[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2332083, member: 97050"] I think you’re looking at it the wrong way, personally. The pack weight are indicative of the materials and size. I have many packs, but in the example of heaviest packs, I use the Mystery Ranch Marshall for most of my back country expedition type hunting, and it’s 7 lbs. However, it’s water resistance, bomb proof, great load carrying ability, comfortablish suspension and something like 6400 ci. Going lighter will shortcut some of these things and still, you shave off maybe 2 lbs…then what? Your gear, or rather your base weight is still the same…minus the 1-2 lb or whatever the pack weight savings comes out to be. I don’t know about you, but I can’t feel 2 lbs about the 3rd mile in and the first 1000ft in elevation climb. All things being equal. [/QUOTE]
