@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen that shield has started somthing really cool. And I never thought I would get to actually meet you. It was a great honor that day in Saarbrücken.
Or a similar outdoor activity. I feel that video games partially fulfill our need for exploration, but they fulfill the need enough for us to be lazy and not go out and explore the world. Video games also have a lot of focus on improving and leveling up your character, but players will neglect to "level up" themselves in real life. ...or maybe I'm just making excuses for being a lazy ass, but that's my theory. I've played games all my life and have no drive to exercise or get out into the world.
It’s so nice to see someone achieve their dream and be able to live in a way that resonates with their inner self, trolls be damned! If your spirit is happy, then carry on!
Any man with Norwegian blood flowing in his veins lives vicariously through watching you marvel and smile at your heart swelling with appreciation for history... God bless you...
as a former American “civil war” reenactor we called that “experimental history”. By attempting to recreate a past job or craft or even the life as a soldier would help us interpret history & give a better impression to the general public, who frankly doesn’t know a damn thing about history as you can see by what is going on in the world today!
You're like a kid on Christmas morning showing off all his new toys. Your excitement is both infectious and very heart warming. Good for you and your family!
@Joe Black Nope. We haven't been "vikings" for a thousand years. It's just a game of pretend, with symbols of old given new meaning. It's an escape, mostly from one self. We know very little about viking culture, their mindset and morale. We can assume from written sources several hundred years later and archeological evidence, but we don't know them. It would have been far more realistic for contemporary norwegians to build a timberhut, grow turnips and pray to God, like we have done for the last thousand of years. Dressing up in viking gear and wielding an axe does not make you a viking. I take great pride in my norse ancestors and their culture, but I am not them. The line between pride and parody is very thin if you try to be someone you are not. Some cultures have very short timelines back to their roots, but it seems they also has to reinvent themselves for today to emphasize what makes their culture special. We can for example see that tendency with the Sami people in Norway, where the similarities are toned down to bring out the difference between the cultures, and the exclusivity of the Sami culture. Living in the past won't get you into the future. What is important is what you can learn from the past that is relevant in the modern society.
Yayyyyy... when my family came to America from Denmark, they were asked to settle a land. My grandmother grew up in this particular place and they became very close and good friends with the natives indigenous people. We all actually went to school together... anyway, my husband and I are returning to that particular Scandinavian settled land to build a few cabins and live there. My oldest son is going to come with and build his own home and we will all build another for my daughter, her spouse and their 2 precious daughters. We are all martial artists - weapon trained, we also are all trained in archery- the silent killer, guns of all sorts if we have to resort to that, we are also very crafty and clever. We make our own furniture, rugs, pottery, art, etc. We have iron pans that have been passed down to us from generation to generation. It is a very peaceful, safe and happy feeling. I know what you mean when you say, I can not stop smiling. I will send you an email with pictures when we get set up. Best regards.
Please tell us you have an Instagram page for all this. I would love to learn. My family has succumbed to the melting pot and lost much of its own history. I am a student of life.
Very happy for you, brother! This is a legacy that was worth persevering and fighting for. May you have countless restful and inspired moments on your land!
I tried to comment myself and taxes. It keeps getting jerked down. Its about 9 million in my state. It's about them paying taxes at 20 a day. It also writes about a tool shop price to military at 100 plus a tool. It then shows the national budget scheme. They keep taking it down. As a old talk was to use 10tax style a day for Commonwealth to people.
I seem to put a balance bill and others on the spot. They see I put facts to figures. If the pursuit of Commonwealth is the facts. Here is the other way. It was 9million saved 10 bucks a day to mass collect. Then in one day it's 90 mill. 5 days it's 450 mill. One year of 26 weeks it's 11 billion 700 million. One state one idea. They talked and raised tax. But kept the budget balanced to their way.
If the tool shop shut down was by the elect...it served Mexico and Australia. They were given 100 plus a tool. Then the budget was okay. But to fix the close ..a wall was paid ..a balance act . now my posts are down when I write. Wow. Fact checkers no.
Correct me but is 9 million 10 percent of 90 million? Then 900 million is 100 percent of 1 million 9 million times. So we all could be ok financially. Well the mockery likes my math hidden. Because it shows some real truth about big or small government too. Balancing lies are no fun..they use such a playbook. They charge or pay when they buy. They must balance to evidence it in writing. They are not Sophie's choice. Some unaware. Boy
Blessings and love to the people, trees and ancients of Norway from our own people, trees and our own ancients of New Zealand. Warriors all, ‘Kia Kaha!’
