Yxengaard seems just the right place to imagine Nordic life during the Viking period. You do a fine job of displaying your weapons and armor and explaining their development and usage.
The Vikings did nothing worse than what others were doing. They just did a really good job at it. We all would do things during times of desperation, that We normally wouldn't do.
THANK YOU Tom Dear brother for beautiful video and remember that we are never to old to do things that we are love that what keeps us young so join to the fighting group that you want and make avideo that we can all see and enjoy have anice weekend

Hi Tom, what a magical place is yxengaard, one day I will visit your wonderful country and the black forest. Will have to stop off at grimfrost so I look the part. Thanks again and take care my friend. 🥃 🥃 😉
Very nice Tom. That place looked really enjoyable and peaceful. Learned a lot today thanks Tom👍. Be safe my friend ✌️ i take it Sir Cornelius was left at home to guard the homestead lol
Beautiful Villiage, it seems so peaceful. I love your new shield and sword! I can only imagine how well they would work were you ever to need them. Let’s hope that never happens, but it’s good to have them just in case. And they look so cool at gatherings!! Have a wonderful week my friend.🐝❤️🤗
Thanks James for joining me there 😊👍🏻 Yxengaard is a magical place and I love being there and practice my Viking stuff 🇩🇰 Hope you’ll have a great weekend 🏕🔥 Tom
I really enjoy these videos where you take us to these reconstructed Viking age villages. I feel such a sense of home. I like how you point out the different weapons that a person could own based on social and economic status. In modern times, in America at least, people have a hard time conceiving of a time when such things were so limited. Skål!
I find it very interesting how weapon technology seems to have remained consistent across the world at any given time. In the old time, people used similar stone tools and flint points World Wide. Here in the States, the Native American folk may not have used iron the same way but, seemed to have similar weaponry at the same time as the Wiking Volk. I always wondered how that may be. Thank you, Tom for another informative video.
Such an exquisite place you've taken us along to Tom! Yxengaard in now om my list of places to see! If you ever journey to the nether netherlands, check out ' Het Archeon' in Alphen aan de Rijn. There are some nice examples of ironage longhouses, along with other architecture and cultures up to the late middleages.
The Viking center (Yxengaard) is a beautiful place to be. Been there the first of may and it’s a peaceful place where you go back to the past. Great video Tom once again, you are true Vikingr 🗡 Skål Tom
Hej Tom from Nova Scotia, Canada. Cool video intro and very interesting short history of Viking weapons and armor used. Beautiful setting as well. Stay strong brother. p.s You're never too old to pretend fight and just have fun! : )
Just like stepping back in time to the Viking village, so realistic and strangely romantic. The sword is awesome and goes perfectly with the shield, a beautiful pair to display or if needed quickly deployed. I can only imagine how much the weapons and body armor would have weighed, a mighty man or woman would have been needed to carry it all. Interesting historical information here Tom👍👍 thanks for the lesson. I knew we'd have a Cimbrer coffee😉to make this official. Great video as always, well done. Thanks for the trip to Yxengaard, beautiful place. See you next time.
Very cool dude I love this video. I have the small axe that you have, I ordered it from grimfrost too. I want to order a sword it would look cool on my wall. Thanks tom
You look so at home there! 🤪, I may have to make a pilgrimage hehe , your new sword is a great statement, and I think that was the same back in the age a man with a sword , = a great man with wealth and not to be messed with.
Ha ha that’s probably true Rupert 😉 but I can assure you that I have no plans to “visit “ your country soon😆 Thanks for joining me in Yxengaard 🏕🔥🇩🇰🌲Tom

Really cool, thank you a lot for showing your arsenal of weapons and armor. That's exactly my thing 🙂 Interesting that the sword is called Sverth, similar to the german word "Schwert" 🗡🛡🏹🪓 Greetings, Chris 🍻
Yeah that’s right brother 😉 and it’s called sværd here in Denmark 🗡👍🏻😊. I’m glad you like my video from Yxengaard and hope you’ll join me again soon 🏕🔥🇩🇰 Tom

Hello my good friend from the wonderful city of Berlin 🤗 I’m so glad you enjoyed my new video and appreciate that you are following me on my adventures here in the old Viking territory of Denmark See you again soon 🏕🔥🇩🇰 Tom
Hej Tom. You're not too old to learn fighting. Many groups around DK have all ages - both men and women. It's just a matter of will and engagement and finding a group near you that accepts new members. Thank you for the video and you did a great job explaining everything about weapons and armor. Kind regards from a fellow Viking.
