Sauna + Cold Plunge = A Sweet Experience

At Honey Hut, we love saunas and we love cold plunges. But what we love most is the combination of the two.

I first discovered saunas in 2016, while running this beautiful log-cabin lodge in a glacially carved valley in the mountains just outside of Yellowstone National Park. Our business had this old Ford pickup truck with a single bumper sticker that read:

"1 + 1 = 3"

For a while, the math didn't make much sense to me. Doesn't 1 + 1 = 2?

However, blissfully lying on the bank of the snowmelt creek running through town one night after a long, hot round in the sauna and a long soak in the frigid creek, the math on the bumper sticker suddenly added up.

A sauna by itself is great.

A cold plunge by itself is great.

But pair a sauna and cold plunge together, and something extra, or exponential even, occurs.

The overall experience of pairing a sauna and cold plunge together is much greater than the experience of each separately. There is (1) sauna, (2) cold plunge, and (3) the further invigorating relationship of pairing them.

And thus:

"1 + 1 = 3"

Or in this case:

Sauna + Cold Plunge = A Sweet Experience
