In this week's episode of BARRACKS TALK from DV Radio: The DV Radio Crew sets sails with a primarily Veteran Crew who is trading sanity for oars to sail a 50-foot reproduction Viking longship from Denmark to Pensacola to reclaim North Atlantic history. This episode of BARRACKS TALK dives into the gritty reality of navigating an engineless wooden vessel through the Great Lakes and down the Mississippi using "rowing beasts" and 8th-century technology. It is a masterclass in "embracing the suck" to prove that the Norse reached North America first; complete with elk-skin blankets and an eventual "booze cruise" twist. #DVRadio #BARRACKSTALK #Vikings #VeteranMade #HistoryUncovered #LongshipVoyage #NorseHistory #SailingLife #VeteranOwned #Vinland #AtlanticCrossing #MarineVeterans #NavyVeterans #Shipbuilding #EmbraceTheSuck #VikingShip #Expedition - LINKS MENTIONED Vinland Ferth:: https://vinlandferth.com/ - Grab Your DV Radio Merch! https://bit.ly/DVR-StreamLabs-Merch - Respawn Finance + Free Budgeting App https://respawnfinance.com/ - Star Spangled Brewing Co.
