I am Vietnamese and I absolutely love the Scandinavian culture, especially old Norse lifestyle. Thank you for making such quality content. Looking forward to learning about the daily foods for old Norsemen.
I love my country and it's history and heritage. To me, it's the most beautiful and mystical place in the world. To hell with politics and all that hollow bullshit. It's the fjords and mountains and forests i love. The people. How we tamed this wilderness and learned to live in and with it. It makes me hear music in my soul.
Yes, personally i don't care about anyones skin colour. If i ever were to judge someone, it would be on the content of their character, and i can only hope to be judged in the same manner myself. Unfortunately, certain groups in todays bullshit overly politically correct sjw culture, will belittle or condemn your culture and label you a demon if you simply happen to be born caucasian.
Flatbreads, made with various kinds of grains and using various techniques, were first kind of bread and were known practically everywhere where human lived. It's one of the foodstuffs that connects every culture and humanity as a whole.
Would’ve been an interesting plot twist if all this was prepared and he went outside and hopped on a mountain bike that was fitted to look like a horse.
This was incredibly well done. The showing of old time prepping of food for travel, the music, and the story behind the video is very heartwarming. The scenery is also very breathtaking.
The fat people were from the royalty, and they were mainly people above 40 years old, normal people were in constant movement, so they were thin/muscular.
I loved watching this (ex Viking Age reenactor here, domestic history). Also, in my native Scottish Highlands and Islands, barley (called Bere) was commonly used in very similar ways. Even today the Orkney Islands still make and consume Bere Bannocks, a large griddle or oven baked barley cake, and still grind and sell barley flour for making breads. Interesting too that the Viking travellers and settlers imported many foods to Scotland, including some kinds of livestock. Great video, thanks for uploading and sharing. Brought back some lovely memories.
Loved the video. When times are hard because of calamity or winter, the food gets scarcer and rougher. Whey you're starving, almost anything with calories tastes pretty good. Mouldy bread and cheese, rancid butter and fat were lifesavers.
привет ребята! ваш канал просто класс, это здорово что вы пытаетесь возродить быт ваших предков, это бесценный и очень нужный всем опыт жизни в дикой природе, класс))))
Fantastic! My ancestors are Norwegian! My favorite is herring in cream. My daughter's family camps on the Norwegian Hardangervedda. My granddaughter loves dried cod! So great!
feel very calm in mind while watching this. in modern life people can get everything very easily. eating, drinking and wanting too much than we really need.
Can I come live with you all? This feels so very good to watch, it's making me cry as it stirs my heart. I'd love to eat that food on the open air after walking long. I can smell that open natural place.
Very interesting, but I would like to clarify, this is NORDIC and not Viking. While Vikings, being Nordic, would almost certainly do same thing, it is always bad idea to combine these two words as being the same. Viking is a profession, i.e. raiding, while Nordic are people of Norther Europe. Some Nordic people were Vikings, but many were not. They were farmers, tradesman, fisherman, etc..etc..etc..
Nearly right. I come from the westcoast of Norvegr, and I can tell you this: Vik, means Inlet. The peoples from the inlets was called Vik-ings. But when they travelled to raid, or traid or for war, They were travelling "in Viking" so this has something to do with the older language. Check it out, and keep up your interest for real history. Skål !
Marek Dohojda I believe history is taught in a skewed manner. The vikings weren't a raiding maniacal people they are portrayed as. Were they not settlers, farmers, and traders more than anything? Most all peoples have fought for things, but I hate how history is taught in public schools and such. Not saying that's where you got your info and I am on a quest now for the true, more rich history of the viking peoples!
I think the word 'viking' is taking on a new meaning. Obviously nobody calling themselves a 'viking' can actually raid and pillage or the like. I think today, being a viking is more of a mindset. I think people use it when referring to MANY things these days. Customs, traditions, a way of thinking and life. my thoughts on it.
It is common practice to retroactively prescribe names to historical events, cultures, etc. that were not used during the time in question or were used in a different way. Historians often refer to this period as 'The Viking Age' since the raiding during that time had a significant impact on Northern and Western Europe. Then, describing people of these early medieval norse cultures as 'vikings' for shorthand is completely acceptable. It certainly is a few less syllables. Think of it as synecdoche (fittingly, a commonly used poetic device of these so-called vikings).
In Estonia we still eat the butter milk with the grain thingy. We call it kama, but we mix it with alot more buttermilk and less grain so it is more liquid than porridge. Nowadays also put sugar in it to make it a bit sweeter, but otherwise it's very good and healthy. With it usally is that people hate it or love it.
Fantastic. I've tried to gather images and descriptions of how Vikings would travel distances- this is perfect. How would he have slept? Beside the fire wrapped in cloak I presume.
It could be wool, but the thing is that wool is very heavy. And belive me, you want to minimize the total weight of what you carry. We have one in wool that is soaked in horse fat. We also have one in linnen, soaked i linnen oil.
While we're on the subject, did the fat-soaked wool tarp go rancid? Does it make everything that touches it greasy, or is it more of a longer-chain lipid, like the kidney fat that candles used to be made out of?
Very beautiful video. Almost got inspired to raid my neighbor's home this evening.
Lol
Almost? That’s quitter talk!
Just do it
You can still raid their internet with NordVPN.
Almost I killed half my block for a loaf of bread
Somehow the experience was enhanced alot by not using dialogue! Great, great work!
Show and not tell. I love that method.
Northern85Star exactly
Cooking show, history lesson, and music video all in one. I've never seen anything quite like this. Extra compliments on the slick editing!
Thanks! =)
Viking MRE looks good.
it even features rocks or something
Hmm, no hiss...
Imag N. Eerie
Yeah exce
The only upside of ancient heater pack technology.
Imag N. Eerie ---- that's what I was thinking ! Not so old school .
I like how everyone looks like they sorta don't know what they're doing but they very clearly do.
Love it how anything nordic gets branded "viking"
anything above germany according to states = vikings.