Thank you so much my Viking brother ( from Denmark 🇩🇰?) Yeah I know your right 😉 and I just have to jump into it Maybe I’ll do that 💪🏻😆. Thanks for your encouragement and kind words about my video 🏕🔥 Atb to you 😊 Tom
@@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag I most certainly am a Dane and a shieldmaiden in the making in a group in Jylland - currently out of service due to a temperamental back - but am tentatively getting ready to fight again. Hope to see you out there one day.
Great video my friend. Almost all the fighters would have had a head covering of some kind. Either provided by the lord or by themselves. Farmers called up to fight might have only hardened leather but they would have had something. 80 plus percent of the wounds found on bodies were to the lower legs with the shield and the head coverings the legs were the most exposed body part. Another weapon used by the poorer classes was the war hammer, not the mace with steel but just a long wooden handle with a large wooden head used to batter and break bones to take a man out of the fight. Spears, axes and hammers could be furnished either by the lord or by the warrior himself. Also arrows were rarely shot in large volleys like in the movies they would have not wasted them in such a fashion. They would have been aimed at individual targets.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us 😉👍🏻 Good information that shows how the Vikings may have protected themselves and fought in battles. Stay safe my friend and hope too see you again on my next one 🏕🔥🌲Tom
You avoided the blind alley of warrior re-enactors. They forget even a scratch could lead to infection, amputation, or eventual death. To learn the mindset of a warrior- look to your puppy. He knows the mindset of fang and claw. The hardest thing Man learns today is to be a man of peace.
Hi Tom, my dear friend. Nice to see you. It was a very informative video and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to comment on your videos as often lately because I haven't had that much time. Take care and see you soon Petra
Thanks Petra 🤗 it’s always nice too hear from you my friend and I haven’t comment your videos because of the same reasons 😆 but enjoy them very much 🏕🔥🌲🇩🇰Tom
That was a great time at the village Tom. That place is awesome. Really cool learning about the viking weapons and armory. Those had to be some brutal battles when they fought. Dwayne
Brilliant video again Tom. Thanks for the clarity on the various weapons of the Viking Age. I would love to visit many other Viking villages in Denmark and Sweden. I didn't get the chance to visit Yxengaard when last there, but its on the definite list! Be well and Go well my friend!!
Thanks Douglas for your kind and positive feedback 😁👍🏻 I’m glad you enjoyed my new video from Yxengaard and hope you’ll visit that in the near future. Be well my friend and enjoy life 🏕🔥🌲Tom
Well I got to make some points here. We know from the Bayeux Tapestry that dane axes or great axes were on averages around chest height sow 2 meters is really pushing it far. Vikings did have a type of proto hellbard though we call the long axe which is a long axe blade with a top pointing up like a spear tip with a lenght which would put the intire head of the axe over the guy's head. Also hand axes were not the most common weapon for vikings. Spears were used much more, cause they would have used spear and shield combo. The way you suggest they used spears was done with a specialized type of spear with big pointy wings sticking out the side and a longer blade that was more usefull for cutting and slicing then the normal spear. Axes were the back up if the spear broke. Seaxes were not like swords at all and more like daggers that could get really big. Helemets were far more common then you make it sound like 50% of prof soldiers aka the type of people that would have gone viking would most likely have worn one, it's body armor that was extreemly rare. Quilted armor like gambeson is really not know for sure if it was used, but extreemly likely and hand armor of the Quilted type sow mittons dito. Leather used for combad looked different from the modern type and would be more plastic like in structure, sow not like what you are showing at all and defenitly not the style of leather mittons you showed. They would have used something more like the type of gloves you use when you hold a bird of pray, or like I already said something more like big protectif mittons. I also missed you talking about the possible use of splint armor for the arms and legs, wiggas for the legs, and the possiblty of viking lamellar armor. A lot of your video was close, but just not preciesly there.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Joey 🤗 I can see you know a lot about this and I appreciate your involvement in my content. Skål 🍻 brother 🇩🇰 Tom
Cool video! The Vikings did have some really nice weapons. Their swords reminds me a lot of the Romans Gladius swords. I imagine after they had been raiding for awhile they managed to acquire a pretty good collection of different weapons and armor as well.
