there isnt a sauna in *every* home in finland, but its estimated to have 1 sauna for every 2 people in finland
Mostly every single house does have a sauna. Its rare to find a HOUSE in Finland that doesn’t have sauna. Apartments in the other hand do not have saunas (some do definetly) but usually u will find a shared sauna in the apartment building
@@minnaorvI’ve never seen a house that doesn’t have a sauna haha! And yes, we share saunas in apartments, swimming halls, hotels, even ships!
ALMOST every house , listen :D
In fact there are so many saunas in Finland that if you'd put 2 Finns per sauna there would be some empty saunas left.
It is estimated that there are around 3.2 million saunas in Finland - more than there are cars.
For a population of 5.556 million (2022)
He said drying rack but it is really that it is behind the door and the water drips in to the sink. Everyone has a drying rack but in Finland it is always behind a door.
In finland the dish drying rack is always in a cabinet above the sink. I think that's what he meant by that.
Yes, and it is in fact a Finnish invention 😃
@@juttapietilainen629 no, its invented in america but some reason they never used it
@@antti89993 Eipä olekaan, sen keksi suomalainen Maiju Gebhard, mutta hän ei koskaan patentoinut sitä ja Amerikkalaiset yrittivät omia sen.
@@benitajulin2734 Itse asiassa astiankuivauskaappi (rakenteeltaan erilainen mutta perusidealtaan samanlainen) oli patentoitu Amerikassa jo muutama vuosikymmen aikaisemmin. Siksi Gebhart ja Työtehoseura eivät saaneet sille patenttia Suomessa.
Gebhartin keksimä versio oli toimivampi, ja se yleistyi meillä, toisin kuin amerikkalainen versio joka ei koskaan yleistynyt.
Lmao... I may have just been in Finland once in my life... But there was even a sauna on the floating house we rented at the time with space for 4 or 5 people. xD And then, I got it confirmed on the same trip that there is almost always a sauna in every house. And when you live in an apartment complex, there's often also a shared sauna on the premise. When it comes to saunas in Sweden, it gets progressively more common the further up north you go.
Smaller apartment homes may not have individual saunas, so the public one is important for that reason, just like how every home in Japan has a bathtub, as well as various public bath houses etc (some apartment complexes have their own public baths too apparently, so I assume it's the Japanese counterpart to Finnish public sauna?)
swedish saunas dont count, here we litterally call them swede saunas because they are cold when youre in sweden thinking oh they have a sauna how nice then you go there just to find out its 30 celcius its such a dissapointment might as well not have one at all
@@excancerpoikI have been to plenty of saunas in Sweden in my 35 yo life. I have never heard the word "Svensk bastu". I have never seen a 30c sauna. Are you sure you splasted water on these stones over the generator?
Kaikissa asunnoissa on suihkutila, ellei ole saunaa. Kylpyammeet.. vähän vanhanaikaisia jo.
8:05 I live in Finland and my apartment has a sauna, and we also have a public sauna in the apartment building. IT HAS A POOL. A POOL. But its always cold so... it is fun. Our (my family's) old apartment didnt have a sauna but the apartment building did. The sauna had a balcony with no roof, so in the winter it was really fun to just sit in the snow!
My grandmother who lived in Kemi, Finland, had a shared sauna in the apartment building she lived in. Every resident had their own time once every week when they could use it. My grandmothers standing time was every friday at 20:00-22:00. It was a good way to start the weekend every time we visited from Sweden.
The drying racks are in the cupboard in every single finnish home
The roof over cars work as clouds do. The windshield does not freeze on a cloudy day either. That is because the roof (or the clouds) reflect the residual heat from the ground to keep the windshield from freezing. Even when there is a lot snow on the ground.
Sauna is a definite must. I live at the countryside so I have sauna build in the house but aswell one at an outside building (renovated old barn/cowhouse). Both warms with wood, ofc. I go to sauna at least twice a week.
Some finns definitely have dryers. When I renovated my house it was an old time dream coming alive to have one. But not all clothes should be dried at the dryer!
Summers in Finland are amazing. Lush and green, light 24/7 ❤
Many Finnish homes actually have a dryer, but they're mostly used for things like sheets and towels✨️
Exactly! We have two dryers and two washing machines. We use all of them for clothes, sheets and towels!
Maybe in new homes. We old schoolers prefer normal drying and saving electricity ;)
The only ones you usually see w/ drying machines, are families w/ like 3-4 kids, because you have to be drying shit 24/7 basically
Not all Finnish homes have a Sauna. And I prefer the old fashion ones with a real fire and wood.
But I sometimes wish there was a Sauna you could book, specially during winter.
Think that home is comparable with many Swedish homes too. So I am not sure that's typically just for Finland.
In Sweden there is places that got different kinds of "pools" too, know some have that with shared car/s or other things.
