Viking Camp and Traditional Archery, Campfire Cooking in Viking Tent

[@SteveWFitch]

What a great opening shot! Love your Viking vids. I really need to try out some archery!

[@FishyPOL]

Agreed, Steve!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks, Steve! Yes, you should get a bow and start practicing, it’s fun and relaxing as well.

[@danrich92]

I would really recommend primitive, its much more satisfying

[@samim.5091]

The outro was also good, the nature is so relaxing

[@thekg6811]

Is that not the most manly thing ever, cooking delicious tasty bacon 🥓 with an axe. Skol my friend. Love the music in this video. Thank you again for taking us on your journeys and adventures.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thank you, my friend.

[@dimeholt2402]

kkkk skol e axe foi foda

[@brightpurpleviking]

“I’d rather burn down my tent right now rather than (be on display out there). I need my privacy right now”. I’m certain that is written on a rune somewhere. LOL I know exactly how you feel! I think most writers and probably most Vikings feel or felt the same way. Great video thank you!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

brightpurpleviking Thanks for understanding. Made my day, actually.

[@opwards]

Yep. Sometimes ya just have to take time away. Even if doing a display the being in a fish bowl thing can get too much. Its too christiany outside. I think i will stay in today untill the christians pass lol

[@Torsteen-p3d]

Finn here, I feel that every time I have to participate in a celebration or event. Large amounts of people make me feel like a goldfish in a bowl being stared at from every direction

[@davidknighton7478]

I am a pastor in America and I live in a fish bowl. Everyone is watching and sometimes you need to get away. I understand the way you feel and never feel like you have to explain yourself, just find your quiet place. I'm a Christian and I have to remind myself that in the busiest time of Jesus ministry he retreated to be alone.

[@tonyastewart471]

I about fell on the floor with laughter when I saw the axe cooking....so much like a man!!! You are so funny and do not realize it! You make me smile big! I am the exact same way with crowds...just want to crawl under a rock until it passes. Loved all the handcrafted things....I want that cooking setup with the ironwork. You are a gentle giant!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thank you, Tonya. Glad I’m making you smile!

[@tonyastewart471]

Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen i loved your secret!

[@Torsteen-p3d]

The most Nordic man on KZbin

[@mrsorepaws9146]

Lol - "If you have never fried bacon with an axe, you not really lived..."

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

It is the truth!

[@NickolaUniverse]

yow! He looks like Dave Grohl!

[@Catastrofius]

This was an incredibly peaceful video. So much so, I watched it twice. I too belong to a living history group and I fully understand what you mean about being on display. Thanks for letting us into your world. It is a nice escape from mine.

[@MiaogisTeas]

Yep, that feeling is really draining. As a teacher and photographer in Asia I felt like this often, but whenever I did the solution to the problem was either find some solitude or take control of the situation and begin teaching someone or creating something. If I'm leading even just one person, I'm happy to let others watch. 🙏

[@pattisimmons67]

I was really feeling for you on your thoughts of being on display. As much as the history of our ancient cultures must be kept alive, it's very hard to be viewed as some kind of "oddity". There are many who feel that way just trying to live their life in the most honest and humble ways they can. Myself included. I think your videos are exceptional and the skills you teach SHOULD be taught as life skills. Thank you for keeping the traditions alive and for sharing them with not only us here on YT, but with everyone we share them with as well. Much love!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thank you, Patti. That is very nice of you to say!

[@DobleWhiteAndStabley]

I hadn't even realized those few strikes had actually lit the charcloth! The way you handle Flint and steel is near mythical. Wow.

[@cowdogg3085]

Even with the rain I love your Vikings videos! Thank you for all your hard work.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks a lot!

[@nancysalerno7036]

I truly feel that nature sent the rain to soothe your spirit and put an end to all the the uncomfortable vibes that were building. Surely you are one of natures most favored beings. Peace always.

[@soniaannwillard8635]

👋🙌🙌✌😉 Heeehee ,loved the look on young man's face when you shot your arrow,and the difference in the SOUND,of your arrow & his ,hitting the target 🙌🙌👍🌠Thank You. World could be so much better if we all went back to some of Our Old Traditions🙏✌💝👣🌠

[@echojaxx8550]

I am just a simple teenager in America, and I can’t help but be completely fascinated by all of your videos. I have a very good amount of Norwegian, and Scandinavian ethnicity. I know of the Vikings, and their runes. I only wish I could have the time to put it into practice...

[@stephenblackwell8033]

Thank you for keeping tradition alive! I enjoy your videos and love hearing your thoughts on things and listening to your advice. You make my day, thank you!

[@ah5721]

Anyone else chuckle when the horn blow was really short and not very loud 😂? Nothing more manly than frying bacon with an ax lol .Thanks for another great video of Viking reenactment! I was very excited when I saw it come up on my feed!

