ah yeh, the holy bastu
its funny that we fins don't think that its luxyri in other countries.
like america i had heard that in swimming halls there are no saunas.
i would not go in a swiming hall whit no bastu it would just suck ass.
Btw i own a bastu and it works whit burngin wood. the best chind of saunas =D
ilovebetty Finns = Suomalaiset.
I like sauna very much. Nothing greater than few good friends, some good food waiting in the oven, cold beer (buried in the snow of course), load of herbs and some sausages on top of the kiuas (thing that heats up the sauna) in tin foil. Add a lake and I can die after that.
So yes, I think most of Finns like it hot hot hot.
Actually (and yes, all following is true) sauna has been known in Finland for a very long time, and has played a big role in old religions of Finland. (before Jesus, around the times of Ukko)
Even today, in some big factories etc. the overtime pay you get, if you work saturday night is called "sauna extra", because traditionally saturday has been the day for sauna.
Also saunas were known residences of hobgoblins or something like that in Finnish folklore. People used to leave food on top of the stove, as presents for the fairiefolk. I believe that is one reason people still cook on the stove in Finland (of course we cook in our kitchen mainly, but as Bassbababa said, sausages in tin foil on the stove )
One thing I don't understand, is how the hell can people use their saunas as growroom?! Don't they want to use it for what it is for?
Hello all
Sauna is so best in dark and cold winter evenings.
I live couple years ago in Lapland and there was freezing weather in winters.
My favorite hobbie was drive snowmobile and then go to sauna
Too high temp not be best (IMO) i use ~70-90´c.
On sitä kyllä tullut saunottua kasvejen kanssa useastikin, sillä sauna on meillä virallinen poltteluhuone (paras ilmanvaihto) ja bongikin asustaa siellä koko ajan. Bongi lattialle vaan saunomisen ajaksi... Budit myös kuivatetaan aina saunassa ja kuivana ne silputaan johonkin astiaan ja jätetään lauteille
Kyllä se 70 astetta on ihan optimi. Eikä mitään jumalattomia löylyjä! Silleen sopivasti
Mutta tarkoitin elavien kasvien kanssa, niin jos kasvit on saunassa purkissa kasvamassa
Niin niita pitaakin kuivutta, ma en voi tehda sita mutta jos voisin niin tekisin varmasti.
Poltot eivat viela ole paassyt saunaan asti viela taalla, kun niin harvoin saunotaan. Otan nykyaan sauna kaljan. Turkissa asun ja kesalla on niin kuuma ettei viitsi ja talvella on niin paljon kiireita, ei kerkea enemman kun kerran viikossa, parhaiten.
