I got a good bounce and got my frame with gray talon today. This thing is light!
I'm not a high country hunter. I plan on using the frame as my do all, utility pack for camping, trapping, laundry hauling and other pretend he-man, tacticool activities Well, maybe some hunting and meat carrying....
I loaded it up with about 50 lbs of books, knifery, whatnots and it will do just fine. It stays ridiculously tight to the body but I did not feel any poking at all. I am totally amazed at how comfortable it carries.
With this frame+suspension, the tote is the backpack. The laundry bag is the backpack. The garbage bag is the backpack. The blue Ikea carry-all is the backpack. The tarp is the backpack... you get the idea
