[QUOTE="spdcrazy, post: 1183337, member: 10652"] I have done a few backpack hunts. I used the USMC ILBE pack for its shear size! I worked well but if I recall correctly, its something like 8lbs empty. I do remember some people doing some weight shaving by removing tabs and stuff they wouldn't use, but all in all it is still a heavy pack. very well made, and very comfortable. it fit my entire bear hide plus some meat in it, in fact. I am no longer in Alaska, but planning a few long hike backpack hunts and i'm looking into a freighter frame. something minimal and light weight, i'll put all my stuff in a dry bag, lash it to the external frame and have at it. that way I am not limited to the bag's size for the meat on the pack out. I noticed with my ILBE pack, it was difficult to use the space effiecently (think of the shape of a quarter elk/bear/moose/caribou). an external frame pack eliminates this. just my two cents [/QUOTE]
