bad ass viking

i would really like to visit!

Do you do bulk production? I'd love to know if you can work for another brand. Please let me know.

I live close to Gudvangen. They got the best viking markets in Norway

Rett og slett drittfett!

Just visited there very recently. Loved every second of it. Loved the views, loves the people, love the atmosphere, loved the place. The chief is friendly, opened his house to the visitors and a good conversationalist in english. Its a place to see to believe.

It is not "the only viking village in the world"... I have one 20 minutes from here (Sweden)... and we have several more in both Sweden and Denmark.

Sweden has the forests and the lakes, Denmark has.... something, but Norway really does have the look and feel of the land of Vikings.

It's a nice place, but the people do not actually "live" there. They get paid for their work as part of a local development company, buy their food and supplies in the supermarket like everyone else, have cell phones and spent some part of their days in the village. There are many volunteers and enthusiasts who help as well and provide a background for the visits. They often use local materials and the buildings, decorations, costumes are based on traditional design and techniques, it looks pretty authentic (given the debate what even is "authentic viking" is far from settled and agreed) and based on actual history and archeology. But of course it is all modern reconstruction and they comply with regulations to use them as workplaces and to let people visit (e.g. the are fire extinguishers etc). They have a souvenir shop (and you can pay with card and mobile), the main hall is heated and the administration and volunteer buildings have water and toilets. No one freezes, starves or dies from dysentery. It is well worth a visit and you will get a good glimpse, friendly people who love what they do and some decent information about Iron Age living and crafts. But don't expect it to be a wild viking tribe living off the land with you being a rare visitor from the outside world.

I love this culture and heritage, but if there are no women and children it is dead.

Vikings was warriors that went out raiding. "Living" in a village like this, is just living like the norsemen farmers did at home. And i dont see anything that can actually sustain a village like that at all. And if the people in this village actually lived like they did back then, they would have all sorts of health problems, and the Norwegian goverment would never allow that.

A tourist trap behind a gas-station/minimarket and a Tesla charging station. Gudvangen however is beautiful and well worth a visit. For anyone wanting to visit, look up the hikes to the old croft "Nåli" 400m above the valley floor, and the trail from the valley to the summer pastures up in the mountains "Rimstigen". The hike to Nåli is simple with little incline while Rimstigen is 750m "straight up" (but well worth the effort).

For all safety, People show Never visit any other village than this one. Becuase there are still many Viking tribes that are evil to this day, There are reports of some tribesmen invading jewelry and maybe grocery stores and all that is left is an nuclear detonation scenario upon the shops, sometimes even people might disappear. So Make all sure you visit only this village of this Viking King as This Village is Bathed in Cheerful Red, But other ones might still have that terror blue hues.

I don't wanna ruin anything, quite the contrary, but if someone is watching this and wants to travel there, be aware that the first impression you get is a modern gas station and a grocery store right next to the road, side by side of the Viking village. It's easy to romanticize the era and create sort of an illusion on how it is judging from this video. but reality will hit you different. With that said, I recommend this place nevertheless, it's a beautiful place and the Viking fair is truly a fascinating event that will stick with you for life.

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1

would say not viking bur Norse people Viking is somthing you do

Hnefatafl was just a game, it had nothing to do with military strategy - of which the vikings didn't really have any of note. In their raids they preferred defenceless targets, and in battle with professional soldiery they tended to lose. They were not well equipped, with maille and helmets being a rarity among vikings. There were trained and well equipped warriors among the norse, but these did not go in viking. And even here, their training was hardly revolutionary. Trying to outflank an enemy is an ancient concept - that's what everyone would try to do, given the opportunity. The Norse were nothing special in this regard. And the vikings had no such tactics. They attacked from _one_ direction, namely the direction of their boats. Defenceless monasteries or villages they could sack with abandon - fortified towns and cities they besieged, from outside bowshot, demanding ransom in exchange for them leaving. They preferred to avoid any actual fighting. As for hnefatafl, its rules are way too abstract to have any real life application. Besides, hnefatafl and similar tafl games were played all over Northern Europe, not just the Norse. It was centuries later that it would be gradually replaced by chess as the preferred table pastime. And that's just what it is: pastime. Strategy games do help to sharpen the mind, but neither chess nor hnefatafl/tablut have been used to teach military tactics.

norway is NO WAY.

That guy really butchered the pronunciation of hnefatafl.

Nation of feminists and simps. 😂

He sure as hell doesn't talk like a wiking though

Thats the life. I want to visit

Did the Flåm railway last year. Blessed with beautiful sunshine too. Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

When was this video made

My sister and I were there in December 2023 from Australia, in -13c weather. I did archery with Isak's guidance and we talked about our love of black metal. Meshuggah was his favourite band. He's a fine man.

Vikings knew how to sew! Garments were sewn together using needles made of bone, wood, antler, or metal (iron or copper alloy). There are small surviving pieces of garments (right soil conditions in graves, bogs) that show sewing. These people are wearing pants…they’re sewn. I’m confused…

Great stuff.

How historically accurate are these "Vikings"?

Hey, easy, boys. Spare some testosterone for the rest of Scandinavia. They desperately need it from what I've heard.

I want to live there. 🇳🇴

if there is ever an Apocalypse, these people will be ready to re-live history all over again. Good for them! The Lingo, I can almost understand it, it's close to English. Some of the words anyway. It's a beautiful ominous natural place, Norway is. It definitely has that Viking vibe.

Mælir þú á norræna tungu?

Where do I sign up?

Do they let you live there and become one of them?

they had soap but no sewings? i wonder how far of from reality you need to be to belive that, but i guess hanging skins losely on your back makes that, prolly froze your brains some i really wonder how they made sails, stole from finland?

Very cool. What language? Iceland, Old Norse?

with no woman apparently. basically a Viking monastery. ... interesting. And maybe a better option then an actual retirement home.

Bet the Barnevernet have a field day with their kids

I wish I could live like that but I have hearth problems that I have to take modern medications for! Would love to visit it looks hard but lovely.

That's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

When will they next sail to Lindisfarne to rob some treasures?

It might suggest more solitude than there actually is. The village is right next to the E16. There is a gas station and a small supermarket. In spite of what this man says, it apparently it is closed for the winter

Professional larper

Fantastiske folk!

Incredible, very interesting... Thx

It is something good that ethnic Norsemen, meaning White Nordic people(no not finnish they are half asian) and other native swedish norwegian danish and icelandic people(native meaning first so no the sami werent first and fake laws made by EU or UN dont count only native law by white ethnic people count to decide who is native such as first), this is a way to stop the ethnic cleansing of our people and the genocide by mixing that haters are using

Strikking does not mean sewing, but knitting

Lovely people, met them in December and we talked around the fire it was nice and a beautiful moment

Rail Cow Girl has many more flam to myrdal trips

❤❤❤❤❤
