I find that I would much rather just empty the contents of my main pack into my hammock (or tarp or garbage bag), leave those in camp and then add the "day pack use items" to the main bag and carry the whole thing compressed to practically just the frame, no Talon.
That is why I bought the the Paradox pack system to begin with --> it is so light that it can be the "day pack" itself also.
This is not so if your frame + pack's weight is 6 to 10 lbs when it is empty.
This is what I did last year in Idaho. Like you, one of the reasons I bought this pack, so as to eliminate the need for a daypack if the possibility of packing meat exists.
