Can you imagine setting sail on a wood longship along with your fellow Vikings in search of new opportunities? For the Vikings this was considered land, gold & & discovery.
We don’t think the Vikings get enough credit for the large fact they were able to handcraft a ship style years aheadof their time allowing the ship to cruise in both shallow and deep waters; along with the capability to quickly navigate and transfer people/items. They made the tools needed for crafting these ships and collected the products on their own throughout severe Northern climates.
If you were to ask someone today If, in 2022 they would be willing to get on a wooden ship & sail blindly for hundreds of miles throughout the North Sea with no technology, do you believe they would? Our company believe that in time many people haveenabled technology to play a dominating role in their lives which might make it extremely tough for them to make such a significant change. Bravery was an understatement for the Vikings as they did anything they had to do to endure. Our company believe it’s healthy to show on those moments in time and value the truth that this was before innovation, contemporary clothes, knowledge of where lands lay and simply driven by the nerve of Vikings. Theyused animal furs to stay warm at sea; they drank ale as it had its advantages of keeping the stomach full as well as dried meats & light foods they could stumble upon.< img src="https://everythingviking.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/viking-history-would-you-sail-blindly-across-the-north-sea-for-hundreds-of-miles-in-a-wooden-ship-with-no-technology-2.jpg"alt="viking"width= “348”height=”348″> On our next expedition through South Norway, we will be cruising on old Viking ships again to acquire an even much better reflection and appreciation for what they were able to do.
