The weather in Finland is very cold. Although it is not as cold as Finland where I live, the weather is currently -1 degrees. You need to prepare for winter in the summer.
I also like minimalist life. The more things you have, the more burden it becomes. Simple life is necessary.
About the same temperature here at the moment. Though, it will get to -10 in a day or two, and then who knows by January.
More random things to get attached to for no reason also.
