A tanning bed would be cheaper & safer as far as getting burned is concerned!!! Doctors will now tell you that tanning is bad for you. My great aunt worshiped the sun. She spent a minimum of 4 hours a day tanning in her back yard. When she grew older her skin was extremely dry & leathery looking & her wrinkles looked like black streaks in her skin. She passed away at 98 & NEVER had skin cancer!!! I guess my question would be, WHY would you need to tan all year round???
@RedDeerGuy1 Given where you live, it would be pretty damn hard to get a decent tan in the winter, since at Solstice your day was only 7 hours and 41 minutes.
The angle of the Sun at your latitude makes it very hard to even feel warm, let alone get a tan.
