I just wanted to say I absolutely love your videos, I think I said it before but your my favourite work out channel/channels. A mix of humor but also informative. Standard work out videos to silly side projects like this, it's a great mix of stuff. The whole buff family also don't come across as self obsessed, some workouts channels are very self absorbed. I just love everything :)
“I had some scrap steel laying around” feels like a familiar phrase with pops. I like when y’all throw him in the mix. I came across his video on how to make a barbell and didn’t even draw the connection between y’all. Love the positivity y’all have and solid information.
Thank you Joshua! Awesome you found his barbell video too. As soon as he finds some free time (when we quit bugging him to help with our videos) he'll make some more videos for his channel!
@@buffdudes I imagine y’all stay pretty busy and keep him busy too! When covid hit and my gym shut down, I went looking around for equipment and DIY videos. I work in construction and have been welding for a few years and figured a barbell was a good place to start. That barbell video was one of the first to pop up. He’s a legend. Reminds me of my father in law.
Man I was worried for a split second at the beginning you guys were gonna portray the typical hollywood viking but I'm really proud of you guys for doing some research first, good job. Roman gladiators would be pretty kick ass lol
These people are an entire Hollywood film studio all in one - with the equipment, workshop, staff, expertise - and star power / talent. (AND personable, funny, and down to earth). CRAZY AMAZING!!! Oh yeah, and they’re like totally healthy / “buff”. (I wonder if somehow I can learn how to be that healthy too!) 😜😁🤣
For anyone wondering about the song at 9:44, it's Call of the North by Niklas Johansson. Not sure about the other one but it might be by him as well. Buff Dudes always have the best music choices for a heavy metal fan.
That's the craziest thing they have ever done in the channel. Honestly it was pretty dangerous. If Brandon might have failed Duke could have ended with some serious wound.
I can’t believe you actually shot an arrow into the shield whilst Duke was holding it 😂. Nowadays with most people to do something like that you’d need a firing range and a one mile exclusion zone
Cultures to live like: - Romans - Japanese/Samurai - Crusading Knights - Mongols (note: you will need horses) - Aztecs - Ancient Egyptians - Ancient Greeks
This video was awesome. You guys really went all out for this one. As someone that has been watching for almost 5 years I have to say this one made it to my top 5 favorites. Keep up the work dudes and may the buffness be with you!
i love this content! as a dane who has gone back to my viking roots, i must say this video is so damn nice, comedic! fun! some good facts about the weapons and history! this will get a like an a share, and may odin open his gates to valhalla
Being a Norwegian, this makes me proud. Yay to the buffdudes! you did great as vikings :P You guys are hilarious and I love your videos! What about doing someone from the Avengers next ?
That makes us happy to hear!! 💪😎 Yes, doing something along the lines of "We Ate and Trained Like Thor" sounds like a good idea. Not sure how much they go into his diet in the comics but we'll do some research.
You guys crack me up! Just the title made me laugh! Only the two of you would live like the Vikings! Love all your videos, they're helpful plus very entertaining.
I appreciate the effort that you all went through I'd like you to do this with an actual viking community and enjoy the experience of being back in time This is an addictive hobby and can be brought to the extreme
Norsemen fun facts 1) Viking is the name of a hit and run type tactic for the raids they'd conduct. 2) Vikings had multiple European backgrounds such as Sweden, Norway, Scotland, Scandinavia in general. 3) They never used axes or hammers as a weapon. They would use them as hand tools rather. They would use polearms more often, things like pikes or spears as they required less steel. Richer men of the tribe could afford a sword and chainmail. 4) You got the clothing right. They wouldn't wear furs piled on top of each other or horns on their skalds. 5) Vikings explored further than Iceland. in fact they had a settlement in the Americas called Vinland however the settlement failed because it didn't have enough contact coming back from Iceland or Scandinavia very few people knew about it so they were left to trade with the natives and due to language and cultural differences it didn't end so well for them. However there is an Aztec painting depicting a man with blonde braided hair wearing chainmail whom was described to speaking the language of the gods. It may be possible that the Vikings reached Mexico. 6) Viking were big on hygiene much like the Spartans. Facts they had these little spoons that were meant for clearing out ear wax. They're even English writings talking about how women preferred Viking men. 7) much like only the rich Vikings having swords only the rich Vikings got to wear chainmail. None of the thicker plated armor was used by the Vikings because the raid and tactics they used required fast mobility and though plate armor didn't hinder mobility much it did slow and weigh people down.
Here to make a few corrections. 1) Viking is a term used for norse people who meant overseas to raid. 2) Vikings deacended from Scandinavia and on rare occasions Finland and Russia. 3. Vikings absolutely used axes as weapons. No idea where you got the idea that they didn't use axes.
Omg as a norse pagan i loved every minute of this. It approaches the topic without offending or being rude to the culture. Good job honestly i dont say that often to youtubers doing viking history
Norwegian viking reenactor here. Great job with the video. Tips for next time: Use the backside of your axe to beat the stockfish against a log or stone to soften it up.
The trick to sound those horn is to make a kissy mouth and make a fart sound. Solution is more epic then the instructions I assure you. FOR THOOOOOR!!!
This literally may be the best content you've ever put out! Lots of work went into this, and it shows! Feels like I was watching one of those history channel remakes haha
My man Hudson, you just looked like Thor till now, and killed it by living like a Viking... You guys are the best.. and Odin's sweet piss moment was my favourite
Absolutely loved this video and can't wait for a series with other ancient civilizations (Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Mayans etc.). Buff Dudes are so damn creative and entertaining. Keep it up!
that shield has enough wood for at least 2 shields, if you cut the planks 4 times thinner, you can clue them together in a way that one has the grain vertical and the other horizontal, and that makes it so the shield wont split. also, rawhide on the rim was very common and makes for very sturdy shields. overall really impressed, I just expected horned helms and disney barbarians tbh.
I like how this hasn't got anything to do with fitness but I love it. I love history and the gym. One of my favourite fitness channels just did a history documentary! 👍🤣
Try regular greek citizens. They spend 3 hours at the gym everyday, had a mediterranean diet and I still dont know, to this day, how they could get so well in shape with it. It will be interesting because their gym(nasium)s are ENTIRELY different to ours today.
Greetings from Denmark.. the true vikings! sadly a lot of Danish has nothing viking in them anymore :D i clicked faster than ever when i saw this :D SKÅÅÅÅÅL
DIY Duke is so awesome! Buff baby viking is cute! I know he’d rather be ferocious but he’s adorable. Glad Brandon didn’t shoot low and take out Duke’s leg on that shot!!!
Jokes on the viewers the buff dudes are actually Vikings and live like this every day behind the camera and just decided to film a day in the life of Brandon and Hudson!!!
Speaking as a professional historian on the Viking Age, I'm impressed at the amount of research y'all put in. It was better than I expected.

