The history of the modern backpack began in the NW in 1920.

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems. Zep. |

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain. |

The history of modern military packs seems to have come from Switzerland. This is a photo of a WW2 Swiss Pack.
Today is Veterans Day. ThankYou to those who laid down their lives or got hurt so that I can post here!
I still use SIGG products from the Swiss.
