[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 1362536, member: 29323"] Once I figured out that I don't need to carry elk bones, I switched to frameless packs, and never looked back. You can buy expensive packs with all the bells and whistles that weigh 7 lbs, or you can buy 1 lb packs which are basically just bags with straps. I've used both, and opt for lighter (around 3.5 lbs.) I find most backs need some additional sewing to handle 70 lbs. of meat. The real key to comfort while packing is to wear your pack every week. The best way to get in shape for a hunt is to fill your pack with 45 lbs. of something and walk with it. You'll get used to the straps, and after about 3 days it won't hurt anymore. Your calves with toughen up, and won't burn on the up hill climbs anymore. When you are comfortable in your pack, you'll hunt better. [/QUOTE]
