The Vikings sailed from Scandinavia to just about every corner of the known world. Their boats were sleek enough to travel quickly across vast oceans, strong enough to withstand rough seas and had shallow bottoms which made it easier to land on beaches. The History Hunters' first challenge is to use Viking techniques to create an oared longship from a milk carton. They were known as fearless pirates, but the Vikings also had a much softer side - they were well-groomed and loved bling.
