You know it's bound to happen. Someone's gonna' tell you to dump that seven pound pack, There are lots of really comfortable backpacks that weigh 4# and a few that weigh less.
A Pocket Rocket is hard to beat so long as temps don't get too cold.
I wanna' see another video when you've lost 80#.

Damn..started looking at some of the light weight options for packs. Technology does march on. Unfortunately I don't have enough money to grab onto every trend. I'd say if I had to do it over again that the rifle is the most expensive way to lose weight. Fun but not the most cost effective place to lighten up.