And dont worry I'm staying buff
Thanks Kaushal! Yes, this one took a long time to put together but it was a lot of fun.
The amount of effort the buff dudes and the entire buff family put into their content deserves praise and respect!
Should try greeks next. Love to see yall rocking spears and those pretty intimidating helmets
Spartans
How can you go from vikings to geeks that would be like getting your nuts cut off
So from bearded vikings to shaved All over the body eating figs pig uterus and parrots shitting in groups and having gay sex and thinking Philosophy 🤔
Niceee idea man !! I am from Greece by the way
I need a viking buff dude tee shirt !!
If that dude really is y'alls dad. Y'all got a really cool dad.

Buff dude:”YEAHHHHH”
Buff toddler:”YEAHHH”
Buff baby:”yeahhhh”
Vikings:Skol!
My wife and I enjoy all your videos. King⚒️Duke wins the father of the year award!.. You two boys are blessed; What a dad!!!💪
As an Icelander, I love your attempt to live as Vikings! Probably never seen a more real Vikings :-) Skál!
I hope the nordic nations reclaim their pagan roots
@@Name-tf4qp Count on it!
Duke is stealing the god damn show with his viking get-up
What the heck has this channel become? Whatever happened, it’s awesome!
"There was no skinny jeans in the viking era"
Me and intellectual-" There shouldn't be skinny jeans in any Era"
jeans shouldn’t be baggy 😢
@Adolf Hitler 😂 some guys clearly never rode bikes and it really shows. Mods, skinheads. It was the older generations that gave us skinny jeans. 😂
@Adolf Hitler bet they did in some way or form.
Thor and Ragnar living as vikings.. how fitting
Lmao
"Let us party like it is 999!" 😂

This was honestly better than anything the History Channel has ever cranked out. Yeahhhh!!!!
thats cux they don't get buff dudes to do it
Except that guy that explain everyone’s real life history that was sooooo hood and entertaining
i cant believe he shot an arrow at his dad. I guess he's lived a good life... but damn LOL
Thats some Wilhelm Tell shit lol
That's the craziest thing they have ever done in the channel. Honestly it was pretty dangerous. If Brandon might have failed Duke could have ended with some serious wound.
The amount of effort you guys put into each and every video is unreal. Hands down the best channel on the platform
Thank you Andrew, that means a lot to us! 💪😎
Aga seemed in her zone making those outfits, needs her own channel! 💪🏻
It's wonderful to see what a close relationship and fun the two sons and their father have.
I can’t believe you actually shot an arrow into the shield whilst Duke was holding it 😂. Nowadays with most people to do something like that you’d need a firing range and a one mile exclusion zone
One of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time! No stereotypical bullshit and a lot of facts, amazing job!
ARE YOU ACTUALLY TRYING TO KILL BUFF DAD! MY HEART DROPPED WHEN YOU SHOT THAT ARROW!
Dudes, that was awesome. So glad you two could share that with your dad and kiddos. Great video.
Cultures to live like:
- Romans
- Japanese/Samurai
- Crusading Knights
- Mongols (note: you will need horses)
- Aztecs
- Ancient Egyptians
- Ancient Greeks
Aztecs would be a hard one to imitate especially with the ritual of wresting someone's heart from the rib-cage :V
shaolin monk would be insane
@@LukasTorquemada don't forget the part where you feed that heart to a Jaguar
You forgot ancient slavic russians
This is fantastic! Well done to the Buff family for doing this. Thank you.
I can't 😂 I haven't even seen the whole video yet and my mood is 100% better. You guys are amazing! I love your work. Keep on going.
This video was awesome. You guys really went all out for this one. As someone that has been watching for almost 5 years I have to say this one made it to my top 5 favorites. Keep up the work dudes and may the buffness be with you!
Love all your videos, but this one especially. Everyone did such a good job in turning you guys into vikings! Much love from Norway :)

