Top 10 Things We're Doing During WFH.
We're all in this together. We live life safety-third, except when it comes to safety. We've done our part to flatten the curve, and while we are working from home, we are business as usual. You can still order kits, and you can always have fantastic custom designs made for you by our incredible artists. You can still talk to a live person at Primal. If you want to know more, need some guidance, or just want to chat, hit us up on social @primalwear or at customer.service@primalwear.com.
Love you! - Team Primal
#1 Riding Our Bikes (Duh.)
Right now, more than ever, it's essential to stay fit. We suggest you go out and ride your bike right now. And then come back and read the rest. The consequences of not riding a bike are illustrated perfectly in the video below by one of our incredibly talented designers, Zach.
#2 Perfecting Our Indoor Cycling Set Ups
It's time to get that pain cave in good working order. One of our resident Pro Cyclists recommends a giant mirror right out in front for motivation so that you can feel the pain, be the pain, and, quite honestly, see the pain. The iPad / iPhone Combo Stand, available at your local computer store, which is probably still open. Or take it outside and let nature be your guide.
Or get a Peloton. They are amazing. Like, really, really, amazing!
#3 Dominating Dat Puzzle Game
It turns out our staff is really, really good at puzzle solving. If you've ever met us, you probably said, "Makes sense" but did you know John Spilsbury invented the first puzzle in 1760. They were dissected maps of the British Empire. Also, the extruding segments of the puzzle pieces are called "Tabs," and the corresponding locking segments are called, well, like, 50 different names. So I guess you could call those whatever you want.
Here is a 33,600 piece puzzle time-lapse:

#5 Binge Watching The Quad-Fecta
What is the Quad-Fecta you ask?

#9 Perfecting The French Press
This week is the time to dial in that french press coffee making. Everybody's doing it. There is a secret formula to turning that cup of joe from a quick fix into pure bliss. Here is Taylor’s approach:
"The bean? La Vega, washed Colombian Coffee, of course. My daily routine is one French press to start the day, then supplement with the Aeropress as needed. Colorado is at a perfect elevation for boiling water for coffee. 202 is the sweet spot, so no need for a temperature gauge here! Boom! "
