[@chrisoseland4643]

I'm moving back to minnesota from colorado at the end of the month. I had the same idea. So happy to see I'm not the only kook out there!

[@lennartleible6722]

Kompliment, tolles Video, klasse Idee und noch bessere Umsetzung. Bin schon gespannt auf neue Ideen und Projekte.

[@northandbeyond]

neue Ideen immer her damit!

[@timquain5341]

As a fellow Aussie who has done 2 x 1 month holidays in Finland, man I am so jealous. This is the dream. I miss that place so much. And making a portable sauna and drinking Finnish beer..... Sauna sausages.... I need to stop. Living the dream mate.

[@northandbeyond]

Hi Tim, Thanks for the comment man. Well when the world opens up again feel free to head north here with some friends and take the sauna to the fjords and you can do it all again... Camp oven cooking sauna, beers, fjord swimming... Live your dream dude!

[@paulbrittan1701]

I meant to say I loved the porthole. A really nice touch.

[@northandbeyond]

Yeah we thought so too... 13kg of storytelling haha... Straight from an old ship to the easy life in a sauna. we love it there and it compliments the whole back end.... It was a terrific idea from Henning

[@karenhiilinen8530]

Great job what an amazing adventure you are having from the Aussie Finn Hannu

[@WindRythym]

Hannuuuuuuu... Man how are you? Its great to hear from you mate. Im glad you like the sauna, wish you cod try it out man, its super nice. Take care buddy

[@northandbeyond]

Glad you enjoyed it, We are making sure this sauna gets the best use possible.. haha It makes me think of yours you built on the farm there.

[@sebastianlangner3959]

Awesome, as always - now I want also a sauna!

[@northandbeyond]

Thanks mate. Come up North and take it for a ride!

[@lopsangtashi6652]

nice job and nice small thank you

[@northandbeyond]

big thank you from us 🙃

[@leannebrittan8271]

great coincidence regarding the video launch date; congratulations !! Hovercraft !! oh yes please!! another vicarious experience, thank you. oxoxo

[@northandbeyond]

I would love to build a hovercraft episode... however we might have to wait for bigger funds to come in to tackle that one...

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

I not only want a sauna now - I want to move up north as well!

[@northandbeyond]

Moving up North should be seriously considered, it's just awesome here... beside cold and dark in the moment 😂

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

@@northandbeyond Haha well it's dark and rainy anyway in Stockholm, so...

[@WindRythym]

I know where you can get a sauna for rent when you come up here haha

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

@@WindRythym Haha, but I'll have to pick it up myself I guess?

[@WindRythym]

@@ThreeStarVagabond Not necessarily mate... we can deliver the sauna to where you will be staying (fire it up if you like) and pick it up when you are finished. you just enjoy it like its yours and we do all the rest haha...... if you would like we can also prepare a meal over the fire while you are baking yourself so its ready for when you finish... think about it man.

[@studiohudson]

There are no words, great stuff. Next episode a whale carcass hover craft!

[@northandbeyond]

Thanks! whales are on top of our list, we are just missing the hovercraft in the moment. haha!

[@alkghd]

I discovered your channel a bit late. But i really enjoy your videos!

[@Reijkiavik]

So Cool! I want to try!

[@JROME69]

Yessss lads! Had the idea of doing this myself over here in Australia and came across the right video for stealing ideas, thanks and much love 🙏🏻 ❤️

[@UnairOnline]

Amazing 👏

[@northandbeyond]

Thanks!

[@Marcus_Wilson]

Who is that beardless man!!!!

[@northandbeyond]

Marcus.... Hope you are well mate. Welcome to 2021 I hope you have a great year

[@federicobottos5302]

Well, now i want to see the overcraft 🤘🤘🤘

[@NDR801]

Absolutely love your channel. Seriously keep up the great content.

[@northandbeyond]

cheers mate! great that you like it.

[@SailingBeaver]

Yew what a sick idea. Good effort on the build and loved the vid. If we make it up that way we’ll come and rent the Porthole 🤙

[@northandbeyond]

Please do! We are building soon a second one. Seems like Sauna in the Northern wilderness is a thing!

[@nielsdinkelaar5915]

That was great content! How do you not have more subs

[@northandbeyond]

Thanks mate! We are working on it

[@squidcaps4308]

@@northandbeyond I came here from reddit, r/Finland..

[@ronson-natsarim]

You should have gone with a wood-fired sauna oven from Savotta! 🙂

[@kesztyn]

Where did you guys get this great ideas for next episodes?! :D :D :D i love yours sauna, and i love saunas we had in Kirkenes!

[@northandbeyond]

We had Hennings trailer just sitting there in the yard.... and we wanted a sauna haha lets combine the two... and the idea worked out well we think... The KKN sauna was good.... but this one mate, is terrific! especially when the aurora shows. Glad you love it mate. Im going to write a how to blog that will be on the www.north-beyond.com website soon, so if you are interested to make your own you can check it out.

[@kneeshot]

You have chosen your upload date wisely: Finnish sauna culture was chosen to the Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage list today.

[@northandbeyond]

haha, yes have seen that in the news. We are just happy that we finally finished, not just the Sauna also this little film.

[@johnsimpson747]

What kind of timber did you use to line the sauna? Great idea man . I’m so keen to do something similar

[@szabomatyas3496]

Awesome project! Do you know how much the whole sauna weighs? I'm planning on building one too in the future, but I'm concerned that I have to upgrade my car first to be able to tow the weight.

[@northandbeyond]

Well the trailer can carry 2 tons, we assume the sauna has about 1.2 t (1200 kg) - the next one will be build into a horse trailer, so we do not have to weld a metal cage.

