It’s freaking cold up there, and saunas are warm, cozy and relaxing. We venture to Lapland to explore the hottest sauna scene in the world.

[@inretrosuspect]

[@klaxocuchulainn2554]

What a life these guys have. Now I actually wanna know how it feels to be in a Sauna

[@johnf.kennedy1536]

before I clicked on the video I said to my self "Its Finland Isn't it."

[@321turn6]

Damn I know where I’m moving next, total isolation from modern civilization, just chill old people who like saunas.

[@vetelisekoilu5852]

I live in Finland where saunas are super common and i personally go to sauna almost every day

[@user-rr2xj2bf3x]

[@AngelVazquez-xh1dh]

I lived quite South in Finland, and everyone had a Sauna in their home. Lapland is not a city, but a region. So the title should be corrected, and mostly because all around Finland, they have sauna at home.

[@rashedulkabir6227]

Are Finnish people introverted?

[@smiauu]

@@rashedulkabir6227 you bet we are!

[@hugonongbri8100]

Joe Rogan should do his first Spotify podacst episode in a sauna !!

[@jyrki2275]

He would die in a finnish real sauna

[@timomastosalo]

It's not just Lapland, where saunas are used as signs of hospitality. It's the whole of Finland where that's the custom. - You are stuffy and weary after traveling: relax in the sauna and take a wash, take a drink and snack after it. Full stomach is not a good idea before the sauna, because you will be panting a bit in the heat and steam.You'll come out warm like after a jogging, plus you're also clean after the sauna. You sweated the dirt out deep within the skin, and washed. You have a soft baby skin, and radiating warmth starting from your bones. And the head has the peace hormones running all through (was it serotonin) so you're floating in a mediative mood - and present in a calm joy. Welcome to sauna,

The ending tied it all together

“What if you didn’t have a sauna” *surprised pikachu face

I dont know who that is, and i know ur comment is a joke, but in an american would just freeze to death in Finland.

[@vedauh]

@@tuurehu3392 unless you had warm clothing on ;-; i live in russia but people in america probably wouldn't just instantly freeze to death if they came to siberia..

[@joergenkarljohanssoniii3848]

@Mousebord 125 I have family in America and it's much colder there than up here in the Arctic circle. Not all of America is warm.

[@dreadpiraterobertsii4420]

I can’t imagine joe rogan in most European countries generally were quite laid back and try to avoid talking about ourselves because we thinks it’s selfish todo so where as Joe rogan loves to talk about himself

[@user-gf8zv4ov2x]

Finland seems like a very cool place

[@calsifer6137]

I miss this chanel. Wish they could come back

[@andrewyashar8276]

I wanna find the salesman who built the mentality there of “sauna first, house second”

[@MrAatami]

Dates back hundreds of years and in a bit more modern times like Finns who moved or settled to North America would build a sauna first which would serve as a "headquarter", a place where you could clean everything, cook and be warm obviously. Still a thing, I have a cottage that's two rooms, bedroom/changing room(saunakamari) and the sauna.

[@generaldraeckos55]

*all of the residence has saunas* me: that's sounds familiar. *MY SUMMER CAAAAAR*

[@KelvinOoooi]
