We’re three friends who’ve known each other for over 30 years. We grew up together, and even though we now live in different cities, we make time every summer to reconnect—off the grid, somewhere quiet, with cold lakes, campfires, and no reception.

A few years ago, we added a new tradition to those weekends: the sauna. What started as a DIY setup in the woods quickly became a ritual we looked forward to just as much as the fishing or the coffee at sunrise. It wasn’t long before we realized we wanted to bring that feeling—the stillness, the sweat, the simplicity—to more people.

So we built Saunder.
