nestekiteissä

Nestekiteissä is a traditional Finnish method of melting snow and ice to create a source of heat and water. The process typically involves collecting snow and ice from a nearby location and piling it in a mound. A fire is then ignited at the base of the mound, gradually melting the snow and ice into a liquid state.

The resulting mixture of water and ice is stirred to continue the melting process, with the mixture being periodically heated by adding more snow and ice to the flames. As the mixture is heated, it eventually reaches a temperature suitable for washing and as a source of drinking water.

One of the primary advantages of nestekiteissä is its ability to provide a reliable source of clean water, even in cold climates with limited access to natural springs or sources. This method has been used for generations in rural and wilderness areas of Finland, particularly during winter months when other sources of water may be frozen.

The process is labor-intensive and requires careful management to maintain a consistent temperature and prevent the formation of ice crystals. However, it remains an effective and<character methods. However it has largely been replaced by more modern methods of water purification.
