Real Life versus Middle Earth/Medievalist Living - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I love to get out of town for a few days, to climb hills and look the stars.
As a star-gazer, I can do without street-lighting. As a road-user, I'm not so sure.

There are some aspects of an older way of life that I would love to try but there are some I would find difficult to live with. My wife needed heavy-duty surgical intervention during the birth of both our children. She wouldn't have survived in the first half of the twentieth century, let alone the thirteenth.

Can I be a Viking like my ancestors during my holidays and return to the 21st century for the rest of the time?
