There are other periods in history when outdoor pursuits are a bit more easily documented, so it might be easier to answer with less speculation. Those time periods might be more recent, but still interesting. | |

Spelled out Live Action Role Playing since I didn't understand LARP! A few spelling typos.

| Nov 24, 2017 at 23:51 | comment | added | ab2 | @Sue has mentioned some caveats in writing such questions. But try one and see! For example, a question about the energy output of someone travelling over a route with (a) modern skis and (b) Viking era skis, and the different techniques used in (a) and (b) should be on-topic. | |
| Nov 24, 2017 at 20:58 | comment | added | Sue Saddest Farewell TGO GL | My fear is that a question will be posted, and it might spawn a comment discussion about whether or not it's on-topic, or might be better on another site. Because articles I read discuss evolution, Biology:SE might be suggested, or History:SE, as @Chenmunka mentioned, or maybe even Skeptics:SE. It also might end up with a lot of edits in order to try to keep it on-topic, and we, myself 100% included, might run the risk of changing the question altogether. Please understand that I'm not criticizing the idea, or your intention in asking it. It's a fascinating subject! | |
| Nov 24, 2017 at 20:17 | comment | added | Sue Saddest Farewell TGO GL | After wandering around a number of websites, my concern is that we couldn't accurately answer this, so most, if not all, of the questions would be speculation or opinion-based. Even people who've studied Vikings for years base their opinions on archaeological finds, interpretation of those finds, and stories handed down by generations of people. It's also heavily scientific, which isn't really on-topic. | |