That’s wonderful Jeremy 😁 and welcome onboard my friend 🤗 If you get any questions … don’t hesitate to ask. And I hope you’ll enjoy some of my other videos too Atb to you and your family 🇩🇰 Tom
There's no evidence the vikings wore arming jackets/caps, they were a later invention. The seax would've been carried by pretty much every man and was basically an every day utility knife. However, in a close combat situation it more than serves!
Great looking place to showcase the Viking weapons and armour Tom. I would like to build something in my garden similar but it wouldn't please a certain member of the household😆. We have a Viking festival near my home towards the end of June, I will be checking that out. Take care mate, Skal!! 🍺
That’s great Simon 😊👍🏻 and I hope you’ll find it interesting You have to persuade your wife to join the Viking community … tell her that in the Viking age the women was pretty much at the same line as the men. Some women were worried and called shield maiden 😉💪🏻🏕🔥🇩🇰 Tom
G'day Tom... OUTSTANDING...! Thank you for, once again, taking us to such a wonderful place and sharing your knowledge, yes the re enactments some folk participate in would be enjoyable... Alas, I too feel I am a little past that age (58).... I am content with practicing archery and axe throwing at a relaxing level.. :-) Throughout the many little journeys you have shared so far, I am discovering we would have much to discuss around a fire with a coffee or two. Keep them comming....... Cheers to You and Family from the Clarence valley, N.S.W, Aust... Stay safe and well my friend..... J.B
Thank you so much John for your kindness and loving support 🤗 I’m grateful for having you onboard my friend and always appreciate your feedback very much 🏕🔥 Tom
Die Bild und Schriftquellen sprechen eigentlich davon dass die meisten oder sogar alle wikingerhelme getragen haben und das macht auch durchaus Sinn. Man darf nicht vergessen dass das Berufssoldaten waren und sie dementsprechend auch eine professionelle Ausstattung hatten und einen Helm muss nicht immer die teuerste Ausführung sein sichert aber definitiv das Leben
I thank you for describing the weapons of my ancestors.

Thanks for bringing us along to the viking village to share some more viking history. You and yours take care. See you again soon my friend. 🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
Welcome back Jason 😊👍🏻 hope you had a great vacation. I’m glad you like my video from Yxengaard and it was nice of you to drop by 🏕
Tom
Welcome back my friend!! Wow yes i love the shield! Beautiful sword you have, What is that grove down the middle of it for?
It has many purposes 😉👍🏻
A blood groove … and for minimising the us of iron and also too make it lighter 🏕🔥
Tom

Tom
Itwouldnt surprise me as a breaking news that the Vikings may very well invented the wheel 🌄
Hej Tom. You're not too old to learn fighting. Many groups around DK have all ages - both men and women. It's just a matter of will and engagement and finding a group near you that accepts new members. Thank you for the video and you did a great job explaining everything about weapons and armor.
Kind regards from a fellow Viking.
Thank you so much my Viking brother ( from Denmark 🇩🇰?)
Yeah I know your right 😉 and I just have to jump into it
Maybe I’ll do that 💪🏻😆. Thanks for your encouragement and kind words about my video 🏕🔥
Atb to you 😊 Tom
@@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag I most certainly am a Dane and a shieldmaiden in the making in a group in Jylland - currently out of service due to a temperamental back - but am tentatively getting ready to fight again. Hope to see you out there one day.
