The Vikings were an amazing persons, but living was very difficult for them. Every year, many Vikings died from influenza, or starved to death because of food spoilage or inadequate food shops to last through the long, severe winters. The Vikings used their lifestyle to these winters. The "longhouse" was "long" because it absolutely was better to chop down a whole tree and drag it into a long, central fire hole, than to process it in to logs. Is practical, doesn't it Viking axe .

People of the longhouse had "asleep cupboards" and extended open benches across the edges of the longhouse. In winter, couples shut themselves up inside their asleep cupboards - a loft form area with opportunities that shut - to gain temperature from one another's body heat. There is little privacy of course, but bodily intimacy was regarded a routine facet of everyday life.

In the kitchen of a Viking longhouse, ingredients such as for example yogurt, feed, and dry fish were saved in drums buried into the ground and covered with wooden tops that have been floor-level. The coldness of the floor helped to preserve the foodstuff, and being in the bottom, significantly place was conserved in the kitchen. An issue several early people had was finding food to last within the winter. What does one do with a sizable mammoth, for instance? It can't be eaten all at once.
