A Day in the Life of a Viking Berserker (You Wouldn't Survive)

What was a day in the life of a Viking berserker actually like? You wake up freezing in 9th-century Norway, eat grey porridge, row across the North Sea, and charge into armed men while everyone else tries very hard not to die. In this stick figure animated history story, you live through one full day as a Norse berserker: the smoky longhouse, the bear-skin reputation, the longship voyage, the battle fury known as berserksgangr, the crash afterwards, and the quiet night by the fire. Along the way we separate Hollywood myths (giant axes, magic mushrooms) from what historians actually know about the Viking Age.