My herritage is Swedish, Finnish, German and Sami... so I have spent lots of time when I was younger in Finland too.
There is no saunas in sweden.
@@Turmootti there is plenty of Saunas in Sweden too. Mybe not as many as in Finland. So stop saying false things.
@@Sanniz No you stop
@@Turmootti I know you are trolling.
I have been in Saunas both in Sweden and Finland.
@@Sanniz Turmootti is probably a bit not understanding what is says. Or a crazy one if it claims not to be a troll, which it obviously is 😂🤣. A Sweden without a Sauna is like Mexico without tacos, really!!!
Most of homes do have saunas but when you live in a block house it's not always possible, therefore every Building will have one :) It's just something we feel is necessary, and it's super relaxing. YOu can watch 10k ASRM vids and it won't give you the relaxation that comes from a sauna! :)
it's a tradition, at least in our family to go to the sauna once a week. Usually on saturdays or fridays, and of course you go to sauna on christmas eve.
You forgot the most important one, juhannussauna! And of course darrasauna, the second most important one.
He's facinated by the drying rack because he's not from Finland but from a country were they do not use them, Simply! I have two of these racks and put them outdoor at summertime, simply perfect! We plan our laundry days.
The dish drying rack was actually invented in Finland
The dish drying CABINET was invented in Finland. Racks have been around since age immemorial.
@@maestrobash7822 yea i meant the cabinet
Ei pidä paikkaansa. Moinen on patentoitu jenkeissä paljon aiemmin kuin ovat yleistyneet täällä. Jenkeissä siitä ei jostain syystä tullut hittiä koskaan. Ehkä jos keksijä olisi osannut markkinoida tuotettaan niin se olisi saattanut lyödä läpi globaalisti.
Not all homes have sauna, but then there is apartment common sauna, where you can make reservation, usually once a week and it costs a little bit, added to your rent or compensation if you live ownership apartment.
most households that have larger spaces for dryers do have them. ofc every household does have a drying rack but if it is too cold outside to use it we just use the dryer.
The first drying racks, 135 and 100 cm wide, were produced out of wood by the Finnish Work Efficiency Institute in Vilppula, Finland in 1945 and the industrial production began in 1948 at the Enso-Gutzeit factory, with an updated plastic-coated steel wire model introduced in 1954
All countries in the northern hemisphere, eh? You sure Egyptians or Jamaicans scrape their icy car windows? 😂 Love you for checking out Finland ❤️
Think he meant countries near the
Artic circle 😊
I’m aware, but he changed his wording to northern hemisphere. And that’s everything north of the equator 😉
I’m not sure but I think Teppo Haapoja is infact Finnish but has grown up in Canada or something like that. At least his name is totally Finnish. 😅 his brother Matti also has a photography channel. But they do sound american/canadian and not at all how Finnish people sound when talking in English. Finnish people sound like Kimi Räikkönen when talking English…
Yeah, the sauna thing is no joke or exaggeration :D Even my small 35 m² apartment has its own sauna in the apartment. Of course there are ones without saunas, but it is very much a basic feature in Finnish houses and many apartments as well.
Also, it's definitely not snowy all the time, just during winter. We do have four distinct seasons (although spring might often be a bit debatable). Summers are shorter than in many countries more to the middle and south of Europe, of course, but they are warm. Depending on the year, the summer temperatures during the day in the south of Finland are usually somewhere around 18-28 °C (lower when it's rainy and higher when it's sunny obviously). Heatwave usually means 29-32°C, and if I remember correctly, the highest summer temperature in Finland was around 37°C.
Our summers are amazing, you should visit if you like music festivals, going to sauna, swimming in lakes, doing BBQ...
Not all Finnish have saunas - depending on the block of flats, some of them have a common sauna that all the flats share :)
Summers. Just now (beginning of July) 15 degrees celsius and raining. In May (and only a few days ago, too) it was 30 (almost for the whole month of may in row nearly 30 and without rain).
So it depends. Today this, tomorrow - who knows. 😁
I think you in UK would need the saunas even more than us, as your homes are colder in winter.
Wouldn't give the away, still
That drying rack is Finnish invention.
Teppo is actually Finnish guy, living a long time in Canada.
We actually have more saunas than cars in Finland
Having a drying rack for laundry doesn't actually save any space though. He has plenty of space on top of his washing machine for a dryer. If anything, the drying rack takes up space because you have to hang your clothes on it for such a long time.
