Packing for Your Trip: Essential Viking Gear (and Not-So-Essential)
First things first, forget packing light. We're Vikings! We travel heavy. Here's what to shove in your longship:
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.![]()
- Weapons: An axe the size of your head is a good start. Swords, spears, throwing knives – the whole nine yards. Remember, subtlety is not our strong suit.
- Warm Clothes: It might be England, but it gets surprisingly chilly. Unless you fancy frostbite to match your berserker rage, pack some furs and a decent cloak.
- A Snack or Two: Raiding is hungry work. Jerky, some hearty bread, maybe a suspicious-looking sausage you found on the road – Viking cuisine is all about adventure!
- Mead Horn (Optional): For celebrating victories, drowning sorrows, or just because it's Tuesday.
- Manners (Very Optional): Look, we can raid a monastery with the best of them, but maybe try not to track mud all over the Earl's new rug.
Here Be Dragons... Actually, Just Follow the River!
Finding your way to Jorvik is all about following the scenic route, Viking style. Just set your trusty longship on autopilot and follow the mighty River Humber. Easy peasy, right? Well, as long as you don't get distracted by any loot-filled monasteries or villages that scream "Raid me!" along the way.
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.![]()
Pro Tip: If you see a large, imposing city with a suspicious-looking bishop wandering around, that's probably Jorvik.
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.![]()
Greetings, Fellow Traveler! ...Wait, You're Here to Raid Us?
Once you've docked your magnificent vessel (and hopefully haven't sunk it trying to dock in the first place), be prepared for a mixed reception. The locals might be a tad surprised by your arrival, especially if you come bearing gifts like flaming arrows and a battle cry that would curdle milk. But hey, that's all part of the cultural exchange program, right?
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.![]()
Remember: A smile and a friendly wave can go a long way (unless you're waving an axe, then that might send the wrong message).