Thanks for your feedback my danish shield maiden 💪🏻😁
Great video my friend. Almost all the fighters would have had a head covering of some kind. Either provided by the lord or by themselves. Farmers called up to fight might have only hardened leather but they would have had something. 80 plus percent of the wounds found on bodies were to the lower legs with the shield and the head coverings the legs were the most exposed body part. Another weapon used by the poorer classes was the war hammer, not the mace with steel but just a long wooden handle with a large wooden head used to batter and break bones to take a man out of the fight. Spears, axes and hammers could be furnished either by the lord or by the warrior himself. Also arrows were rarely shot in large volleys like in the movies they would have not wasted them in such a fashion. They would have been aimed at individual targets.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us 😉👍🏻 Good information that shows how the Vikings may have protected themselves and fought in battles. Stay safe my friend and hope too see you again on my next one 🏕🔥🌲Tom
You avoided the blind alley of warrior re-enactors. They forget even a scratch could lead to infection, amputation, or eventual death. To learn the mindset of a warrior- look to your puppy. He knows the mindset of fang and claw. The hardest thing Man learns today is to be a man of peace.
Thank you so much Jack for your interesting feedback 😊
I’m grateful that you are sharing your knowledge with us. Stay safe my friend 🏕🔥
Tom
Keep on the good work
Thank you so much Neth 🤗 I’m glad you like my Viking videos and appreciate that you joined me again 🏕🔥🇩🇰
Tom
Hi Tom, my dear friend. Nice to see you. It was a very informative video and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to comment on your videos as often lately because I haven't had that much time. Take care and see you soon Petra
Thanks Petra 🤗 it’s always nice too hear from you my friend and I haven’t comment your videos because of the same reasons 😆 but enjoy them very much 🏕🔥🌲🇩🇰Tom
Thanks for the video..was awesome as always.. psst Cornelius, don't take his food without permission he has a weapon now.
Ha ha that’s right 😉👍🏻🐕😆
Appreciate that you came along again my friend 🏕🔥
Tom
That was a great time at the village Tom. That place is awesome. Really cool learning about the viking weapons and armory. Those had to be some brutal battles when they fought.
Dwayne
Yeah that’s right Dwayne 😉 and especially the Beserkers was fearless and didn’t use any protection 💪🏻🏕🔥Tom
Nice presentation my Friend,
Thanks Brian 🤗 appreciate that brother 👍🏻🏕🔥🇩🇰Tom
Brilliant video again Tom. Thanks for the clarity on the various weapons of the Viking Age. I would love to visit many other Viking villages in Denmark and Sweden. I didn't get the chance to visit Yxengaard when last there, but its on the definite list!
Be well and Go well my friend!!
Thanks Douglas for your kind and positive feedback 😁👍🏻
I’m glad you enjoyed my new video from Yxengaard and hope you’ll visit that in the near future. Be well my friend and enjoy life 🏕🔥🌲Tom
I enjoyed this video especially since i have the exact same axe and sword from grimfrost as you do! Skål from sweden!
Skål 🍻 my Swedish 🇸🇪 brother 😁👍🏻 and great that you have the same axe and sword as me🤗
Thanks for the feedback 🏕🔥🌲Tom
Cool!
Thank you so much 🤗 I’m glad you like it and appreciate your kind feedback very much
See you soon 🏕🔥🐕
Tom
Well I got to make some points here. We know from the Bayeux Tapestry that dane axes or great axes were on averages around chest height sow 2 meters is really pushing it far. Vikings did have a type of proto hellbard though we call the long axe which is a long axe blade with a top pointing up like a spear tip with a lenght which would put the intire head of the axe over the guy's head. Also hand axes were not the most common weapon for vikings. Spears were used much more, cause they would have used spear and shield combo. The way you suggest they used spears was done with a specialized type of spear with big pointy wings sticking out the side and a longer blade that was more usefull for cutting and slicing then the normal spear. Axes were the back up if the spear broke. Seaxes were not like swords at all and more like daggers that could get really big. Helemets were far more common then you make it sound like 50% of prof soldiers aka the type of people that would have gone viking would most likely have worn one, it's body armor that was extreemly rare. Quilted armor like gambeson is really not know for sure if it was used, but extreemly likely and hand armor of the Quilted type sow mittons dito. Leather used for combad looked different from the modern type and would be more plastic like in structure, sow not like what you are showing at all and defenitly not the style of leather mittons you showed. They would have used something more like the type of gloves you use when you hold a bird of pray, or like I already said something more like big protectif mittons. I also missed you talking about the possible use of splint armor for the arms and legs, wiggas for the legs, and the possiblty of viking lamellar armor. A lot of your video was close, but just not preciesly there.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Joey 🤗
I can see you know a lot about this and I appreciate your involvement in my content. Skål 🍻 brother 🇩🇰
Tom
Interesting video Tom.
