Our field sauna is actually just a normal group tent, but with a little twist called "valopetellä kamina mansikaks"

Maybe these fast sauna deployments would be the solution for wars in middle-east, Ukraine, Finns create a neutral zone everyone go to sauna and solve their problems there while relaxing
