[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 854679, member: 54178"] 170, That's a good weight for your pack that may have to carry a deer quarter out plus your gear. I realize we can't do UL backpacks for hunting but some hunting packs could be a lot lighter without giving up durability. I have a 2.5 lb. pack (REI Cruise UL 60) that has carried 30 to 35 lb loads for weeks at a time for the last 5 years and is still in very good shape. Another 1 or 2 lbs. of pack eight for higher loads would not be unreasonable. On the other hand my 1990s 7.5 lb Dana Designs Terraplane is reserved only for big winter loads. "I may be crazy but I ain't stupid." 7.5 lbs. is too much for any pack. [/QUOTE]