I thought he is a Finn before he told he grew up in Canada 😅
We have drying racks when I lived in Australia
The above the sink drying racks in a cupboard are a Finnish invention. And no, America doesn't have them. Neither do the Brits. A separate rack on the desktop is NOT the same thing at all. My wife is American and during our early days in my old apartment we didn't have a dishwasher and I always wondered why she dried the plates and stuff with a rag before putting them away. This went on for some months before I actually asked her why she's doing that when she could just put them in the rack. It was a lightbulb moment... "Oh. Ooohhh... That's what it's for??" And I was like yeah I thought it was obvious. But no, it wasn't. :) And after she even got a little angry about why I hadn't told her. It just never even occurred to me. :D
Someones in Finland have 2 saunas. Indoor and outdoor
Those cabinet drying racks are a Finnish thing and that’s probably Why he said it.
Our summers are quite similar to English summers. The median daily maximum in July in London is 23 C while it is 21 C in Helsinki and a bit warmer off the coast. Northern England and Scotland are roughly as cool as the far north of Finland in the summer. The winters are usually completely different. Daily maximums are a few degrees below freezing in December, January and February in southern Finland while the British isles see daily maximums a few degrees above freezing. Persistent snow exists only at higher elevations in Scotland during the winter. Finnish winters are typically snowy everywhere in the country. But it's possible that there is no snow on the ground for weeks on end in the winter while -30 C is possible even in the south during a cold snap.
The British isles are cooled down by the Atlantic very much in the summer. I remember an afternoon I spent in Brighton in July 2006. 33 C in London, 27 C in Brighton. But the water near Brighton Pier was 14 C, which is why Brighton was so much cooler than London.
Forgot the first thing...door and lock. Doors are actual sturdy doors not flimsy mesh frames and locks actually lock the door safely.
Usually one key fits every lock you have, even in shared doors or padlocks! Travelling and struggling with locks abroad is like being transportet to stoneage. It would make sense, from finnish pov, developing one the most important features in home would have been prioritized :D Like in spain, theres like every lamp post covered with locksmith adds. No wonder.
Info: The dish drying rack was invented by a Finnish designer Maiju Gebhard between the years of 1943' -44'.
False. The dish drying rack was invented by an American Chandler Vashti who even patented it in 1876. Maiju Gebhard only popularized the concept in Finland in 1940s.
Hi, Dwayne! Summers in Finland are great, beautiful and not too hot! Check out some views on Google for instance. Or watch some videos made by visitors from Britain, the USA or Australia.
Btw, the climate in Finland is not that different from that of Britain, that is, in southern Finland. The only difference is that we may have more snow in the winter, but not always. The far North, Lapland, beyond the Arctic Circle, that's another story.
You were absolutely right about the wall-to-wall carpets: We had those, too, in the 1970s and 80s, but just as you said, they disappeared in the 90s.
Also, I like your comments and your personality! And you have such a pleasant voice to listen to! Hope that you'll continue with your videos! 👍
This summer has been very varm so far. Like today it has been +27 degrees (celsius) and it has been about +23 to + 28 for at least 2 weeks now. But it can be quite cold in summers too. One year it was + 10 on Christmas and + 10 in midsummer.
Its never been +10 on CRHRISTMAS
@@JammyRSCL yes it has
okey almost 10 degrees + 8
@@kh684 maybe 5
Last few years a lot of hot summers in Finland. Too much is too much.
I would never survive without the sauna, totally normal in Finland! :)
10:42 So TV is not allowed to be seen and had to be caged behind two vertical steel bars, obstructing the view. They should just sell that thing if its purpose is to be hidden.
As a father of two toddlers, a dryer is a must have😂 And sauna, kids love it.
This was all true. My 10 year old boy can speak fluent English. We are a bit weird, but happy with good Sense off humour.
The windshield doesn´t cool too fast because engines heat circulates at the back of that open carrage. Drive backwards there and it will. You can also blast cold air from your ac 2-3 mins when you park and it doesn´t freeze. If you park at open area that is..and I have 2 saunas in my house😉
Actually first patent of dish drying cabinet is from USA 1932 by Louise R Krause.
i wisited a friend i finnland that had an apartment on the ten floor up with a huge sauna for 8 people,,and you can go to the gasstation and get strong coold beer until 9 in the evening. that was 20 years ago..now there is saunas everywere and both inside and outside and all beer in every grocerystore.
You dont spiik in Saana in Finlandia
The Finnish summer is short, but with less snow
My 28^m studio apartment has a sauna.
Home without Sauna is no home at all period!! :)
Even Burger king in Helsinki has a sauna 😂
Not all homes have sauna, but there is more saunas than cars in finland
Finland doesn't have that many passenger cars, only roughly 1 per 2 people and the total amount of vehicles that are in-use is slightly under the total population (as of the first quarter of 2023). Still, that doesn't mean that ~2 saunas for every 3 people is overkill. The total amount of cars overall was surpassed by saunas only lately though, as they have been nearly the same for a good while.
Some of this information may be incorrect, but I tried my best to check it for sure. (Funny how I've come to check the amount of vehicles here in Finland for 3 years in a row for various reasons)
Sauna isn`t cool -- it is hot!