[@kasseesmythe8738]

In these days of manufactured everything, it is so compelling (and heartening) to visually see and remember that there was a time when people were self-sufficient. Thank you for your work in keeping this alive for us, Bjørn.

[@kevinbartholemewmcla]

I get wanting to be alone when people show up and your purpose does not align with their own. It does not need to be something personal. We all have our own journeys and some energy's fit together. I feel the same at times. I will say again I feel like we were brothers in another life. Thanks for your videos.

[@livinginabox7785]

New to your channel, I could listen to you talk for hours, so calming. Thank you for sharing 🌼

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thank you, that’s very kind of you!

[@johnfife3062]

Note to self: See a guy frying bacon in tent with tomahawk...leave him alone. I'm glad you shared with us here in KZbin land. Agree re: Viking battle axe and tomahawk -- I subscribe to the notion that Vikings introduced the weapon to N. America. Bacon grease -- good way to keep the blade rust-free.

[@eyesofthegoddess2967]

To live the way of life of Vikings, is to relive the history of your ancestors, it is not to be judged, not to be critisices, and it is not the way you do. Just enjoy, just be yourself as a great descendant of your illustrious ancestors. To live in the woods, is to be private and to be enjoyed. When you need this time by yourself, just do it. Do not forget that the Vikings were in Canada before any other man from Europe, we have the proof at Anse aux Medow in Newfoundland Canada. You are welcome to visit our beautiful country and see the provinces and rivers your ancestors took when they came to Canada, also, they left their mark with the Natives. Just love your vlogs. Thank you Bjorn Andreas.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

eyesofthegoddess2, thanks a lot for your comment. Glad you liked the video!

[@electrominded8372]

People like you are an inspiration, Björn!

[@clarkey6818]

Your channel gives me hope. Sincerest gratitude.

[@bdctrans70]

Wonderful video... I too have need to be alone when a crowd show up. Some thing about turning a half century and suddenly the need for company is replaced with solitude and the dog! LOL! I don't like it when people begin to loiter around me when I go out for a A Plein Aire session. I find a nice hideaway and suddenly the public comes out of the woodwork! They are not quiet about it, they are constantly gabbing on their phones, to each other and to those just showing up... I think they forgot what a volume button was for!! But great video, really enjoyed it!

[@theblissfullone]

Bjorn, I think we are kindred spirits, like so many others that feel the same. When you talked of the uncomfortable feeling of 'being on display', that so strongly resonated with me. You are not alone. 🌷 Lovely footage looking down at the end, on the battle with the long handled axe. I don't believe our Viking Ancestors were near as violent as most think. I do believe they 'could be', if needed ... and were extremely successful at it when they had to be. :-) Wonderful video, Bjorn ... thank you so much for sharing.

[@kellyp6675]

Watching your videos is a lot like visiting with an old friend. Thank you.

[@davedube3051]

Best cooking tool ever. Don’t know if my wife would see it that way. But i like it

[@FishyPOL]

I love the opening shot Bjorn, your cinematography is improving! I share your dislike of being on display Bjorn, but it is a shame as anyone would be proud to show a man like you and you have a lot of knowledge to share. I'd love more videos on archery, especially viking archery ;) thank you for the video!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Matty, thank you very much. I will see if I can make a few more archery videos!

[@jrn8774]

The fungus used for catching spark is Chaga. Also used for making tee--very high in antioxidants. Found on Birch trees.

[@MrStrangelymade]

Yay a Viking video, we need more Viking videos.

[@aaronschuh5418]

Man what a beajtiful display of viking heritage!I love your content,your norwegian accent and morning talks.🖕🖕to the trolls/haters!Keep doing what you do!

[@user-qb5yk9um6t]

I quite like your take on the possible simultaneous development of the tomahawk-like axes in distant places with similar scarcity conditions. Much to the chagrin of my fellow outdoor-types, I often carry a tomahawk head instead of a hatchet. Admittedly far from perfect, it’s like my bow-saw: if it is needed, a handle can be quickly made with whatever is on hand. Otherwise, the head’s a bit like an ulu and an easier carry than a whole axe.

[@andrerey29]

Thank you, Bjorn, for always sharing this experiences with us, and letting us have a peek of what viking life is! Great videos, your camera shots are improving a lot and they look awesome.

[@malcolmsmith9232]

Thoroughly enjoyable Bjorn. Thank you.

[@kaffe-kaka]

Lika mysigt att titta på dessa videos som vanligt. Tack. Nu måste jag ju köpa mig en pilbåge också!

[@vikingwarbear8201]

It's channels like these that I really appreciate. I try to get in touch with my Viking roots as much as I can and your channel is a great source of help in that regard. Thank you, my friend, for keeping the Drengr alive in the modern age!

[@ImrikGames]

a VIKING with a bacon and a camera, AWESOMENESS!

