Ötzi's backpack (alternative to Roycraft pack)

Not read the article and don't know who made it, but you have to remember that a lot of academics don't necessarily have "work knowledge". Folks like Toddy actually do stuff in real life too. Mate of mine surprised some of the academics as to how he attached a bronze socket head to the handle. They'd not seen it before, but it just made sense to him. Also they used a load of carnival folk in Italy and Greece to see how they moved large awkward things with minimal kit.

To be fair, the guy had sought advice from basket makers.

Very nice reproduction.

There was some nice equipment details in this find but I do wish there was some better documentation for it.

A couple of the archaeologists have produced narrative accounts but as far as I am aware there is still no solid report on the finds available.
