On meat, salt can preserve food.
Unless you have a steady supply of food all year round, you have to store food when you can get it to have something to eat when the food isn't growing.
Water doesn't necessarily preserve food. However, the canning process can preserve food. The boiling process can prevent any transfer of bacteria, fungus or microbes.
I'm not really sure doesnt it preserve it or something
Most Vikings were farmers.
That depends on the type of food. There are several ways to preserve food: Dehydrate the food (Food with less water will not likely spoil), Freeze Foods and add antimicrobial chemicals.
To preserve foods one must get 5 gallons of ocean water in a sanitary bucket. put the bucket of ocean water in the sun until all of the water has evaporated. Remove the salt from the bottom of the bucket and put in a airtight container. Keep repeating this until one has enough salt to pack around the food one wishes to preserve.
Practically all food contains some water, because the source of the food (plants, animals) was water-based organic life. It is possible to remove much of this water, often to preserve the food.
I can only guess what the Vikings had in their survival kit. Besides food and water, they would have their battle axe and spears and their armor. AT sea they would have the sun stone for navigation.
