Encounter with a real life Viking in Gudvangen
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 апр 2016
- Fjord Norway has a rich historical heritage and many visible traces of the Vikings, who ruled the country for an era between AD 800 to 1066. Georg Olafr Reydarsson Hansen is the nearest you’ll get to a real life Viking. Georg and other Viking enthusiasts meet every year at the Viking Market in Gudvangen. A Viking village is under construction here, situated in spectacular scenery at the end of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Nærøyfjord.

This guy is 93 and listens to heavy metal and use Facebook and walk around carrying a sword, possibly the coolest grandpa ever.
Kaiserreich 2.0 Sounds more like he said ... "In '93 I became single after 20 years". There is no way he is 93 years old. I'd wager he's 60-70
So this is paradise...
Contraire... It's Valhalla!
Yes my friend.
lol, everyone want to live in pure norway until the winter come.
can you use some help in your village ?
EINAR VOLSUNG i would join too
im from new zealand but i want to come as well xD
I'm from United States, but I'll make a boat.
I'll go walking if I have to
Jaime Lannister One handed hasbeens aren't allowed.
Norway, I will come to you soon
what about me too, brother =[
Rauði Ulfhrafn i will be moving to Norway when i get the money
I like how humble he is when he talks about paris. Not thinking about his people as invincible.
Metal is music of the vikings
Amen
"Heavy Metal is the music of modern vikings." My man!!! Respect!
“Heavy Metal that’s the music of the Vikings”.
I like this guy. Heavy metal, beards, self-deprecating humor. Its almost Scotland without self-loathing
1:33 His village behind him looks like how we should be LIVING as a community today.
This is the only sexual orientation i can accept
"i sexually identify as Viking and wish to live in a viking village in a fjord"
I see a simple man living in an authentic contact with the nature. It's a true way of life. True, like Asatrú.
0:58 At that point, I already had half my shit packed and ready to go to his village
THANK YOU ENJOYED SEEING YOUR LIFE STYLE. HAVE FUN GARE
ITS BOWSANTA, HELL YES
I was seriously looking for you in the comments since it would seem like something that you'd enjoy. You really have an amazing life style.
"Heavy Metal, the music of the Vikings" im dead af! This dude listening to Amon Amarth XD
That land is too beautiful and free for my mind to comprehend. WOW
I wish i could be like this man. I always wanted to live in the viking era.
I may not be a Viking by birth but I am a Viking by heart.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful that scenery is!
Very awesome he lives like that! Skal brother Hail Odin
Prelude Dude Si he lives in a fantasy manor. I am of norse descent and this is just pathetic bullshit for attention.
Society has changed so wear modern clothes. You can still keep our culture alive and not act like a damn fool.
Loki Sigurdsson keeping alive the old traditions is one thing. But going this extreme is another. I have Nordic blood in me. And i keep traditions alive. But I don't walk around like this guy does. You can keep old traditions in a modern way.
Loki Sigurdsson that's one thing and I get it. And if he is amongst those that do that. Then I retract my comment and apologize for my agression. Just being a nord myself I tend to get apprehensive of others whom claim to know our history and the ways our ancestors lived and all when in reality they dont
Loki Sigurdsson i dont live in the homelands. Though I hope to be able to visit them one day.
Ensiferum, Amon Amarth, Manegarm, Falkenbach, Korpiklaani, Turisas, Northland etc \m/
I literally grew up partly in a family that were living viking styled (I'm Swedish), they had a garden in the country side, the mother made her own viking clothes, she made her own carpets from animal skin and shit... She made tents, fences etc of wood and drew viking art on walls hehe, she and I also used to write letters for each other using runes (in Sweden you are taught runes, but most people forget them after learning, but I still remember up until today and I was taught runes 10 years ago haha)
...Yeah it was an experience haha xD But I don't think that life style suits me too well :) She seems to be at home with it though
A viking or a norse man? I'm confused, where is he going raiding and leaving the bay and pirating too? The term viking is comonly misused these days.
But he's speaking in English. So he can't be a viking.
MileyCyrusPartyUSA ever heard of someone knowing two languages?
Viking was a profession. You would "go viking" or "come as viking" to other countries, just as you could come as a merchant or go exploring. As a swede it really annoys me when people think that Viking age Scandinavia was just a whole regions of bearded men in chainmail wielding large axes and killing people. They were first and foremost farmers, artisans and merchants, just like everywhere else
vikings were warriors who traveled traveled the world fighting and trading. others were farmers and did not raid and were not called vikings but norsemen. so viking means warrior. it can be from danmark sweden finland normway iceland greenland.... they came all the way to turkish empire so the were real bad ass fighters
The correct term is viking era norseman or simply dane depending on situation (as dane meant more than just someone from Denmark) but it is shortened to viking in popular usage. Its not really that much of a problem as most people know we are talking about Scandinavians in the period vikingr was common.
"We listen to modern music. I mean heavy metal. This is the music of the modern vikings" my dude
I want to be a viking samurai Shaolin Spartan !
Ariel Ruiz haha
Ariel Ruiz I want to be a Viking Roman winged hussar
How about,
A Spartan who trained as a Shaolin who is a samurai in Japan and goes VIKING!
I want to form a new country or something with this dude...
When im old... i wanna spent rest of my life somewhere around norway, on mountains, smith some fancy blades and act like a pagan.
Santa? Is that you?
I'd LOVE to live there.... I'd help with just anything, and as payment i'd get food, shelter and someone to learn me Viking culture and history... #PerfectLife
I knew heavy metal was the music of the vikings. I love this guy man! Peace from New Zealand!
I love metal. Amon Amarth is one of the best Viking Metal bands
That place is beautiful

