Exploring the medieval hunt

This is a blog about the medieval hunt around late 14th century and our attempts to reenact parts of it. Our reasons for taking on this stems equally from our love of outdoor adventure, a lust for wine and cheese by the camp fire and an ambition to learn more about the medieval world by experimenting and experiencing.

We both love the outdoors, but in medieval times rather few were actually out in the forest – it was considered a dark and fearful place. Soldiers, hunters and outlaws where the ones venturing out in it.

We are situated in Sweden, a land with big forests and the right to roam free in IMG_4878them. Swedish law is excluding all medieval ways of hunt so we are concentrating on exploring other parts of the hunt.

Behind this blog stands a small pack, two men and their Irish wolfhounds; Johan and his Boudica, Emil with his Basilard.
