Transportable Hot Tubs

Feel the need to take your hot tub with you everywhere you go, even far, far away from electrical outlets? Don’t worry, someone has already figured it out.

Floris Schoonderbeek, a Dutch artist and designer, MacGyvered the Dutch Tub, which he calls “the essence of outdoor bathing.” It’s an electricity-free, movable hot tub that looks like Andre the Giant’s coffee cup. The tub is heated by a wood-burning stove and can fit four people if you’re feeling cozy. Which we’ll assume you are.

The whole thing weighs about as much as a pudgy 8th grader, and although it’s not quite portable enough to bring on a backpacking trip, you could tow one behind your bike on a trailer. Or, throw it on top of your car when you’re camping for a pre-tent soak. I think they call that glamping.