[@GARTH257]

thank you bjorn once again you have inspired me to go out there and this time to get into archery with my son,he is special needs autistic and really likes archery.the outdoor life has made him improve with his mental health.much respect to you brother.much skall

[@Trashbin513]

I just stubled upon this channel and absolutely love it. Its just has the perfect mix of history, insight, personal opinion, nature, and action. Id also like to share that “if you have not made bacon with an axe, you have not really lived.” Has made me laugh heartfully. I also relate so much to burning the tent down instead of puting on a show for people who you dont know.

[@gainedcypress6745]

This was awesome. I'd love to see more stuff like this. Thanks for posting this.

[@norton750cc]

Tools are useful and have many uses, fools have neither! Great video! From Scotland.

[@lezlierussell2834]

Fascinating! Here in the USA I am a member of a revolutionary era war reenactment group and our encampments are somewhat similar to your. We just don’t have one on one battles. We will have a scrimmage usually between the American patriots and the English army. We are very big on pageantry too!

[@margomaloney6016]

Thank you for the viking video and drone scenes! You are so happy and relaxed in the outdoors - we enjoy these videos!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Margo, that’s where I feel most at home. And thank you!

Thanks for sharing that Bjorn.

[@andit1265]

The "boing" sound of that modern hybrid bow your friend is using always puts a smile on my face "boing" "boing" :P

[@jeffclarkejnr]

I love watching your videos. Especially the Viking history. Even my 20 yr old daughter likes them which is always a bonus in today’s world. Best wishes from the north west of England.

[@danielthompson6207]

I was suffering from a severe headache for several hours today, and this video has cured it.

[@laurafontenot4437]

I'm a new subscriber and I love your videos. You are just so real about it all. Love from the US.

[@gaylemesser136]

Seeing the two Vikings battleing reminded me of the story of Eric the Red when he was in Denmark doing battle. I have a tomahawk, but I have never used it to fry bacon. There is still time. In America we have reinactments of battles, from several different wars. Loved the show Bjorn. Take care and be safe. VAUGHN

And nothing more viking and manly than cooking bacon over a fire with an axe!

[@marktuohy1088]

Thank you, Bjorn. That was another very enjoyable video to watch 😀 On another note, I hope you are ok. I can see that you looked incredibly tired, stressed and you didn't seem like your normal self. Please take time for yourself and get some rest. I'm sure I speak for many in saying that we really love and enjoy your videos, but not at the expense of your physical and mental health. Take care, and I hope you are feeling better soon!

[@vikingshaman3079]

The iron tomahawks actually came from Europe and evolved from boarding axes used in naval combat.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Viking Shaman, I know. And the amount of iron they had accessible was therefore limited.

One of my ambitions is to make a bow and practice with it. Good relaxing video, many thanks from England.

[@The.Alabama.Woodsman]

I bet your tent smells wonderful!!!!!

[@DrFrankenskippy]

Interesting pt on the tomahawk. One can speculate that there was a cross pollination of cultures when the Vikings found 'Vinland' so chances are the Viking 'bearded axes' were an influence on the native Americans who at that time used stone/wood as the makeup for their weapons.

[@richarddanforth1564]

[@tanja8907]

The way you're holding your axe saying I need my privacy. One way ticket to Valhalla for who enters my space. Great videos as always. Sending good will to you.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

I guess you could say that, haha. Thank you, Tanja.

[@dhession64]

We all need our own private space sometimes, Bjorn. No apology necessary. The American tomahawk was most likely a European inspired design anyway. The tribes made theirs from stone up until the traders began bringing steel tomahawks to swap for hides. It appears yours was made from a railroad spike, but I could be wrong 😁😉....... I was at an annual local re-enactment festival of 18th Century frontier life in the Americas and a vendor selling 'hawks; the affordable ones were stamped "India" 😂 they were $25 USD and looked pretty close to the old designs so no one notices. I do like your tent, sir. If you have a garage at your house you may be able to hang the top corners of your tent from the rafters and drape the sides over sawhorses or a couple bicycles to spread them out for air to circulate. Using a fan to help push the air a bit wouldn't hurt. You'll have to park the car in the rain, though 😉🙄 I like the fire "pan", it's a great idea. Keep up the good work, sir. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

This seems incredibly relaxing! I would do this every other weekend if I was there. Except for the horse riding... I noticed your bow was significantly strong then your friends... You aimed lower and your flight speed was faster. Perhaps it is good that you are on display brother... Let them see and envy your cultural heritage! Most of us have lost our souls to modern civilization, technological advancements and social justice. Stand proud Bjorn for you have nothing to be ashamed off!!!

[@jwbaccaro]

Frying bacon over a wood fire, hanging in the woodlands, and especially drinking some ale, sharing stories with good company beats any day at an over priced lame ass theme park. Great video, Bjorn!
