Arctic Finland: Too cold, a bit cold, warm, or too damned warm?
When I have to go to the outside toilet at the camp, it's too cold! When I walk through the forest in daylight without a hat it's a bit cold. When I come into the containers with all my winter clothes, it's too warm. And when we're all having dinner together in the container - 12-15 people, it really is damned warm!
