The

The Hello and welcome to the history of Vikings.

Before I introduce today's guest, I have two important things to tell you.

If you enjoy the history of Vikings, then do me a favor and write me a review. I would

love to hear your feedback. Secondly, if you have any good episode ideas, questions, or know someone

who you think that I should have on the show, feel free to contact me, as I would be delighted to

hear from you. You can contact me via my email address, which is Noah at the History of Vikings.com.

Again, that's Noah at the history of Vikings.com. Today, I'm joined by a truly remarkable gentleman,

who I'm sure many of you are very familiar with, best-selling Norwegian novelist,

Yotsman, Historic Archer, modern-day Viking. He also runs a wonderful

YouTube channel with over 20,000 subscribers, passionately making videos on everything from Viking

axes and knives to Viking festivals, bushcrafting, and reviving the Viking spirit.

Bjorn Andreas Bullhanson, thank you so much for joining me today. Well, I'm very

glad to be asked. And thank you for such a nice introduction. Very kind words.

It's my pleasure. It's my pleasure. So I guess the first question I have for you, Bjorn,

is I sort of introduced you, but you really need no introduction

because I know that many of my listeners are very familiar with your work and your YouTube channel.

You know, you recently did a lecture at a Viking, or maybe not a Viking festival, but a medieval festival, if I'm correct.

And you live streamed it on your YouTube channel, and it was titled, Reviving the Viking Spirit.

Yeah.

So, you know, I would love to ask you, what does it mean to revive the Viking spirit?

And how does one embrace this lifestyle?
