagged ice? Which one makes more sense long term if you’re plunging a few times a week?

I’ve been doing cold plunges a few times a week but constantly grabbing bags of ice gets old pretty fast. I came across those reusable ice brick setups that are supposed to get the water down around 40°F, and I’m wondering how well they actually work, the one I looked at is the Sweat tent kit one and the bricks come with the tub but Im not attached to any specific setup so my question is do the bricks stay cold enough for regular use or do I end up needing regular ice anyway? Also how much freezer space they take up and how long they need between sessions??
