Dude took eat the rich too literally
That looks like it would be awkward as shit to get in and out of
I imagine that you simply snap your fingers and a serf brings over a step stool
^ this person royals.
Except when he doesn’t
The stool would make great fuel for the fire.
Mandatory pre-bath meals for the staff to make sure they don’t get peckish
Get out? I don’t think You know how stew works.
You can kinda see a wooden step on the LHS between the support poles, and based on them all not sliding into the centre there must be some sort of seating welded inside (although hard to see if there are any weld heat marks in the quality of the photo). So there probably is a good spot to step either side of the lip if you hold the chains while entering/exiting.
Please note this is a complete armchair analysisJust, y’know…grab the edge and tactical roll like a baby tyrannosaurus.
Who needs temperature control?
or breathable air
Or a way to replace the water
I’m sure the water is boiled via the fire then cooled with new water to a comfortable temp. Atleast it looks like the fire is only smoldering maybe enough to maintain temp. I’m sure the boiling kills anything leftover from the previous soaking.
You would need a BIG fire to get that all water to boil.
Besides that, oil, dead skin and other stuff doesn’t get removed just by boiling.
I wonder how well this actually works…
I’d imagine it has to at least be double-boiler style with an intermediate chamber of air or water between the exterior and interior.
I just imagine all of them pushing of one another’s feet to stay up and also how the hell they get out and how water is filtered or emptied . We need answers
There is very likely some step to sit on 🤣. To empty the water you just need a hose and do the same trick people use to steal gasoline (or a pump if you want to be fast and fancy).
“That’s fine but the line is ‘mmm, soup.’”
I think I saw this in a Bugs Bunny cartoon once.
Okay, context, paramedic of 13 years experience. I actually picked up a dude who did almost exactly this. Except he was diabetic with severe neuropathy and had no feeling of hot or cold. And no thermometer in the hot tub that was being directly warmed by a wood fire. You see where this is going. Well it gets worse than that. Dude, still no idea he’s burnt all to fuck, gets out of the hot tub, goes in, and beds down for the night. His caretaker finds him two hours later with his burn juice having soaked all through the sheets and brings him to the local, rural, 4-bed ER hospital, where the ER doc promptly shits a duck. That’s where we come in. We have to haul his ass to a burn center, and I’m telling you, this dude’s legs were fucking wrecked with second degree burns. Never seen anything like it before, and the guy is just chilling, no pain medicine, still a little skeptical that this is really all that bad (it is). Wild. Rural healthcare is something else.
I have peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes in my feet. Damage was done before I even knew I had it and got it under control. Not feeling sounds nice, I have a lovely mix of feeling and excruciating nerve pain. It’s like little lightning bolts in my toes
For some reason my brain read this in an Australian accent which made the story even more interesting
This is just a hillbilly hottub, but a cauldron instead of a bathtub
