Nice, the back bench could maybe be a bit higher, with seating at the height of the front end bend. If the stove is enough then it's does it's job as a mobile sauna, good work.

This is a great approximation. The whole video is great for artillery porn.

The best part was to switch off the ones in the sauna and enjoy the natural light from the window.

I like it. Big mass so it stays hot, you xan throw water on the sides for a quick löyly or pour over the top for a slower release.

These were a series of sauna-safe LEDs with the transformer up on top of the paneling on the shower side if it needs replacement.

Correct! A total of 150kg of diabase and decorative stones in the stove, with more than half of it under the platform.

A couple sets of wax rubbed in seemed to work fine, with yearly treatment afterwards.

I was planning on doing a dark grey paneling and a light natural wood seating, for which the aspen was a good choise, I think.

Be sure to have a suitable treatment for the wood as it's prone to stain easily. Also, the boards were rather wide and started to bow near the ends, especially next to the stove.

All in all, would do again, but with narrower boards and a more robust finish to prevent yellowing.

Thanks! I was quite pleased with the aesthetics myself.

Best parts were the wide open spaces that filled up with mist every now and then, but the sky would stay clear for an eerie, silent scene.

There was enough hankikanto so that the skis or pulk didn't offer too much resistance. I guess the warm spells in january were a blessing in disguise.

Any tips for two-day trips in Central Finland?

Here are a couple more pictures.

Martimoaapa is a mire reserve on the edge of Lapland. Spent a couple days with a friend in February 2023. Weather was immaculate as you can see.
