  2. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🎒🏞️ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to Ötzi’s hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officer’s patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.
