Thanks!

Well, actually I disagree. Traditional, yes, bt probably something like 95-99% of "sauna-goings" happen without it. So it is quite rare and totally optional. And btw, it is called "vihta"..

Well, half the year we don't have ice 🙂.. But as for how many rounds etc, the main point with the Finnish sauna is that there are no rules. Whatever makes you fell good. Personally, I don't like ice baths but if I have time then would typically do a couple of löyly sessions and cooling of in-between by going outside and perhaps enjoying a beer.

Is that the OM-1? For the older E-M1 the off-camera is shown as Rec-709. Later models might behave differently. If the media is tagged 2020 then absolutely use that.

Yes, Finland is a "Celcius" country. When Anders Celcius invented the Celcius scale, Finland was still part of Sweden so one might argue that the Celcius scale is very much "our scale".

That's called "hallucination" and seems to be an issue with OpenVino (or actually the AI processor inside it). Repeats seems to be triggered by pauses to one option is to remove them first. The other option is to use a simpler model, it you are using large-3, then test large-2.

Thanks

Glad you liked it

Yes, Jurmo is very interesting. Nice that you liked it!

Yes, and at least on my battery it does not work, I can only use one for powering. But you can use the USB-A interface for powering and the the USB-C for charging. There are now newer models so this might have been improved?

@@SailInFinland perhaps the larger capacity ones it works. The neewer alternative to the VB50 (Neewer PS050E) thankfully does allow you to power both from USB-A and USB-C simultaneously, and it's even cheaper.

@@Quanijuana very likely, just know about the (original) version.

The project is sponsored by Intel so there seems to be a special emphasis on Inter GPU's 🙂. However, do not worry, the support for non-Intel GPUs is not very good, so your performance with CPU will be as good if not better.

Hi, is there something specific that you would like to know? This is a fairly common setup for sauna stoves to be used in places without warm water on tap. There are a couple of basic designs for this. One is the water tank setup in the video: it's not really a "jacket" (in that it does not surround the stove) but a tank of about 20 liters (5 gallons if you are in the US) on the side of the stove. Many stoves can be bought in one of 3 configs, a narrow model without the water tank and the wider models with the tank either to the left of right of the stove proper. In the video, there is cold water on tap in the sauna, so you fill the tank with cold water and then the water heats up as you heat up the sauna. The other typical design is that there is more like a jacket type tank that is put around the (metal) smoke stack, typically of the same size. Both work with the same principle, the water is being heated by the (excess) heat from the fire. So while the stove-attached tank is something you get when you choose your stove, the tank going around the smoke stack can be installed also later. The water gets quite hot and you get about 6 vats of "wash-warm" water from one tank, enough for about 3 people to wash. If you have more people, then you need to top the tank up as you go. There is an other, "heavy duty" setup for hot water that you can find in some saunas. This is a separate iron cauldron or pot of - say -100-200 liters that has its own fireplace. You then heat the water separately. Typically this is used in environments where there is a separate room for washing (so a 3 room setup - change, wash and "löyly") and you expect there will be more people using the sauna. One other benefit of this setup is that the pot keep the water warm so you have warm water for a morning wash or doing the dishes. In the small tanks, the water gets cold over-night.

@SailInFinland thank you for the very detailed response. What brand is the one you have? I've seen it a few times on the sauna videos I've been watching lately, but I am having trouble finding it online. Thanks again!

@crystalclearcompass it's an older Helo model. This is a link to a local hardware store for stoves with water tanks: www.taloon.com/puukiukaat-vesisailiolla

@@Lifediving cool, nice to have been of assistance!

@@dsniper4845 well, I'm not really qualified to answer but the plug-in is based on open source module called whisper and as far as I can see, the models are tightly integrated with whisper. So assume no, unless you are a coding wizard.

@@NPow94 This is an eternal debate here in Finland 🤔. So let's define our goal, to me the goal is a nice sauna experience. The stove is just a (smallish?) part of the overall experience. Sauna design, location, facilities etc are all important as well. So it's possible to have a bad sauna (experience) with a wood-heated stove and a great experience with an electric. Both have their use. But if there is a well-designed sauna, by the water, with a nice view and nature all around, then I would definitely want a wood-heated stovev in *that* sauna. But for the sauna where I play badminton, I would definitely want to have an electric stove for reliable, instant löyly. So both have great uses and can offer a great sauna experience in the right setting. But for ultimate experience, nothing beats the wooden sauna when everything else around are contributing as well.

@@SailInFinland incredible response. Thank you for this. As an American who is looking to build their own backyard sauna, I will take your words to heart. Thank you!

@@NPow94 idea if you don't have a pool, a lot of people here add an outdoor barrel/tub to complement the sauna.

@@SailInFinland I am currently looking to move my family to a new home and a pool is a top priority! The backyard will be a place we spend the majority of our time when the weather is and I have pictured a small cabin style sauna to be built close by. I think it would be best to have a wood stove for the home sauna. I wonder if it is common in Finland for some to have both an outdoor and an indoor sauna at their homes?

@@NPow94 sounds great. 2 saunas are not unheard off, the indoor would typically be electric and mainly used in the winter (so you don't have to shovel show before heating it ☃️) and the outdoor would be for summer use.

Great story, thanks for sharing.

@@SailInFinland My pleasure!⛵

Really glad you liked it, good luck with your construction project!

If you understand Sauna and you understand the Forest and the Lakes, then you understand the very Soul of Finland.

It's a package so "you get what you get". I'm not familiar enough to know if there then is a simple way to change whisper, I would assume no?

Thanks for watching!

Those are "Hai" -class yachts (Hai = shark). The Hai is a Finnish one-design class developed in the 30's as a cheap, everyman's type of yacht. Nowadays mainly just used for racing with a nicely active class in Finland.

Glad you liked it!

Indeed, wish we had more people/organisations with the means and interest to work in this way.

And he wasn't cheap 😜

Thanks, if you want to see sweat, check out the second video in the series 😅. And indeed, the savusaunas are known to burn quite often, that is why they typically are placed a bit away from other buildings.

Thanks for watching

I'm thinking that the problem is (at least partly) due to the foam, seems like the foam is stopping the deadcat to fully "seal" the mic from the behind? Also, as the general wind noise (from mainly trees around/behind me in the video) creates interference noise from the barrel?

Good luck with the project! Having the sauna as a separate building has many benefits so sound good!

Thanks for stopping by, glad you liked it!

Thanks! Yes, I was rather surprised, especially as this was in no way mentioned in the product specs. Still, for my E-M1 I wanted a regulated output and the 8V works with the E-M1. But getting additional capacity is just so much cheaper using powerbanks so one is more than enough for me.

Aren't they?

John is a good story teller and he has great stories to tell. Hard to beat combo.

Thanks for coming by!

So many tastes in music!

If you ever are out and about Finland ways, then just check out if there are any races going. For the bigger boats (like in the video) there typically are no crew limits so if you ask nicely, I'm sure you can get out for a spin!

@@SailInFinland the waters look a lot like my home waters of Lake Superior: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooeqnZ5mhtx2oqMsi=oF2GpplSEuzOFziL
