party at 30 below ? ![(insane)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/PqZfpWynQhwEfDnTE0AF.gif) Yes sir
Sauna, hot tub or even a fish house, some butterscotch schnapps, a bon fire and a grill going , swimsuits on (with your snowmobile suit and long johns drying) Crystal clear skies and nothing but the sound of the woods talking.
Too fun...Fish house. One Feb Morning I was getting ready for work and went out to start my truck. I kept hearing a crunch chunch crunch. The guy who was going to ride with me hadn't showed and I drove to get him figured his vehicle wouldn't start 45 below ya know. He lived about a mile as the crow flys and 2 miles to drive. Sure enough his vehicle didn't start and the crunch crunch was him walking over. He was a mile away and you could hear the crunch of the super frozen snow that far away through the woods. Air so calm you can hear a train 6 miles away and a car coming for several miles. Pair of snow shoes and full moon, 40 below, you're the only one in the world. Haven't seen 40 below in quite a few years, used to be several weeks each year of it. Coldest I seen it was 57 below I think in 96.

MsAli toiv0"super frozen snow" "his vehicle wouldn't start 45 below" My employer sent me to Sweden I believe winter of 85' when the Baltic Sea froze. Landed in Copenhagen and I had to get me and 2 electrical engineers to a small town in Sweden. Yea right, cross the North Sea with ice burgs floating by. Then a taxi to Almhults Bruk Sweden. That was a nightmare. Transportation totally paralyzed. Had to take a hovercraft to get to Sweden. Almost a helicopter. Desperado taxi to Almhults. Never travelled to the cold world after that trip. Now c'mon, there is no gain in having those kind of temperatures. The sauna sounds great ! I was a bit nervous sitting in a sauna naked w/a bunch of dudes whilst waitress served us dinner and vodka. The Finn walked out and broke a hole in the ice of the hotel swimming pool and we jumped in the water from the sauna, again, totally naked where the world could see us. Do y'all walk around naked too ?

But then you have to figure out how to get the 6000 pounds to the origination dock and destination dock. The cube van solves that problem since you can load/unload where the rocks are and end up.

It goes down to 10F in Georgia occasionally. About 10 minutes and you're near death. No way dude. It cost about $230 average on medium to large pits. If under 150 pounds much cheaper because they can go Fed Ex ground. 10 above is shorts and tshirt weather. Got to keep the Sorels on though, feet get cold Ha, not this white boy.

The Finnish have a weird sense of humor. Love the part, The neighbors dog is running down the road, he must have been in swimming because the end of his nose is wet.

The Finns, Norwegian's and Swedes apparently aggravate each other. The Norwegians and the Swedes seem to have a respect of some sort for the Finn. As if the Finns are 'rough around the edges'. Each of them saying this is the other's coffee cup: ![](http://static1.squarespace.com/static/52f366cae4b0b5c2c6471998/5379d284e4b0cb63d6fbf706/5379d2c1e4b05f3bc93615e0/1400492738943/day+11+Hard+to+Handle+Cup.487.jpg)

Do y'all walk around naked too ? who goes sauna with clothes on? Who jumps in the hotel swimming pool slap naked in public when -20F ? Those $astards took photos and sent them back to the states, with manhood not looking it's best. Posted on the office bulletin board when I came back. What are friends for anyway ?
