The Vikings were an amazing persons, but living was very hard for them. Annually, many Vikings died from influenza, or starved to death as a result of food spoilage or inadequate food stores to last through the entire Viking axe long, severe winters. The Vikings used their life style to these winters. The "longhouse" was "long" because it had been simpler to slice down a whole pine and drag it in to a long, central fire hole, than to process it in to logs. Is practical, doesn't it?

Residents of the longhouse had "sleeping cupboards" and extended open benches along the sides of the longhouse. In cold weather, couples shut themselves up inside their asleep cupboards - a loft form place with doors that shut - to gain warmth from another's human anatomy heat. There clearly was little solitude of course, but bodily intimacy was considered a schedule part of daily life.

In the kitchen of a Viking longhouse, meals such as yogurt, wheat, and dry fish were kept in boxes buried into the bottom and covered with wooden covers that have been floor-level. The coldness of the bottom served to keep the food, and being in the floor, significantly space was conserved in the kitchen. A problem many early persons had was finding food to last within the winter. What does one do with a big mammoth, for example? It can't be enjoyed all at once.
