    To hell with politics and all that hollow bullshit.
    It's the fjords and mountains and forests i love. The people.

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.

    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.

  • @MarekDohojda
    @MarekDohojda 6 лет назад +274

    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..

    • @jonnyberven2264
      @jonnyberven2264 6 лет назад +51

      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 !

    • @aweirdperson.864
      @aweirdperson.864 5 лет назад +11

      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!

    • @Jeudaos
      @Jeudaos 5 лет назад +6

      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.

    • @christopherrowley7506
      @christopherrowley7506 5 лет назад +8

      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.

      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.

      @Thalanox 6 лет назад +5

      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?