Probably because it's easier to market. 'Viking' food sounds more interesting than 'Nordic' food.
I love how this tells a very human story, even as it tells about the food, and shows parts of the clothing being assembled for wear.

You love who you are, brother. Dont listen to anyone calling you a racist for that.
I'm pretty sure Norway and Scandinavia was uninhabited when the people that preceded us migrated here after the end of the last ice age.

Seth :o who??? its year2017 not 1000bc..evolve please
ColdNorwegian arm ur self brother..coz time might come..where u need to fight againts invaders and their masters
Those barley cakes. I did the same ones here (in Venezuela) without knowing they were so ancient! They're one of my favorite dishes :3
in Finland, we call it a bread.... A cake🤣🤣🤣

Very intresting!

Nice. Something educational with accurate material culture. No biker vikings in sight.
imagine him just cycling along the mountains lol
Would’ve been an interesting plot twist if all this was prepared and he went outside and hopped on a mountain bike that was fitted to look like a horse.
no words yet far more educational than most historical reenactment vids out there! Very well done!
This was incredibly well done. The showing of old time prepping of food for travel, the music, and the story behind the video is very heartwarming. The scenery is also very breathtaking.
This is just awesome. Watching stuff being prepared or things being made from different times in history will always fascinate me.
I find this fascinating as heck and would love to see this with other cultures and time periods!
Beautiful scenery and I like the music too!
Ahh I wish these were longer ! I could watch them forever
this is so cool! my grandfather was a viking. i only wish he was alive so i could show him this. it would certainly have brought back memories for him
And this is why nobody was fat a thousand years ago. Food was a lot of work!
Minute Man
There were fat people back then you ding dong, lol.
LoedVader - Are you familiar with the concept of hyperbole? Look it up in the dictionary if you aren't.
The fat people were from the royalty, and they were mainly people above 40
years old, normal people were in constant movement, so they were thin/muscular.
When even the food prep takes hard work, and even a “sendentary” person would require 3000+ calories per day back then
Drying herring is a great way of preserving. Same with the steak 🥩!
Tack så mycket