Super entertaining and informative. Glad to see Hudson's family joining in the fun! Seriously, I wish I had a father like Duke!
Being a Norwegian, this makes me proud. Yay to the buffdudes! you did great as vikings :P
You guys are hilarious and I love your videos!
What about doing someone from the Avengers next ?

I like how buff dudes is a family thing.
Again, thank you guys for this amazing work.
Keep em coming !
As a Swede this is great, you've made me proud! And I also recently finished the tv-series Vikings! :)
You guys crack me up! Just the title made me laugh! Only the two of you would live like the Vikings! Love all your videos, they're helpful plus very entertaining.
U guys don't need to live like vikings , u r Vikings ⚡
Yeah, I always saw them (atleast Hudson) as Viking.
The Buff Babies are so epically cute and the Buff Dudes and Buff Duke looked like they were having an absolute blast being Vikings.
This is the most metal episode by Buff Dudes so far. Skol!
I appreciate the effort that you all went through
I'd like you to do this with an actual viking community and enjoy the experience of being back in time
This is an addictive hobby and can be brought to the extreme
Girls: why do we live longer than boys?

So many highlights..including
Buff kids
DIY
Drunk buff dudes
Dukes horn...not a euphemism.
Blimey this cheered me up 😆
Your Dad is such a good sport.
This is just awesome and wholesome, two brothers hanging with their dad while doing something cool, love it
Duke always makes everything looks so easy. Thats when you know someone has a real knowledge.
6:15 Hudson evolving into Thanos
You guys don't stop to amaze us. Really well done! Love it! Thank you so much for the hard work.
"Vikings are, arguably, more popular than ever"
Who argues that? Historically, Vikings were EXTREMELY unpopular 🤣
This might be your best video ever, Dudes!! Much love from Ireland 💪
Thank you Dave!
Once again, Production Value is Amazing!💪🏻
Norwegian viking reenactor here.
Great job with the video.
Tips for next time:
Use the backside of your axe to beat the stockfish against a log or stone to soften it up.
Best video! Great work guys! My favorite part was the horn blow!! Duke: “Shit, I just had that a minute ago” 🤣🤣🤣
This was a great one, thanks for always making such quality videos buff dudes
Damn, you guys deserve a dedicated program on History Channel.
This is my favorite video since the 2012 conception of the dudes... LOVE BUFF DAD!

Most underrated joke:

My man Hudson, you just looked like Thor till now, and killed it by living like a Viking... You guys are the best.. and Odin's sweet piss moment was my favourite
He does look nordic, but Thor has Red hair.
This was super cool to watch! Thank you! 💚
Duke had A LOT of faith in that shield!
I can tell you the amount of fun you had making this video!
"So this is how im gonna bury you"
"Good"
Absolutely loved this video and can't wait for a series with other ancient civilizations (Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Mayans etc.). Buff Dudes are so damn creative and entertaining. Keep it up!
I'm Viking myself and this was awesome . But the true scary part is when you hear the chant of a viking . It will give you chills
That was the most convincing "skål" I've ever heard from an American! Great video, you guys
//sincerely, a swedish Viking
Holy hell you guys actually shot an arrow at your dad! 😂

-Mostly meat and dairy based diet
-Get good at archery
-Ride horses
That's too cool. Top notch entertainment.
The two Viking descendants were a good end and hilarious.

what happened yesterday

@@JacobShellington i believe they were actually dressed as Native Americans lol
@@benjamincook3901 nope, the dude with the horned helmet, face paint, spear, and Norse tats was definitely going for a Viking vibe

This was actually very entertaining! Should make a mini series out of it!
I like how this hasn't got anything to do with fitness but I love it. I love history and the gym. One of my favourite fitness channels just did a history documentary! 👍🤣

It will be interesting because their gym(nasium)s are ENTIRELY different to ours today.
The best doc I haver ever seen about vikings. And what a great father you guys have.
Greetings from Denmark.. the true vikings! sadly a lot of Danish has nothing viking in them anymore :D i clicked faster than ever when i saw this :D SKÅÅÅÅÅL
This video was exactly what I needed today. Hail the mighty Buff Dudes! Buff-halla awaits! Maybe try Spartans next time? That would be rad.
You guys should live like hunter/gatherers way back in the day.
Lmao picking weeds and crap
I want more of the two guys at the end. Both dad's seem like really good beer buddies.
This looked like so much fun in the making, You guys are great entertainers. Thx for making this video.
