Finland has ~73% forest coverage = 222,180 square kilometers of forests (world bank study). Our forests are densest in the world, averaging 72,000 trees in sq km. That's 22 billion trees or 4,500 for every Finn (yale university study). Please send help. Must bring own rakes.

As this thread is getting tons of retweets and comments I have a humble request: please help those Californians who have lost everything, esp those without proper insurances. All this is just irrelevant compared to their plight.

Do you remember when he suggested using sea water to extinguish wild fires? google it. not a great idea. this guy just has no filter and will say anything that comes to mind. next he'll suggest to water the fields with Gatorade
-
Wouldn't potato fields doused with sea water be almost ready Freedom Fries?
-
could we sprinkle some cheese as well?
-
Yes, just before pouring vegetable oil to the fields and lighting it all up. That'd give a lovely smoked cheese flavor. Maybe driving some pigs to the fields too?

Doesn't "Finland" come from the Latin for "Those who rake their forests?"
-
You made my day. Thank you!

Folias consariamus et defendamus silvas! If Finland ever needs a new motto, I can vouch for the Latin-- "Let us rake leaves and defend forests" Live look at Finland:pic.twitter.com/9ZQOMVh7xZ

I refuse to believe this is not from last night's SNL. Reality is funnier than satire these days

That's why our oldest satire mag pahkasika shut down. I think the Onion might die the same way.

What we need is a rake alternative. I vote goats. Goats to eat the rakes and grass
Just have to watch out If your goat bursts into flames

Flaming goats sound suspiciously like radio Yerevan. Are you sure this is not a communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids?

He’s in the pocket of Big Goat.

Flaming Goats was gonna play at Burning Man this year but PETA got them boycotted.

Whoa, Whooaa....I'd be more worried about angrying the Satanic Church...Ppl Eating Tasty Animals hardly has a case esp. on Hellfire and Goats...

“We do not rake forest floors in any circumstances”
75% of Finland is covered in forest, so how do we look after all that green space & prevent forest fires? Spoiler alert, Mr President, there's no raking involved.
