My son is a US army Medic in Kosovo where a Finn just took over as the international commander. He recognized our last name as Finnish and invited my son to use the Saunas they brought to Kosovo with them any time he wanted.
In winter some Finns like to make "hole in the ice" and swim a little after sauna.
This is a funny old video and it describes very well , that what kind of people Finns are
You cant give up and you are hardy ; Finnish word SISU https://youtu.be/kUOZmwt_2SU
"even in war zones" quite literally, as a Finnish Army reservist I keep hearing that when Finnish peacekeepers deploy to new place where the FDF expects to keep deploying new rotations until further notice, the first group to arrive there are tasked with building a sauna.