I'd love to live this way
I RESPECT THIS GUY!!!!
I really would love to live like this

Pretty sure this is how I will end up when I get old and sick of modernity. Looking forward to it.
I don't know why I started laughing when he was about to get into his car, wearing that lol...
this is so cool, the ultimate ' unplug ' .. from life ..
"It probably was not that easy." I chuckled at this bit of truth.
Bro I'll work on this guy's farm for free as long as he gives me 3 meals a day and a place to sleep.
I would love to help out. That is paradise right there
'i mean, heavy metal, that is the music of the vikings'

Heavy metal.. the modern viking music. He's right. END VIDEO.
I lived in Sweden, very idilic when you look in a serie, but wait until you lived there,the loneliness, the extreme weather and cold,the darkness in winter, the midnight sun in summer.
I want to live like him.
60% of my genetic is Gallic(French-German) and Scandinavian(Northern Europe).
Ok gonna visit this Easter
They should have this guy on the Vikings show
What is the name for that blade with a tip like that?
GLORY TO OUR ANCESTORS
I'd move there in a heartbeat :D
I would love to meet this guy. I love that he listens to heavy metal, haha. Not historically accurate but a nice modern addition.
i love vikings
*Heavy Metal, the music of the **-Modern-** Vikings.*
You're absolutely fucking right it is.
My family came from Orkney. The highland clearance. Clan Gunn. Saint Magnus, Magnus The good Olafsson. Tussen Takk brother.
0:57 Hell yeah. Old man not that old anymore. I wanna be him.
Quite cool
HEAVY METAL BROTHER!
Viva Los Vikingos!
tiene el corazón quebrado 🌿
long life vikings
how are the raids going?
A "viking" is someone who went to raid and plunder from Scandinavia. It's not a people group, it's more of a profession or an action..
What an enlightened man ♡
viking larper going through a midlife crisis after crying over his gf dumping him
Lachann Craft meh whatever
this is the culture of this country and should be share
I need one of those hats.
cool lifestyle.!!
I wanna be a Viking too :(
Did one of his buildings have an asbestos roof?
He looks like that kind of viking that was left home to watch the sheep. Jokes aside, cool stuff. Glad he is living his dreams, wish I could leave work and roleplay. :(
I want to live here. I'm serious.
Looks like fun....
He's alluding to the Viking age not that he is in fact a 'viking' I mean the man would be arrested if he went a viking. Anyway sounds like he has a fun hobby/profession.
Life goal
You should listen Amon Amarth. Respect!!
That is very cool
HEAVY METAL \,,/
Du blive Viking min vän
❤
Darn. I'd live there.
"Brings them some folk metal" brothers!!!
"Heavy Metal; thats the music of the Vikings." Fuck yeah \m/
