-a backpack is (in its simplest form) a ‘cloth sack’ carried on one’s back and secured with 2 ‘straps’ that go over the [shoulders]-
.
(but there can be ‘variations’)
.
(lightweight types of ‘backpacks’ are sometimes worn on only 1 ‘shoulder strap’)
(‘backpacks’ are commonly used by ‘hikers’ and ‘students’, and are often preferred to ‘handbags’ for carrying heavy loads or carrying any sort of equipment, because of the limited capacity to carry heavy weights for long periods of time in the ‘hands’)
(‘large backpacks’, used to carry loads over 10 kg (22 lbs), as well as smaller ‘sports backpacks’ (e.g. ‘running’, ‘cycling’, ‘hiking’, and ‘hydration’), usually offload the largest part (up to about 90%) of their weight onto padded hip belts, leaving the shoulder straps mainly for stabilizing the ‘load’)
(this improves the potential to carry heavy loads, as the ‘hips’ are stronger than the ‘shoulders;, and also increases ‘agility’ and ‘balance’) since the ‘load’ rides nearer the wearer’s own center of ‘mass’)
(in ‘ancient times’…
(bur what does ‘ancient actually MEAN?…what’s the ‘cutoff date’ for ‘beginning’ to ‘end’…?)’
…the ‘backpack’ was used as a means to carry the hunter’s larger game and other types of prey and tas a way of easier transport for other materials)
(in the cases of larger hunts, the ‘hunters’ would dismember their ‘prey’ and distribute the pieces of the ‘animal’ around, each one packing the ‘meat’ into many ‘wrappings’ and then into ‘bags’ which they placed on to their ‘backs’)
(the ‘bag’ itself would be made up of ‘animal hide’ and ‘skin’ and sewn together by ‘animal intestines’, which would be woven together tightly to make a sturdy thread-like material)
(‘baggage’ or luggage consists of ‘bags’, ‘cases’, and containers which hold a traveller’s articles during ‘transit’)
(the modern ‘traveler’ (NOT ‘traveller’ you silly limeys!) can be expected to have packages containing ‘clothing’, ‘toiletries’, ‘small possessions’, ‘trip necessities’, and on the return-trip, ‘souvenirs’)
.
(for some people, ‘luggage’ and the ‘style thereof’ is representative of the owner’s ‘wealth’)
(“why on earth would anyone want to (“feel the need to”???) ‘flaunt their wealth?”)
.
(‘baggage’ (not ‘luggage’), or baggage train, can also refer to the ‘train’ of ‘people’ and ‘goods’, both ‘military’ and of a ‘personal nature’, which commonly followed pre-modern armies on campaign)
