Fun fact. I was in the army in 1998, and the winter was the worst in recent history. I'm talking -35C for several weeks straight with a bone-chilling wind you couldn't even imagine. Up north it went down to -50C. When at one point the weather eased up a bit, all of us were wearing t-shirts. It was still -10C.

When the winter hits here in Finland, wool socks are my best buddies :D not the least bit fashionable but warm and cozy all the same.

It's not the below 0 temperatures that get me... as long as I have enough layers. It's the +0 rainy humid days, when the humidity creeps through any layers of clothes you might have and goes straight to your bones. I'm always shaking from cold on those days.

Yeah, those days are a killer. Especially when you add max power wind lashing at you. Best thing to do on days like that. Stay in bed :)

You didn't note that you have wear *actual wintershoes/boots* in finnish winter. Also, two to three layers of clothes not more unless you're probably somewhere around Lappland or some skiing place i guess. -Also, the layers of clothes depends on how warm the clothes themselves are you just use a warm and think shirt/jumper and thick warm pants, a proper winter coat or jacket with collar and cawl, perhaps outdoor pants, i would suggest a pair of thick windproof mittens over a gloves in mine opinion and proper, thick, warm scarf - and of course proper wintercap.

I know this IS old video but i would like to add one thing. Clean skin. Lets say one has been at work, comes home and thinks "I just change my outdoors clothing on and take dogs for long walk" or something similar. Wrong.. When IT IS very cold it is important to have your bloodflow working as IT should. And first layer of clothing IS clean and dry skin.

It's very common for young Finnish men to "show" their manliness by thinking that little bit of cold won't kill you. Anyone who has gone through the army will call these kids idiots, and will wrap up warm. By the way long johns or a sweatpants under your trousers are a must when it's below -5 Celcius

ömm who the heck wears 15 layers? you need to have air between the layers. When it was -30 a couple of yers ago I had two long johns (the second being thermal) and obv. toppahousut (someone smarter translate those...) as for the upperbody, thermal shirt, t-shirt, hoodie and again obv. toppatakki.

Very Finnish Problems well I live in Finland to be more exact in Jyväskylä and yes it can get down to -20°C during winter here but that's definitely not mainstream normal temperatures here during the winter are like little bit over or under 0°C and temperatures change quite much during the winter. Btw where do you live in Finland then?😊

Samuel Bruun Ah, Jyväskylä I know it well 👍 I live in Helsinki, so it’s even rarer that we get minus 20. But here it’s the wind that’s a killer. Plus, I’m a delicate Englishman and we’re not evolved for the cold. But, hat tip to you for being so stoic 👊
@samuelbruun5460

Very Finnish Problems Oh I believe that the wind there in Helsinki is bad because of its location by the sea and temperatures like 5-7°C can feel so cold if you get strong and humid wind in winter I've experienced that as well even here in Jyväskylä and it's just awful. And I know that in England it never gets down to -20°C maybe at coldest about -5 to -10°C in England😊 and I think that winter temperatures are changing milder here in Finland as well because of the climate change🤔
