Here is a viking village they used in making Game of Thrones. The village was raided and everything was killed except one boy who was sent to tell the others what happened. Houses made of sod. They have sprinklers to water the roof to keep the grass alive. The isolation is amazing. I think if I could give up all the modern amenities I could live in this location. A meadow on top of a hill overlooking the valley below with it’s own waterfall.
