Thanks! Perusing as I type!

We both have early sauna memories as teen aged ski "racers" at the local nordic center owned by a local Finnish family who imported skis, a traditional wood-fired sauna, and Scandinavian attitudes toward running around in the snow in the buff in full view of the neighbors, good times!
As a young child our neighbor was from Sweden and a had an electric sauna set up I remember well in their house. We also have a friend who picked up a portable “tent” sauna from Russia that’s awesome and really scary to use. Good memories though(can’t find a link to a pic of it)!