Having a sauna is in a home is no more cool that having a drying rack, really. It's just normal.
The dryingrack is called astiankuivauskaappi an its invented in finland
Ei pidä paikkaansa. Moinen on patentoitu jenkeissä paljon aiemmin kuin ovat yleistyneet täällä. Jenkeissä siitä ei jostain syystä tullut hittiä koskaan. Ehkä jos keksijä olisi osannut markkinoida tuotettaan niin se olisi saattanut lyödä läpi globaalisti.
Yleinen myytti, joka pyörii Suomessa, joten tässä on käynyt hyvin ymmärrettävä väärinkäsitys. Tämä kuitenkaan ei ole totta, kuten @ArchieArpeggio jo mainitsi, en kuitenkaan sanoisi, että vain ~15 vuotta olisi "paljon aiemmin" historiallisessa skaalassa, mutta monia muita keksintöjä on Suomessa tehty.
@@elmortti Tuolloin se ero on ollut aika paljon. Toki kun ollaan menty melkee 90 vuotta eteenpäin niin se 15 vuotta ei pitkältä ajalta enää kuulosta.
Suomi on niitä harvoja maita, joissa kaappiin integroitu kuivausteline on yleisesti ottaen käytössä joka kämpässä. Kun taas esim. Ruotsissa yleisesti ottaen on tiskipöydälle asettavia malleja enimmäkseen myynnissä eikä kaapeissa moisia ole.
Astiat on myös helpompi ottaa suoraan käyttöön kaapista kun lautaset ovat telineessä pystyssä entä jos ovat perinteissä kaapissa päälekkäin. Sekin on käytännöllinen puoli asiassa.
Two things a finnish man never loans: his car and his wife/girlfriend. In that order.😂
There was a lot of Nordic immigration to North America in the 19th century. That is the reason he looks so Nordic.
there are more saunas than cars in finland
We use drying machines😂
bttw Finland has more Saunas than cars... we got roughly 3.3mil of em and only 3.2mil cars.... (2.8mil normal passenger cars)
I live in apartment in Finland, and i do not have wood floors, own sauna, own outdoor terrace, etc.
But this apartment building has a sauna owned by the building society, where you can book a 1-hour shift and it costs money.
So not every Finnish home is a same, and this home what you see in this video, is not cheap one.
It is pretty average home
Luv your video❤
Finland is beautiful plase,
And yes
I am from Finland= mä oon Suomesta (hyvä paikka vaikkkakin talvet on liian pitkiä)
We had drying racks like that in our kitchens here in Sweden in the 40's-50's-60's but then they went out of fashion when the dishwascher came.
I thought modern dishwashers have this drying function...
Never lived in a house here in Sweden that didn't have a sauna. A lot less common in apartments though.
Apartments in Finland have atleast one sauna usually
7:55 We have three
You have to listen are you dead yet by children of Bodom itse very Finnish Song
whats happenin in the bio. Criminal activity.
Well we do have drying racks but their not around anymore. Mainly a hotel thing here in America. Even those have gone too ovscurity as well. And also we dont calling drying racks their more like a pantry type thing sorey i got more into your guys stuff then i have America things even tho I've never left the country your guys ways of doing things is way better then here in America
It also may depen where you go here in America as well will depen on what kind of drying rack you see here in America
We got them on walls so you can hang your hand drying towl up or you got your classic racks like what you see in the uk or finland
Also should mention they wouldn't be in your typical spots like you would suspect they be in. America is fucking werid dude. Even i myself someone thats lived in this country all my life still dose not understand this country.
Finnish startet that dish drying thing
And we don't belong to Scandinavia!!!
Did I say Scandinavia?
@@dwaynesview the dude in the video did
No differences.
It's pronounced "sauna", not "soona".
In at least 2 videos about Finalnd, you've written Swdish instead of Finnish in the description
tervehdys suomesta kuivaus telineessä on hyvänä puolena vielä se että vaate kuivuessaan vapauttaa kosteutta ilmaan .... 99% homes has sauna
What do you mean by a Swedish home? =)
carpets are nasty.
BS. Quite a few, if not most, homes have dryers as well as drying racks.
Not every homes have sauna
wtf, every Finnish home have dryermachine! or the washingmachine have drying option. That is so old way.
Typical Canadian lmfao
Seventh comment hehe
Drying rack probably comes from sweden.
We had it in the 50s.
Now we dont use it any more because of dishwashers
No it does not.
the inventor of drying rack is finnish
Modern and minimalistic 😹 Well maybe it's common in Finland but I haven't see xD
Many creative people in here like (eatrhy) colours, plants and hand made details for example 😻🌱
Fun fact.
There are more saunas then people in Finland
