My brother in law is from Moscow. He built a banya in the back yard here in the USA. Just like this with shower using wood for the fire its really nice. He even did the thing with the leaves pretty cool! 😂
And I thought only Finns were crazy enough to do that😵 I love that the uncle is hiding a vape while dad is like “let’s chill a massive bottle of beer”😂
@@PaulV. True that living in Russia isn't like living in Venezuela, but it's still depressing, compared to Western countries. Also, supporting dictator PooTin with taxes is bad.
@@SwordOfApollo They told you this on CNN, well, live in this paradigm, it's even funny, you're like small children, your eyes haven't opened to the end yet, and you're already judging things that you don't even have a clue about! And they also tell us something about propaganda, go look in the mirror!
Hello Agent Nesty from the USA. I just love your sense of humor that makes your videos so funny. I laughed all the way through it 😅😂 Your dad looks like a bathhouse professional and you have a great family 😊 Love your videos!!
I don't have snow in my country, Malaysia🇲🇾. But I enjoys your video because you are hillarious, funny as well😂 and I gained more knowledge about Russia and it's rich cultures 😍⭐
1:04 In the US this is called "potpourri" pronounced "po-por-ri". People use it in little heaters to naturally scent their homes. There are many different kinds in the stores not many people make their own. (Most Americans are helpless when it comes to making products at home).😅 5:23 Ah...memories😂 Thank your family for sharing a bit of their life.
But you should not scream when rolling in the snow. Be hard💪 and restrain and only breath in an out.👱👸 Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 also a sauna country like Finland 🇫🇮 It's better with ice bath but snow will due.... Nice video.
Oh my gosh, Nesty that was wild! From sauna to snow back to sauna? OMG, that is only for the hardiest of body and spirit. It’s cool to watch but don’t think I could ever try. Bravo, for the family spirit 😊
Hello Nastya! I want to express my admiration for your commitment to such self-discipline. I understand that the ritual you shared in your video is believed to have therapeutic benefits. While I have no doubt about its effects, I don't think I could personally withstand the process. Thank you for sharing such a fascinating video with us, even though it made me feel inadequate in comparison!
Just came home from sauna. But as it’s public sauna so it’s not as „hard core“. the automatic „Aufguss“ is just not the same as if a master does it. - jumping into the snow afterwards is awesome. I actually preferre it or ice water to the shower as it’s a fast cold rush.
Block banya? and not wood? Not sure how I feel about this. ( But it is very nice 🙂 Anyhow, You do not need to "slay" the word. You can just say the word. 🤣😂. Just having fun. Your English is very good. I enjoy your humor very much. I am happy you are making more videos now.
@@раздангригорян Yes, I agree. I have seen banya in city's. But they are in a heated building. I have also seen them in very large mansions. But they are also located inside the main building, with a door going outside. But most traditional banya are made of wood for good reason. Russia is COLD! 😁
That's crazy. Yikes 194 ° (F) when the average body temp is 98.6° (F) is kind of like a crab or lobster 🦞🦀 getting boiled in a pot 🥘 lol and Thanks for sharing it was another Awesome 😎 video . One more thing greetings from Philly USA 🤘🫶🙌✝️🙏🙏🙏
@@jamesmurray5934 It has health benefits but its not safe to go into icy water after sauna alone, because u can drown. I haven't heard nobody has died in Finland for doing that snow and sauna combination :D And allmost everyone uses sauna every week/ month
Do tell your whole family thank-you for sharing their Bathhouse experience with us! Not at all common in the US. Especially the screaming in the snow while wearing only a towel part...
The camera does not work due to temperature differences. Water condenses on a cold lens. It is best to let the temperature of the camera adjust to the surrounding environment. This is practically impossible in a hot sauna, unless you want to destroy your camera.
Best wishes to you and yours from Washington state! And thank you for sharing this time with your family; it warms the heart! Two takeaways: 1. The dog looks awesome! 2. People who like warm beer are indeed perverts. 🤣 I’m English on my mother’s side, but unlike much of England, I’ll never embrace beer that isn’t cold!
A few years ago I was at a lake in Себеж. There was a banya there! But it was in summer! There were several runs lasting about 4 to .5 minutes. After every trip to the banya we ate heartily and drank vodka! That was very unusual for me as a German...but I had a lot of fun 😋
Way back when, I went to massage school. On Friday afternoons, we got to use the sauna for free, so we did. We would put towels down on the seats and sit on the top row, after rigging a drip onto the thermostat. That way, it would get up over 200 F. Aftter awhile, your would need to go outside and turn on the cold shower. SO strange to feel the water flowing over you, but no sense of temperature. Once the water starts to feel cool, time to go back inside.
I hope the neighbors know you're doing banya or they might call the police on all the screaming! 😂😂😂 Seriously this looks like an awesome tradition and I'd love to try it!
