It sounds like the job opportunities for a lad in the old millenium were as sporting as they are today, and little has changed. It seems like I have been there. Mining has improved a bit, but the wattles and daub hurdle making is much the same. There are still a few hurdles to overcome it seems. Anyone who has every fought a backyard barbecue will appreciate the life of a medieval charcoal maker. If you have ever programmed a computer, you will know that 100 hour shifts are laughable. Working for food and a thatched roof sounds to be about it. What else is there? Programmers do those kind of hours and more and the reward is mostly imaginary. Being a Viking raider sounds exciting. A few years back we built our version of the longboat, and yes a pump is de rigeur, and on a boat everything gets wet. If you arrive home and some thing is completely dry it is declared a miracle and everyong gives praise to Frodo and Helga.(Helga is the cook, Vikings took women on their journeys. They may have been beastly but they weren't stupid. Besides if you every got lost, or there were arguments, the situation may be needed to be resolved by someone who was always right.) If you wake up someday and see a Dragon staring at you in your window, and the sounds of pillaging in the kitchen, then you will know its us. A trick is to leave 24 flagons of mead and a whole sheep in the cold box near your hearth, to placate the raiders. After a few cold ones the average raider is satiated and docile. EC<:-}
