The 6th weird thing you might find is an englishman walking around at a finnish summer cottage, shooting a video. Cheers Joel, thumbs up.
lol! This is very true. Happily, there was nobody around to get freaked out. :) Thanks for the thumbs up
"Speed boat people. Go away!" You sir, have turned Finnish.
Lol! Had to happen eventually :)
As a Northern Minnesotan with Finnish roots, this all looks pretty right.
The insect killer is called sähkökärpäslätkä.
How much do you want to bet I pronounce that very, very wrong? :)
I guess that if you would learn those bitchy vowels precise you could do really well.
Aleksi Erola I want one! Where can they be bought please?
Michele Graham Summertime anywhere in Finland. Online just Google something related like Electric Insect Bug Bat Wasp Mosquito Zapper.
@@VeryFinnishProblems So, electric fly swatter - or e. insect sw.
The birch bark trumpet looks just great!! I have never seen before
Those type of horns work when you blow in them with almost together-pressed lips. It takes some practise, but usually they make both high very ear-piercing noise and a low very loud noise.
Yeah, I used to be able to do that but a small strip fell out from inside and now nothing but a rasping noise. Need to get another one 🙂👍
I've seen the racket in stores in Central New York. We like to electrocute our bugs too. The fish gutting station is familiar too.
Great mind thinks alike! Although, between you and me, I always get a pang of guilt when they fry...unless they're mosquitoes of course :)
I am jealous of your sauna.
Xethmondeus Wave Thanks! Yeah, it’s beauty isn’t it. Although, can’t take credit as it’s my in-laws not mine. Happily, I still get to use it. The löyly is beautiful ✨✨😀
its funny because as a finn these are just normal things to me
You’ve pretty much described cottage country in Ontario, Minnesota, and Manitoba as well. Kittos!
Including the damn speed boats.
My bad prronunciation; Once in Turku somebody asked me: Are you from Helsinki? WTF i'm from Kajaani. An other time taking a Greyhound Bus to Miami, the busdriver asked me: Are you from New York?
just in case you haven't tried it yet, try barbecuing champion mushrooms filled with blue cheese/other soft cheese of your flavor wrapped in bacon! lil bit late for the cottage season but next summer maybe=D
Man! That sounds waaaaay too good. Please make summer come back so I can try this ASAP!
The thing in the bucket is litter/detritus. Karike in Finnish.
kiitos paljon! That's my new word of the day #winning
Sawdust works also.
Very Finnish Problems - You spread a portion of it into the toilet when you are done before going out from it.
You do it to prevent some of the bad smell and the flies. You might notice that the wood dust (at least the pack you'd buy in a store) usually has kind of a citrus smell to it that i think both is because we'd enjoy the smell whlle some of the insects like possible those darn mosqitoes and flies might not like.

There is a odored wood dust in stores?
Do people really buy it?
Karike is the best. Free, easy access and decompose has already started.
Xtreem fait - i haven't personally, i have never needed to buy it mysrlf since my the other of my family and relatives always does it.
Aussies who fish a lot also have those sink fish gutting stations.
I am going to DEMAND I be sent one of those electrified badminton bat bug killing thingies when my daughter & family move there next month!
A bit harsh disciplinary tool to use on your daughter and family, don't you think? xD Joking aside, not sure what you'd do with it moving during the heart of winter either :D How's your first month been?
EDIT: dumb me. Of course it's summer in Australia at this time of year xD derrp
Fish u were here, is my song in summercottage :)
This made me laugh more than it should have :)
I honestly don't know why these objects are considered strange. We have all of them in Croatia, except maybe the horn. We use löyly to pour olive oil onto our bodies when sun bathing, which is our type of sauna.