Smoke always tend to flow up on a surface that's warmer (normally air is cooler than body temperature), so a trick is to put a high stone on the side of the fire where the smoke finds its path. it creates a "quarter chimney effect" and you'll get less in your face. I knew this effect as everyone does, I am always the one who has the smoke in my eyes, so one day i started to research it ^_^ Great piece of land you have there! Thanks for showing!
I can feel your happiness all the way over here in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. It makes me smile. So happy for you and your family to have such an awesome place. May it stay in your family for generations to come!
Congratulations on owning your awesome land. I can feel your joy. I love that you are a culture bearer by keeping the spirit of the vikings alive. The sound of the wind in the trees is so soothing. Peace.
Never feel you need to explain yourself to internet trolls, let them make fools of themselves without comment. Like all trolls without a reaction they move on down the trail.
its not insane man im obsessed with the viking age it makes me forget all my worries even for a short period it just makes me soo content when im watching movies or researching
It Brings great joy to watch another kindred spirit living his or her dream , may it inspire others to pursue theirs , look forward to your chats that your property may inspire you to speak.

This is such a wonderfully positive video and I’m so happy you got some land. You worked hard for this, it wasn’t down to luck.

When they ask "Why are you dressing up as a Viking?" Your answer is "Because I am a Viking!" I knew two, one was a wild English hippy type who played banjo, wild blonde hair and beard, nick name Scrumpy. I fancy he was a wild viking raider in a previous life. The other was a red haired Scot, played just the best Scottish dance music on piano accordion, did all the Scottish balls and such (and shared his tunes with me) and he was a gentleman, a Viking king no doubt. Love your camp and equipment, keeps the past alive. What you do is called creative anachronism. Greetings from Australia.
Very happy for you Bjørn. Wonderful to see a deserving man turn his dreams into a reality. May you continue to prosper, and keep going from strength to strength.
Bjorn you’re Viking home maybe call it Joy . A simple name but in so many ways including the smile on your face it means a lot, especially at the moment a little joy is needed. Your a deserving lucky guy. Thanks for the great video’s .
I am happy for you Brother @Bjorn , Your ancestors would be proud I'm sure . I am the same way with the Mountain Man way of life although I had two sets of Grandparents that came to America from Sweden , But they were a couple of hundred years apart . I think it looks great , Well done Sir , And the very best of luck .
I'm an American with Norwegian/ Swedish roots and strangely I can seem to relate to all of this. I go backpacking all of the time so it must be in my blood.
Words can't express how happy I am to see Bjorn achieve this goal! I can't wait to see you build an awesome hut and possibly hold a festival! Well done :D
Congratulations!!!! So happy for you. You're radiating pure joy! Rarely see it in adults. After paying off our farm in the mountains, I made my husband walk outside with me in our bare feet. He thought I was crazy, but did it anyway. Just something about walking in bare feet on YOUR land.......idk what it is, but it's a pure blissful, euphoric feeling! That feeling doesn't go away, and now I catch my husband outside in bare feet all the time. lol If you haven't tried it, you should. ;-)
In doing my family tree, I found out on my fathers side I come from Scottish heritage, but I knew that. What I found out was that my family tree extends to Vikings that settled in Scotland. Since finding that out, I wanted to visit, explore where my ancestors came from, and the Culture. With the travel restrictions, I can't, so I love your videos, as it's the closest thing I have to being there for now. Thanks for doing them, and exploring Viking history, it touches people from all over the globe. And, it 1 positive thing in a world of negative, and that's extremely important.
MY ANCESTORS WERE VIKINGS FROM NORWAY. SO I LIKE TO SEE THESE SHOWS. THANKS FOR THE POST FROM AUSTRALIA. P.S. THEY MIGRATED TO DUBLIN THEN ONTO HERE A WHILE BACK.
I bought my first home 3 years ago, in a small country town that I love, and it has a veggie garden and fruit trees. For the first 6 months I was in constant wonder at what I now had; my own place, my piece of the Earth that was now given to me to do with as I pleased, to do the things I had always dreamed of doing. I gift from God.
Hey Bjorn, big admirer from Portugal here, I'm fascinated by norse culture, you're really a true viking! You're a great character and I'm thankfull for your amazing content and true personality. Please ENJOY!
Love to see an Authentic fire pit, well, out house, long house or sod house of grass roof, iron from the land smelted into useful items for a Viking home. How the Viking would hunt for food with bow and arrow
I am so happy for you! Congratulations! Now you can have peace of mind and you can relax and think properly. You have left the matrix behind and you can feel like a human being again. Living like that could save millions of people. Enjoy your Viking camp and your Viking life. I pray that you show everyone how to preserve traditional values and demonstrate how to think and act like a human. God bless you.
