Noble Friends, Especially Vikings:

The March 2017 issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC arrived yesterday. The lead 
feature article is all about Vikings, with photos of longships, swords, 
armor, clothing, and of course plunder. There are lots of cool ideas 
were for anyone of us who portrays a Viking.

Also from Natgeo 360 is a video about Wolin Viking Festival in Poland, a 
huge experimental archaeology settlement and battlefield. The 
photography is spectacular, if you can get past the fish-eye lense they 
used to photograph everything:

. A YouTube search on "Wolin Viking Festival" brings enough videos to 
tide you over until the next History Channel THE VIKINGS bloodfest. I 
sampled this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM-afOXLBdM . Those 
guys are using real steel!

Yours Aye,