Как раз тоже из баньки домой пришёл))) все те же самые банные "ритуалы", а как хорошо после того как поваляешься в сугробе снова зайти погреться в баню! Просто кайф)))) я думаю, если бы я даже жил в теплом климате, где не бывает зим, всё равно построил бы себе баню и парился, все эти души просто не сравнимы с банькой))))
i would like to try a sauna someday. i dont know how you guys can go from hot to cold like its nothing. i would personally break, or rather my lungs would. as for the herb ritual it reminded me of what so shamans and spiritists do in parts of ...ahem....latin america. they do the same exact thing to drive away the bad vibes. i wonder if hole thing came from baba yaga's influence in rus culture. just guessing here. anyhow, love your videos agent nesty because of the humor and because to put it honestly you are HOT! will look forward to your next video
A lot of similarities to a Lakota/Dakota sweat lodge. Pre lodge many fast. Meal is afterwards in which we make a spirit plate which is served first before any else eats. To get yours like a Native lodge you would need singing, a drum, and absolute darkness. And rather than leave the sauna/lodge at will there is usually 4 "doors" for the 4 directions in which the next bucket of water is introduced for the next round. This is the time that some may use to step out and come back and is usually no more than a few minutes. Last lodge I did was so hot I was almost ready to peek my head out to the cold air under the lodge tarp. I like them crazy hot. This time is meant for reflection and prayer.
This video was so enjoyable, educational and interesting. I’m a fan of the Russian sauna. I’d love to try it. Your family sauna is awesome. Seems like such an amazing way to spend time with family. I’m such a big fan of your charisma, but now also your family’s charisma as well. They seem like such good sports, fun and supportive. Such good energy. ❤
Traditions are an important part of our lives and cultures. Glad to see you participate and then carry on them in your own way. When I was younger, I loved the sauna. First 30 minutes in hot tub, then 30 minutes in sauna, then 30 minutes in cold plunge pool. It really shocks your system. Afterwards drinking lots of water.
Here in Northern Canada saunas are very popular, but jumping in snow that’s for Finns and crazy Russians, but jumping in the lake is normal. Important safety tip, break the ice first!
In my town in Bulgaria we have small pools with mineral water (something like a jacuzzi), surrounded by a river. When we go there, we enter the hot water (it is about 50°C) and then jump into the river. It's not like banya, but we use what we have. I love your videos
That seems crazy, but since everyone who does it survives and says it's great, there must be something to it. I've sat in hot saunas and steam rooms, but the closest I've gotten to this is sitting in an outdoor hot tub in falling snow, which is actually pretty nice (except for when you have to leave the building and get into it). I don't know why it would have therapeutic value. First you cook yourselves so you get slow vasodilation with consequent blood pressure drop, then you jump in the snow which causes instant vasoconstriction and increase in blood pressure. I wonder if any Russian have suffered a heart attack after hitting the snow? Usually that is not thought of as desirable, but you are the expert Nesty, so I'll defer to you. At least it's something the whole family can do together, which is a very good thing. Thanks for taking us all along with you!
Going to do so much to get boiled and later frozen? 😉 I think I rather do nothing while drinking the beer that your male relatives splash on hot stones 😉
The vape is a vice worthy of shame. Talk sense into your uncle. He has enough trouble bearing a cursed first name. He doesn't need health problems plus a vaping tax to pay to feed a bad habit. Thanks for bringing us to the banya.
Вы очень симпатичная девушка (в этом выпуске - особо - потому что естественнее) с прекрасным чувством юмора, но батя даже лежа на фоне молча вас уделал своей крутизной) 6:50 А "al-ko-hol blyat" вашим голосом должны купить "Красное и белое" для своей аудиорекламы) Мы в бане сначала пару раз "разогревались" и смывали пот, только раз на третий париться в 2-3 захода обливаясь холодной (кстати, не надо обливаться начинать с головы - это опасно для сосудов мозга, особенно кто нечасто парится) после каждого и уже в конце - "помочалиться"...Ощущения и правда прекрасные
Russian banya, done properly, has excellent detoxicating effect. Where it can remove even fat-toxins and dangerous proteine-toxins. Sad thing is that modern russians mostly do not know that they are not doing it properly, thus detoxicating effect is very weak and small. Worst thing you can do is to drink bear or another alcohol during procedure. There is detoxicating effect almost zero. Like common sweating. You get out of body only salts, but no fat-toxins or proteine-toxins. Interesting is, that finish sauna or turkey sauna does not have this detoxicating effect.
Oh my god I wish I could do this ! I was born and raised in Australia however, I am Russian/Ukrainian. My parents have told me about banyas and showed photos of them experiencing it. I always feel disconnected from my background since I can speak English and Russian but, can’t visit where my parents grew up. Thank you for sharing this it’s interesting to learn more things about my own culture!
Me being a Russian Amercian, I have very mixed feelings about this. I like being in a sauna, but going back and forth from hot to cold does not look fun. 🤣🥵
Americans are now starting to do this after many years thinking you folks in those cold lands were crazy. New Medical knowledge shows it does have healthier benefits. The herbs and spices you boiled on the stove is called in english,POT POUR RI. Yes we do that here just not as popular in Europe and your country. Keep up with your videos. We know people everywhere a good and just want to live happy. The politicians in every country are the ones causing trouble. Thank you for showing everyone how your people live life. Like us.
