It’s minus 16 degrees in our British Columbia valley as I write these lines. And so here, at my temporary perch in Rochester, in the fair English county of Kent, where the temperature is merely hovering around freezing, I should count my blessings. But part of me can’t help wishing I was back in the Canadians wilds, frost stinging my face, wind howling around my ears, nose red and painful.
However, +90C is too hot in general,+ 80C being the classical “sweet spot”. A different story is, of course, the older tradition of our smoke sauna, in which the temperature can first climb so high that it stings way too much before settling to a very comfortable and “soft”, tending heat. The most health benefits you can get if you keep the sauna around the +80C.
In a lifetime of travel our visit to Grizzly Bear ranch was a standout. So good to read your stories and see that life is good for you. Here's to a successful season. Best Jenny Pynt
