John and Big Shawn. Those guys know what they’re doing.
We haven’t yet tried axes in our own group, though I’ve faced them when fighting with these guys. They scare me a bit. Sharp or dull, there’s a lot of kinetic energy in those axe heads.
Were the Vikings really as chubby as the guy with the sword?
Many were, I’m confident. These were people who liked their food, and feasted a lot. And Shawn isn’t as fat as he looks. He’s one of those guys who’s mostly muscle.
One of the charms of being a Viking reenactor is that it’s not quite as ridiculous to be a fat Viking as it is to be a fat Confederate private.
Maybe he’s the Norse equivalent of a Sumo wrestler.