I just read the first Jomsviking translated to Swedish, and it struck me almost immediately that the book wasn't written by drawing ideas out of ones ass on how the people did it back then. It was clear that the author i.e. Bjørn knew what he was talking about when he explained the characters and how they move, travel etc. Just the explanation of the Dane axe in the book, on how it was used, and how he forged one to himself to us, really drew me into the story. Anyone claiming that Bjørn is just "larping" a Viking is delusional. All the hands on experience translates well into the book and I'm sure into the other books as well. Cannot wait for the next book to be translated into Swedish. Looking at the back ground in this video, the name that immediately strikes me as suiting is Fólkvangr.
Bjorn, you fit right in ... I love what you’ve done with the place ..😊.... all of your hand made things .. your chair is my favorite ! .. you must have a sense of real freedom . Like sitting on top of the world! Your family must be very proud of you . What an accomplishment ! As for your attire.. you look awesome!
Congratulations on the new property. And don't worry about what anyone else thinks about donning Viking age garb. Whatever helps your creative river flow. Sometimes a uniform or "costume" really helps one settle into the mind-frame they need to produce their creative works.
That is so true. I am 71 and haven't worn pants in ca. 30 years I wear longish skirts and usually a hat matching, etc. I am "me" and behave accordingly. I ignore those who give me a hard time, but gladly explain things to those earnestly seeking knowledge. I adore the Scots when they were their kilt as a matter of course, or my native Bavarian men in their various Lederhosen, Capes, and hats.
Why not name your land "WALDENHEIM" after Walden Pond and Henry David Thoreau. “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...” Walden, or Life In The Woods by Henry David Thoreau
And I'm sure nice new things are coming soon;)

We know very little about viking culture, their mindset and morale. We can assume from written sources several hundred years later and archeological evidence, but we don't know them. It would have been far more realistic for contemporary norwegians to build a timberhut, grow turnips and pray to God, like we have done for the last thousand of years. Dressing up in viking gear and wielding an axe does not make you a viking. I take great pride in my norse ancestors and their culture, but I am not them. The line between pride and parody is very thin if you try to be someone you are not.

Living in the past won't get you into the future. What is important is what you can learn from the past that is relevant in the modern society.

It isn't Larping if it is your heritage. Congratulations on this tremendous milestone.
Very happy for you Bjørn. Wonderful to see a deserving man turn his dreams into a reality. May you continue to prosper, and keep going from strength to strength.
Bjorn you’re Viking home maybe call it Joy . A simple name but in so many ways including the smile on your face it means a lot, especially at the moment a little joy is needed. Your a deserving lucky guy. Thanks for the great video’s .
I am happy for you Brother @Bjorn , Your ancestors would be proud I'm sure . I am the same way with the Mountain Man way of life although I had two sets of Grandparents that came to America from Sweden , But they were a couple of hundred years apart . I think it looks great , Well done Sir , And the very best of luck .
I'm an American with Norwegian/ Swedish roots and strangely I can seem to relate to all of this. I go backpacking all of the time so it must be in my blood.
You better believe these things are in the DNA.
I believe it. It's a connection with those gone before you.
I too like the North Woods; of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
It burns from the core & obviously you're feeling it..
From another American/Swede...👍
Almost always a man grows up and puts his childhood dreams aside... but not always. Cherish these moments. We will.
congrats on your land I see a happier person than the conserned Bjorn this is what you needed love you brother
I love what you've done with your camp, "Bjornhalla"
As it is your private heaven...👍
I’m very happy for you Bjorn ❤️ It looks beautiful 🌲
9:12 GENETIC MEMORY... Of your ancestors is making you happy and feel at home once again. 😊
Words can't express how happy I am to see Bjorn achieve this goal! I can't wait to see you build an awesome hut and possibly hold a festival! Well done :D
I am so happy for you! You have been talking about this for so long. Skol. I celebrate with you.
I don't see why you have to justify dressing like a viking. You're living the life that i can only dream about. Skål
To each his own thou!
My suggestion for the land: "Troll Hel" Where no troll shall ever find peace.
A more appropriate version of that would be “Troll Hell” (note the two Ls indicating the Christian punishment). Hel =/= Hell.
@@Just_Call_Me_Tim Both versions have the same meaning...
@@Just_Call_Me_Tim I chose "Hel" because it is the proper old Norse noun, plus is is the Dutch word for Hell as well.
@@Just_Call_Me_Tim Norse hel and Christian hell are not the same thing.