Thanks John 😉👍🏻 I’m glad you enjoyed it my friend 🏕
Tom
Cool video! The Vikings did have some really nice weapons. Their swords reminds me a lot of the Romans Gladius swords. I imagine after they had been raiding for awhile they managed to acquire a pretty good collection of different weapons and armor as well.
Yeah I guess your right my friend 😉👍🏻 and appreciate your feedback very much 🤗
Thanks for dropping by again
Atb to you 🏕🔥🌲🇩🇰Tom
very awesome 👌
Thanks Broseph 🤗 I’m so glad you enjoyed it my friend and hope too see you again on my next one 🏕🔥Tom🇩🇰
Just discovered your channel, already subscribed.
That’s wonderful Jeremy 😁 and welcome onboard my friend 🤗 If you get any questions … don’t hesitate to ask. And I hope you’ll enjoy some of my other videos too
Atb to you and your family 🇩🇰
Tom
The Saxe was used in the shield wall to stab the legs......arming jackets were worn under chain mail, as well as, an arming cap worn under the helmet.
Thank you so much Bob for sharing this with us 😉👍🏻 and for watching my videos
See you again soon 🏕🔥🇩🇰
Tom
There's no evidence the vikings wore arming jackets/caps, they were a later invention.
The seax would've been carried by pretty much every man and was basically an every day utility knife. However, in a close combat situation it more than serves!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us my friend
See you again soon 🏕🔥🇩🇰
Tom
Great looking place to showcase the Viking weapons and armour Tom. I would like to build something in my garden similar but it wouldn't please a certain member of the household😆. We have a Viking festival near my home towards the end of June, I will be checking that out. Take care mate, Skal!! 🍺
That’s great Simon 😊👍🏻 and I hope you’ll find it interesting
You have to persuade your wife to join the Viking community … tell her that in the Viking age the women was pretty much at the same line as the men. Some women were worried and called shield maiden 😉💪🏻🏕🔥🇩🇰
Tom
G'day Tom... OUTSTANDING...! Thank you for, once again, taking us to such a wonderful place and sharing your knowledge, yes the re enactments some folk participate in would be enjoyable... Alas, I too feel I am a little past that age (58).... I am content with practicing archery and axe throwing at a relaxing level.. :-) Throughout the many little journeys you have shared so far, I am discovering we would have much to discuss around a fire with a coffee or two. Keep them comming....... Cheers to You and Family from the Clarence valley, N.S.W, Aust... Stay safe and well my friend..... J.B
Thank you so much John for your kindness and loving support 🤗 I’m grateful for having you onboard my friend and always appreciate your feedback very much 🏕🔥
Tom
huh...bliver næsten bang af dig....😊😊😊...hilsen Blanka
Ha ha 😆 ingen grund til 😁
Tom
Dejlig video som altid! 👍
Mange tak min ven 😉👍🏻🇩🇰 og dejligt at se dig igen 🏕
Tom
Круто 👍
Thanks a lot my friend 😊👍🏻
Tom
Die Bild und Schriftquellen sprechen eigentlich davon dass die meisten oder sogar alle wikingerhelme getragen haben und das macht auch durchaus Sinn. Man darf nicht vergessen dass das Berufssoldaten waren und sie dementsprechend auch eine professionelle Ausstattung hatten und einen Helm muss nicht immer die teuerste Ausführung sein sichert aber definitiv das Leben
👌 👍
Thanks Chris 🤗appreciate that very much brother 🏕🔥