Wow what a well done video! Great cinematography and edit and costumes wow!
That's some excellent editing, people! Great video and thanks for the walkthrough!
History channel has nothing on this. One of the coolest videos I've seen in a minute.
This was very well produced. Keep making more! Thanks
This video is very, very well made. It deserves more views.
Great video my friend, good story and I like how you put it all together. Keep the old traditional ways going.
Loved the video. When times are hard because of calamity or winter, the food gets scarcer and rougher. Whey you're starving, almost anything with calories tastes pretty good. Mouldy bread and cheese, rancid butter and fat were lifesavers.
Such a wonderful video, I hope to see more traditional food, make more of this please!!
This was an incredible video... I learned a lot and was also really entertained by the story and cinematography! You have a great channel going here
Really liked the video. I would like to see up close the making of storage bag , he had around neck. Loved the bedding . Like to see that up close.
Great historical reconstruction. Good job. Thank you.
Love the music and the scenery. Very good video.
Words can’t express his much I love this video

Fantastic! My ancestors are Norwegian! My favorite is herring in cream. My daughter's family camps on the Norwegian Hardangervedda. My granddaughter loves dried cod! So great!
I love dried cod. Ate it when I lived in Greece. I use to eat dried flaked fish in Japan, I don't know what fish it was.
feel very calm in mind while watching this. in modern life people can get everything very easily. eating, drinking and wanting too much than we really need.
I love this video! Great job!
No words needed. Fantastic !
Excellent video. I love how it tells a story.
The idea, atmosphere and music all on top
I watched the video more than once and every time I wish I could click on a thumbs up to him👍👍👍👍👍nice video

Like when a Marine gets called a soldier
im intetested in how ancient mankind prepared their food and what it tastes like ..
great video
Great video, very satisfying to watch.
Some of them look quite delicious! I think I would like that buttermilk cookie.
I think it's more of a kind of flatbread than a cookie.
I would love to try all these foods. They look delicious.
Food looks good....refreshing to look at the food prep
really love it and it shows a very nature and health way to make traditional food
Meat and bread and butter. Who'da thought.
Very enjoyable. i love the atmosphere in the video
Very cool. My ancestors were vikings! Makes me wonder what they ate.
Learn how to cook with a little story and insight! A great video. Also will attemp to make the bread soon here

"Listen, Loddfafnir, and listen carefully! If you have to cross mountains or fjords, make quite sure you take enough food." -- the Lay of Loddfafnir.

Greetings from Germany.
Great video, thank you very much for sharing. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks !
That butter looks great!!
Super cool informative video!
Amazing video and information sir thanks much!!
Good wholesome food that does not need preservatives and will keep one healthy and alive, great culture.

Nowadays also put sugar in it to make it a bit sweeter, but otherwise it's very good and healthy. With it usally is that people hate it or love it.
Could you use honey or other fats like lard ? I can't eat dairy anymore sadly.. but it looks good!
Loved this man thanks for sharing I subb'd up.
Djäkligt bra video!
I love how those bowls look
Pots? Whatever they're considered
Great video guys. Very impressive!
Well done. The music is perfect
Please do more videos like this 😃 I find their diet very interesting
What an amazing video!
Fantastic video!
Wonderful presentation! :)
Fantastic. I've tried to gather images and descriptions of how Vikings would travel distances- this is perfect. How would he have slept? Beside the fire wrapped in cloak I presume.
Yes! And maybe try to find some shelter. And if more people are traveling together they might bring a tarp
It could be wool, but the thing is that wool is very heavy. And belive me, you want to minimize the total weight of what you carry. We have one in wool that is soaked in horse fat. We also have one in linnen, soaked i linnen oil.
how does the oil soaked linen fare against the weather, i presume said linen is of the heaver variety than what you would use for clothing?
While we're on the subject, did the fat-soaked wool tarp go rancid? Does it make everything that touches it greasy, or is it more of a longer-chain lipid, like the kidney fat that candles used to be made out of?
Most people would travel by boat, as most people in that time lived by the coast.
great stuff, I m a subscriber!
omg omg this is so awesome ... very well done .... thank you
Really inspiring and beuteful video!
THANK YOU =)
Norway is amazingly beautiful.
Very stylish video but your man there hasn't spent long enough outdoors - he is simply not enthusiastic enough about his food - great stuff!!
Отличный видеоролик! Молодцы! Желаю вдохновения и новых успехов!
Absolutely fantastic
Love this!
This is the minimalistic lifestyle I want for myself.
