I’m section hiking the Appalachian Trail, and videos like this that show the historical methods people used to travel by foot are so fascinating. I’m binging all of your content. Thank you!
We are living in a really interesting time. Here are some people demonstrating how people lived a thousand years ago and we film them with flying cameras.
I utterly adore the music. I am having difficulty finding Sogleikr as an artist. I would very much like to hear more. Can anyone help me out with that? Much appreciated. I have recently found HoH AS channel and am in love with you lot. Makes me proud to see the youth taking back and embracing their ancient culture. I look forward to watching more of your videos over time. Well done all of you.
This is so awesome video♥ I feel so bad we don't have any "historic groups" ... U re just amazing guys! Maybe I'll try to do something like this in my country as well :)
This is so awesome! I'm in the process of turning fully and wholeheartedly into a worthy son of Odin by learning all I can and shedding this need to rely on all the accommodations and comforts this modern world has stuffed our heads with. I'm determined to get into shape, live and breath the wilderness. And if at all possible live among the wilds in a home i build myself where I can forage, hunt, and gather my own food, prepare my own water, and live a life I think too perfect to be forgotten as it has been by modern people. If only like minded people lived where I do in Washington, the journey would be all the better with brethren.
@Turin Turambar yeah man I've learnt my ancestry and culture is the oldest in the whole world more than 40,000yrs old and I'm still breathing and speakin bits of my native tongue but due to colonisation and white policies it's been cut off from me instead I speak english.
We are somewhat in the same situation, the Christian religion destroyed much of what was the norse way of life, from birth Germany to Scandinavia wedo not know much now.
@@willperry9324 I am deeply sorry for what all those colonizers out of Europe did to the various nations and cultures in Africa (& in the Americas), including your own area, wherever that is. I do hope you take the time to learn more about your own background and history, to help preserve whatever rich and deep heritages are found there. At the same time, there's nothing wrong with wanting to learn about & enjoy a different culture, its music, clothing, food, art, beliefs, etc, so long as it's done with respect. I hope you learn lots of things, new and old, that your nation becomes a better place for all, and that you and yours get to have a wonderful life.
Hands on History AS please do! Your guys videos are fantastic, but it would be awesome to have a little more substance for us history dorks! Also do you have any resources on where to get some of the pots, cookware, and other containers you folks use?
You are an awesome inspiration! Me and my wife dried meat over the fire today and had two fish hung up to dry =) The best thing is, that comparing the norwegian gear and way of life to the historical german one is just the same but regional differences, if at all. It was always connected by the same religion and close trading. To us, it has to do with a suspected future way of life for everyone. Keep up the good videos and make them come up more frequently! =)
Im only 16 years old atm but I Hope I will be able to do sth comparable to this with some ppl out there. But ppl who want to live and hike like this are very rare out here :/
Hi ! Perfect vid as always. 🤩 But I have one problem... I cant find anything about sogleikr music on the internet and unfortunately I love the song. Why that? Thanks for what you do.
Yugan Dali they probably wouldn’t have had swords, these people are dressed as for the peasant and artisan class, not the nobility or military Spears of some sort for at least some of the males would be possible but some concessions to the modern world have to be taken into account. I doubt this was solely on private lands and image the calls to the police of a bunch of “weirdos” wandering around a National Park with swords and spears
Humans today won't be the same as humans in Viking age. We aren't as exposed to the elements as much and our bodies could not cope with doing exactly the same as what an ancient people did. Same goes for Native Americans today, they can not eat certain things that their ancestors did, as their bodies can not handle it. Immune systems etc.
+Sitting Bull Modern people are physiologically pretty much ecaxtly the same as their ancestors a thousand years ago. The only difference is that the people in the video are "pampered" and not used to the climate. However, there are still many people who don't have problems in their own climate. For example; ruclips.net/video/PxcgmfaunD8/видео.html
Some people today have trained their bodies to handle extreme weather conditions yes, and no doubt we are still very much alike. However, we evolve, and over a thousand years our bodies will have adapted to the many changes. Such as our immune systems. There is a hardiness you can possess from being exposed from a very good age to harsh conditions, but these ancient people will have had it genetically also.
+Sitting Bull True, there are things such as pollen allergy and lactose intolerance that are a problem today, but those are relatively minor changes. And for most allergies it's possible to build up the kind of immunity our ancestors had. Perhaps the most serious change is that we have a different set of active genes. We still have the same genes our ancestors did, but for most people they have their "comfort" genes active, while our ancestors had the "overcome challenge" -set of genes active. Sadly, that's also affecting the average IQ of people, because they are born with their brains in a constant resting state.
I see. I'm only going from a documentary I watched and my own theory. It was of these Native Americans who could not cook their traditional foods that their ancestors ate, because their immune system couldn't handle it. But perhaps if from birth they had lived as their ancestors did, in all aspects, they could have eaten it. But then, there must be some innate genetic changes that happen when a group of people all say eat raw meat for 1000 years, and if we dropped a modern baby in that situation it wouldn't survive. I must research!
Kevin, anyone that's read the books, or anything even close to Tolkien, carries that bit of Middle-Earth in their hearts. Not crazy. It's just an old and very right kind of sane. :)
If we lived near each other, I'd go with you dressed like that. We have only this life and it will be shame if on our deathbed we remember the things we didn't do. Dress as a hobbit, find same minded people and off you go, next second you're on mountain eating dried meat.
I was thinking the same thing. I am planning on going to New Zealand to see the Shire and would love to hike like a Hobbit through the country. I bet with a some survival classes and finding the right group of history/fantasy fans on meetup or even at local Renaissance fairs, you would find people willing to do this. I know there are multi-day hiking trips you could look into.

