Bedeutung
To find another way to survive.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The phrase is linked to 'sisu'. It's not just about surviving; it's about the quiet pride of not asking for help. In the countryside, this often refers to 'omavaraisuus' (self-sufficiency), like growing your own food. Used in the context of the 'gig economy' where people have multiple small income streams. Refers to the 'bark bread' era where survival required extreme dietary alternatives.