[@aaronsimmons4675]

first time to this channel. big sauna guy, looking to build a sauna trailer for my van/home too! what an awesome channel guys! love your vibe. can’t wait to watch more of your videos!

[@JCImageInc.]

I got HIGH just watching that. OOOh baby that cold water, so gooooood!

[@northandbeyond]

HAHAHA... It was god but I had to force myself ... I'm a complete sook when it comes to cold water and the idea was to stay in the water for a whole minute...

[@JCImageInc.]

@@northandbeyond It's rough for sure, but the cold has been one of the best teachers I have ever had. And a minute is a LOOONG time in water that cold, good job mate!

[@dominik7153]

hey there such an awesome project. what steh size of the trailer

[@northandbeyond]

Hei, thanks man! the trailer is 3 meters by 1.6 meters and has a payload of 2 tones.

[@tadasvaiciulis8549]

Great job looks owosame! I think it better to paint the metal cage before you screw it to the wood :)

[@steppo99]

where did you buy the red sweater you were wearing at the beginning of the video?

[@Tanner_Lan]

Super cool! What was your cost to build this? What would you do differently if you did the build again?

[@trinityjonathan]

Great content! can you share the dimensions of the trailer?

[@pablol.5168]

hello friend what are the measurements of the base of the car to have a comfortable sauna, very good idea congratulations

[@northandbeyond]

3 meters by 1,6 meters

[@thedarkknight6159]

Hi, is it possible to buy that portable Sauna?

[@northandbeyond]

We are building a second one soon. Are you living in Norway?

[@thomashoy6411]

how did you fix the light? where did you got the electrical from?

[@northandbeyond]

We installed a 12 volt car battery under the bench

[@etruretyutyju]

Beautiful build. The link to your website isn't working, getting a 404 error

[@northandbeyond]

Thanks for the heads up, we will repair this

[@benwatkins-s5v]

Did you put any vents in here?

[@northandbeyond]

Yes, we installed a passive vent behind the oven on the floor and another one at the top of the door. We believe that larger or additional vents could further improve heat distribution.

[@Go-Sauna]

If you find yourself in the American West, let’s have a steam!

[@riccardo213]

That's a great project and finish! May I ask how big the trailer is? 10 X 6?

[@BomberRex]

bekommt man sowas auch mit deutschem TÜV hin?

[@Gespraechskunst]

Solange du die Sauna nicht mit dem Anhänger verschraubst, gilt sie offiziell als Ladung und benötigt somit keinerlei Abmahme.

[@thOMas-ej4yn]

hi. i lived in tromso half year and missed this. now in new zealand building a sauna trailer. what timber did u use for the inside?

[@northandbeyond]

We used pine - it is okay but for the benches maybe harder wood is a better option.

[@robpivato4227]

The screw tooth...LOL hopeyour eye is better

[@borolu3353]

Do you got any ventilation in the sauna?

[@northandbeyond]

Yes, we have a ventilation hole down behind the oven and one on top above the door. Works very well.

[@vilma8184]

What you used as a power source for your sauna?

[@northandbeyond]

75 ah car battery in an insulated box under the bench. We also add a computer fan with a thermostat in case it gets to warm.

[@innerpeace4493]

I love this video!!! This is my dream to build a mobile sauna and take it to epic places!! Wanna help me build one??? Thanks!!!❤

[@alexboniball7243]

Can we just admit that this is a story about an ex ABBA member trying to deal with retirement

[@northandbeyond]

Best comment for a long time🤣

[@WindRythym]

Hello Alex... Haha you want a pair of those flares don't you? 🥰 Admit it! I'll make you some haha

[@avtv4321]

is enough for a trailer up to 750kg ? no overloaded?

[@northandbeyond]

We used a 2.000 kg - 750 kg with our set up might have been to small.

[@lindahiggins]

really amazing project, we’ll done! To ask a daft question though, what is the electrical power source to drive the sauna oven and lights? Is it a petrol/diesel generator? Thanks 🙏🏿

[@northandbeyond]

The Sauna oven is heating with wood, the lights work with a 12Volt battery

[@alexv259]

I’ve watched so many DIY saunas. I’ve noticed MAJOR difference between EU and U.S. builders. In majority of EU builders, like this video, there is absolutely nothing that could be called “INSULATION” around the walls, ceiling and the floor. On the other hand, all the U.S. builders exhaustively wrap the whole sauna with all different exotic insulation. I have a feeling that the American version is EXTREMELY overkill, believing air exchange between outside and inside walls is a ripoff. On the other hand, I think the EU version makes much more sense because the inside heat and water evaporation is much more overwhelming that makes absence of 100% insulation much more enjoyable sauna experience. I appreciate to know people’s thoughts on this.

[@northandbeyond]

I understand your point. We’ve been using this sauna for over three years, and we’ve never felt the need to insulate the walls. Even in windy conditions at -30 degrees Celsius, we’ve had no issues. It might be that our oven is a bit powerful for such a small space, which could be why we don’t miss the insulation. From my experience in Finland, the home of saunas, none of the outdoor saunas I encountered had insulation; they relied on thick wooden planks and a strong oven instead.

[@corywadedavis]

FF to about 9 minutes for sauna build

[@-joe90]

Clothing sauna 🤔.....is Saxon puritan style ... German and viking style is naked !!!!!

[@northandbeyond]

well for youtube that would be no go ;)

[@gfdrthjigvtyhnhyg]

5% of this video has anything to do with a sauna

[@GlennGoryl]

When did so-called "adults" start acting like children?

[@northandbeyond]

What boring life you have, browsing youtube and writing comments like this.

[@mototarka]

This must be the Guiness record of how useless can video about building sauna can be....