This is just beautiful. It's just a completely different feeling when there is no plastic and when everything is handmade, simple and pure.
We are living in a really interesting time. Here are some people demonstrating how people lived a thousand years ago and we film them with flying cameras.
Odin had flying cameras. I believe it was the "Raven" model.
@@markcash2 2 of them Hugin and Mugin model ......
This is what I like not books just showing how they used to live. Make more please
Amazing love the Old Scandinavian way of life bless from Somalia 🇸🇴
I keep coming back to this video. I love Hands on History!
This was absolutely awesome! As an educator of the Scandinavian peoples of the Viking age... this resonates well and I love every minute!
I wish, that I could have gone. What stunning landscapes you have in Norway.
I love the music. The viewers would love to see more on how you prepared for the hike.
Thanks for sharing the ways of our ancestors.
I always admire these videos.
This is really so beautiful
This is a necessity for me! I need this in my life!
The content and the music just makes me want to explore why there was a strange grave in my family’s ancestral grave yard
Would love to see more of this
I'd love to do this. That place is beautiful!

0:04... Škoda...good choice. Proud of my country xD
I'm an Indigenous black man and I love celtic and viking music and old way of life.
Indigenous black man would be a african, no?

Awesome!
Next time dont cut anything! I want to know what you packed how you packed it what you sleep on at night what you ate EVERYTHING!! Lol
Just try it your self and you will get more knowledge/exp
We will be releasing a video on this very soon =) How-to and what-to pack for Viking Hiking !

Stu Sogla a man bun and beard is all you need to be a real viking
Beautiful vid! 👍🏻😍
breathtaking :,)
That would be cool to do a hike progressing thru time, adding technologies in the order they were invented for maybe a few centuries' range.
Im only 16 years old atm but I Hope I will be able to do sth comparable to this with some ppl out there. But ppl who want to live and hike like this are very rare out here :/
Hey awesome channel ☺ Keep it up!
Please make a video about the "how to" on fire making!
fire steel man
The season for packing is here again! I prefer travelling over water though.
The BEST was the MUSIC !!!
magnifique
Hiking like a Viking... with a drone
Would like to hike the pilgrim way to Trondheim to honor St. Olav that way.
Why I wasn´t there in the past time?!!!
Hii sweet channel ☺ Keep it up!
Красота!
By the gods, now that is what I call country.
Great video, where was this filmed?
Trollheimen, Norway
Vídeo fantástico! Parabéns! (Like 530)
Cool
Hi ! Perfect vid as always. 🤩 But I have one problem... I cant find anything about sogleikr music on the internet and unfortunately I love the song. Why that? Thanks for what you do.
Craig Brooks Painting & Decorating oooh thanks for answering! In the video you say its sogleikr... thats why I didnt find. Take care!
I humbly kneel before the Producer and crawl under the soles of the DOP. Got high without inhaling anything. Bravo !
where is this place? can i come next time i travel to north Europe?
Trollheimen! And yes you can: www.handsonhistory.no/portfolio/go-viking/
Goodness gracious! What's the song in this video name???
Songleikr - Jenta ho gjekk seg
How do I find a group to live like this?
Those are summer light clothes. What did they wear in winter?
More layers and cloacks
How many miles?
I can't find anything about Sogleikr online. Do they have any more music???
songleikr.bandcamp.com/releases
Awesome! Thanks! It looks like the video says soGleiker. Is that a typo?
Amazing!
Sign me up, too.
When is the deadline for application for the 2018 hikes?
The deadline is: when it's full! ;)
Beautiful film, beautiful scenery, beautiful music. But wouldn't they have carried staffs, and even spears and swords?
Yugan Dali they probably wouldn’t have had swords, these people are dressed as for the peasant and artisan class, not the nobility or military
Spears of some sort for at least some of the males would be possible but some concessions to the modern world have to be taken into account. I doubt this was solely on private lands and image the calls to the police of a bunch of “weirdos” wandering around a National Park with swords and spears
Who else wants to do this?
Do they do this everyday, or just as a hobby?
As often as we can!
❤️
You wore thermal under the clothes of Vikings?

How do you keep yourselves dry when it rains??
I can't speak for them personally, but most of their clothes appear to be made of wool, which is quite water resistant
So...., no rain? ;)
Interesting
Do you als use historical shoes? Are they okay
Yes, some times we do. They work quite well if it is not to wet!
How is the grip?
We walk in terrain, so the grip is always quite good. But during winter it is very slippery.
The things I would do to join our guys
By the Gods, I need to do this!..........or failing that, dress as a hobbit and do the same.........perhaps a bit corny for a 57 yr old but who cares!
Yes who cares! Enjoy life!

Yes, who the fucking cares. You do you. If you care what other people think about you soon you don't have space to breathe.
cant find the song anywhere :(
Ohh you should normally :/ Just search : Songleikr and it should be there
iTzVisionz The Name of The Song is „Jenta Ho Gjekk Seg“
Broter happy wapulgil
Half of the total views are from me

Correction. "Hiking like a Norseman"
Ya never know, a Viking could have found himself in a situation which involved hiking. Lol
Any normal human being at the time would. Including herders, merchants, and fishermen.
Vikings using drone
actually, a small friendly valkerie taught to draw really really quickly!
Kevin Roche haha you guys are doing awesome work
seriusly only 2 minute?? why you even video that? you did't saw anythink to us
Love this video but at the same time it saddens me to realize how useless us humans have become.
Its sadly not the same since we know there is no Thor and Odin, but Science, materialism, and a vast universe with no signs of any god.
A tad bit corny, still cool.