"electric badminton racket" lol!! I do not want to play with you that is for sure
It would certainly be an interesting game ⚡️😀
I didn't recognize that fish station. I wouldn't have any idea what it is if I would find it on my own 😅
Yeah, I think it's one of my father-in-laws many unique inventions :)
It did feel over the top, we have those electric fly seats in UK. I haven't however seen them sold in keski suomi I've seen plenty of the citronella candles and green spirals. The horn looks more a regional we've never heard of it.
jamie neale I’ll take 4/5 😀👍
About the insect electrifying bat, it usually makes a little high pitch beep sound and trust me when I say you don't wanna try to listen it too close.
press 2 and 3 for 'UHH...' 5 for 'MASSIVE' and 8 for 'I know you're out there'
In Sauna elementary - vihta
Birch leaves tighten into a blooming bundle tied in the other end and you bath with it - smack your body all over
Yeah, we use it in fine style here :) ua-cam.com/video/EMgFFfRFo2E/v-deo.html
7:47 How did you get the Horn of Gondor!?
Lol! Now that would be fun to use in downtown Helsinki :)
insect electrocuting badminton racket :) Oh my... I call it "sähkökärpäslätkä". Compound word, for those not speaking finnish, "Sähkö"= electricity, "kärpäslätkä" is compound of two words, "kärpänen" as fly and "lätkä" (in this case) "swat" or "swatter", ="kärpäslätkä". Yes, I know what it looks like ;) but in this case, name comes from to usage of it, still, you can use it like racket and swat insects from the air and have electricity on.
Makes a lot of sense when you explain it. Kiitos paljon! #hero
Have to say that a lot of your things were quite weird/new to a Finn like me, too. The insect swatter, the giant ladle - you must have an enormous sauna! - the horns, the fish-gutting sink - is anything left... Well, at least, the "ground tree material" (what the hell should we call it in English?-) you throw after your number two in a puucee. Isn't that for two things: It helps with 1. the smell and 2. the decomposition?
The tree thingie is called wood or bark chips.
Besides using it in the loo for stinky smell its also good in the veggie garden soil for fixing up the soil mixed with green compost.
It IS a sink - just not a kitchen sink, but a fish cleaning sink :)
So a very Finnish problem is birch horn impotence? how long did that take to become evident? I am sure if you do go out west to the Norske dwellings, they will show you how to blow that horn again, and blow it you will.
You're so Finnish already - neighbour goes by with his noicy boat, and you're ready to chase him off, for disturbing your peace and quiet :)
You forgot to carry the electric swatter with you all the time.
In an icehockey game between Finland and Sweden the commentator could say things like: "Lisää löylyä pojat" Ok, then the ice would melt, now what?
I've seen these mosquito killer in grocery stores in the US
EShy Finnish grocery stores? 😀
You should join a Finnish Moose Hunting Club / or Ask to Film / at The Local Club !
Electric fly-swatter
I'm a 46 year old Finn and did not recognise #1 and #4.
Will you now be rushing out and getting hold of a bug electrocuting racket? :)
Good to see proper Gear - how to survive at Mökki / Did You catch any fish ?
Hahaha we are special ☺
löyly ladle is in finnish löylykauha
kiitti paljon for sharing. I had no idea. My new Suomi word for the day 💪
Löyly is not the water you throw on the stove, it's the steam that comes to greet you from the stove. So löyly is ex-liquid :)
To explain the word "löyly" is actually mission impossible.
@@kareem8533 Welll... the ancient people thought there's a spirit called löyly, that makes the sound and brings the heat.
- But nowadays I'd say it's simply the heat in the room, especially with the steam. Simple as that. I see no point in trying to mystify it more. It doesn't lose its Finnishness or something, if explained.
@@timomastosalo Very well put! I can agree with "makes the sound and brings the heat". Never heard of any ancient spirits called "löyly".
@@timomastosalo After thinking about it a few minutes I've come to the conclusion that your explanation of "löyly" is spot on. Thank you.
@@kareem8533 That was ancient: so of course we don't hear about it in normal daily language. It's found if you study history about the ancient Finns - like sauna spirits etc.
The animistic time, when every rock and river etc., was thought to have a spirit of it own. I'm not you should think so - I don't :)
So I don't say löyly is not the one that makes the sound and brings the heat: that would be the mystical thinking, that something not physical brings it to us.
Löyly is the steam and heat themselves in sauna. Otherwise it would be just normal vapour, but now it's the steam for cleaning yourself, plus the heat. Because we can say how much is there löyly in the sauna, even before nobody has thrown any water to the stones. Of course it's often asked
how much heat or warmth is there.
