Hey, you know this thing? The deep freezer? Picture this: take out all the railing and stuff, put in a tarp, cut a hole in the tarp and feed through a hose for hydration. Then fill the freezer with nice cool salt mud.

Why salt mud? Water in the ocean can get to temperatures below freezing because of the salt. Salt in mud makes it much more sucking and thick. With both of these in mind, mud that sucks more and is harder to escape, and also capable of being very cold.

Now picture this: You just spent the day in a very hot office. The heat feels like it should be melting you. Your boss is being inconsiderate by using an air conditioner that uses water to cool themself, but humidifies the air and makes it worse for everyone else by making the heat feel like a jungle. When you finish work, you feel like your about to change from a solid to a liquid. The sun through the window has sunburnt you. Sound familiar?

Now picture getting into your bathing suit and getting into that nice cold mud you've had cooling all day. It might be cold at first, but it would be so nice once you adjust.

Does this sound like just a fantasy, or does it seem like something that could be done?

That sounds like a nice fantasy for hot summer days. But in reality I think it would be much too cold to spend any amount of time in it without risk of hypothermia.

Regular deep mud should be cold enough. And if it really isn't, maybe try tossing in some ice cubes.

Wouldn't just unplugging the freezer once it's cold enough be enough?
