And this is a kind of pretty nasty area where I’ve got a boiling pool on both sides. Temperatures here are about forty degrees Fahrenheit. So it is warm enough for edible grasses,moss and lichen. Since Viking times, sheep have roamed free, grazing here. And some of these grasses, like this reindeer moss, you could eat too. I can tell it’s reindeer moss. Look, it’s kind of white. They look a little bit like little branches. Actually, they look quite like reindeer antlers as well. But you can actually eat this. It’s not gonna give me much nutritional value, but what it will do is fill up my stomach and stop me feeling so hungry. And this is what a Viking used to use it for.

Survival is all about making the most of opportunities. Most Icelandic sheep are taken inside in the wintertime. But there are always a few that don’t get rounded up. A local farmer has left me a dead sheep, so I could show you what to do.

He’s hasn’t been dead that long. His eyeballs are still there, which means he’s probably only a few days since he’s died. You see, all of this is really, really nice meat. And now I’ve got this bit off. I can just begin to cut the meat away from the skin. And I’m gonna cut a nice strip of this fat as well. Fat should be stored whenever possible. The oils can be used in many survival situations, like emergency food or fire. Icelanders eat almost every part of a sheep, you know, everything from testicles, heart, liver, even the eyeballs.

Actually, I want to take this out. Sheep eyeballs are extremely nutritious. They are high in protein and rich in Vitamin A and D. Usually, they are the first thing to rot. But in this cold weather, these are still good. The eyeball, give him a dunk in the geothermal, cook the meat in there as well because it’s boiling. And then all of this is gonna be good enough to eat.
