How about it, a portable sauna, or skill for nomads, they build a campfire,
put some large stones on the fire, heat em up, build a tent around it and you
have a sauna! Maybe a tent like item could be made for the purposes, or
sleeping bag or something could suffice.

I assume you're talking about the sauna's ability to remove poison?

If so, a couple of things need to be kept in mind:
a) Tents are really heavy.
b) Stones are even heavier.
While something like this can, and maybe even should, exist, I think it might
be a tad more reasonable to find something lighter, like an herb powder to
throw into the fire, or special branches to burn/beat yourself with.

Then lets take this idea up a notch...You don't need to change anything about
this idea. All you need to consider is the skill Find Campsite. In
mountainous areas, you use this skill, there will be a 'slim' chance to find
hot springs naturally built into certain areas, usually around the mountains.
This can function for both needs, and allows optional survival for groups as
well.

No need for excess carrying, no muss nor fuss. Allow dwarves/duerguar whom
have a bit of skill in Mountainous regions to be permitted lil higher chances
of finding these hot springs.

Hot Springs however will drain you of water, but do not have any ability to
adjust the heat. Once you find one, you begin to sweat it out slowly over
time. This can gain benefit from having the Wilderness Survival skill mid-high
range so you would not lose too much thirst as it drains you since its a
natural enviromental area.