Congratulations!!!! So happy for you. You're radiating pure joy! Rarely see it in adults. After paying off our farm in the mountains, I made my husband walk outside with me in our bare feet. He thought I was crazy, but did it anyway. Just something about walking in bare feet on YOUR land.......idk what it is, but it's a pure blissful, euphoric feeling! That feeling doesn't go away, and now I catch my husband outside in bare feet all the time. lol If you haven't tried it, you should. ;-)
Congratulations 👍
In doing my family tree, I found out on my fathers side I come from Scottish heritage, but I knew that. What I found out was that my family tree extends to Vikings that settled in Scotland. Since finding that out, I wanted to visit, explore where my ancestors came from, and the Culture. With the travel restrictions, I can't, so I love your videos, as it's the closest thing I have to being there for now. Thanks for doing them, and exploring Viking history, it touches people from all over the globe. And, it 1 positive thing in a world of negative, and that's extremely important.
"BJORN AGAIN" this is a name suggestion for your Viking Camp
MY ANCESTORS WERE VIKINGS FROM NORWAY. SO I LIKE TO SEE THESE SHOWS. THANKS FOR THE POST FROM AUSTRALIA. P.S. THEY MIGRATED TO DUBLIN THEN ONTO HERE A WHILE BACK.
I bought my first home 3 years ago, in a small country town that I love, and it has a veggie garden and fruit trees.
For the first 6 months I was in constant wonder at what I now had; my own place, my piece of the Earth that was now given to me to do with as I pleased, to do the things I had always dreamed of doing. I gift from God.
Hey Bjorn, big admirer from Portugal here, I'm fascinated by norse culture, you're really a true viking! You're a great character and I'm thankfull for your amazing content and true personality. Please ENJOY!
Great 👍🏻 the chair and quiver is cool 😎
Love to see an Authentic fire pit, well, out house, long house or sod house of grass roof, iron from the land smelted into useful items for a Viking home. How the Viking would hunt for food with bow and arrow
I am so happy for you! Congratulations! Now you can have peace of mind and you can relax and think properly. You have left the matrix behind and you can feel like a human being again. Living like that could save millions of people. Enjoy your Viking camp and your Viking life. I pray that you show everyone how to preserve traditional values and demonstrate how to think and act like a human. God bless you.
Congrats on your Oak tree and the land it is attached too...Looks like a wonderful and peaceful place...
Congratulations Brother... Respect from California
i think i felt just the same as you do when i bought my piece of land in cornwall, england. nice one and congratulations, Bjorn.
Sounds like there's water near you or it could be tree's blowing in the wind. So nice that you now have your own land.
Not seeing any trees blowing. Sounds like water. Got to feed Yaggdrasil.🌳 Love the Viking camp! Be well.
I think it's delightful!
I just read the first Jomsviking translated to Swedish, and it struck me almost immediately that the book wasn't written by drawing ideas out of ones ass on how the people did it back then. It was clear that the author i.e. Bjørn knew what he was talking about when he explained the characters and how they move, travel etc. Just the explanation of the Dane axe in the book, on how it was used, and how he forged one to himself to us, really drew me into the story. Anyone claiming that Bjørn is just "larping" a Viking is delusional. All the hands on experience translates well into the book and I'm sure into the other books as well. Cannot wait for the next book to be translated into Swedish.
Looking at the back ground in this video, the name that immediately strikes me as suiting is Fólkvangr.
Looks like a beautiful area, I am also Smiling for you.
Bjorn, you fit right in ... I love what you’ve done with the place ..😊.... all of your hand made things .. your chair is my favorite ! .. you must have a sense of real freedom . Like sitting on top of the world!
Your family must be very proud of you .
What an accomplishment !
As for your attire.. you look awesome!
I wish you much luck with your new venture Bjorn. The passion you have for this project shines through. Regards Terry (Wales)
Congratulations on the new property. And don't worry about what anyone else thinks about donning Viking age garb. Whatever helps your creative river flow. Sometimes a uniform or "costume" really helps one settle into the mind-frame they need to produce their creative works.
That is so true. I am 71 and haven't worn pants in ca. 30 years I wear longish skirts and usually a hat matching, etc. I am "me" and behave accordingly. I ignore those who give me a hard time, but gladly explain things to those earnestly seeking knowledge. I adore the Scots when they were their kilt as a matter of course, or my native Bavarian men in their various Lederhosen, Capes, and hats.
Why not name your land "WALDENHEIM" after Walden Pond and Henry David Thoreau. “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...” Walden, or Life In The Woods by Henry David Thoreau
Good idea.
Such a great book
Damn. That rings true like it was meant to be.
Why are you dressed like a Viking? “I’m not, I’m dressed like me.”
Fake set in the park too many idolize.
This is absolutely wonderful, I'm looking forward to your adventures ahead.
congratulations Bjorn. Such a lovely spot. Thank you for inviting us.
