[pct-l] light weight packs?

[dude@coruscant.net (dude@coruscant.net)]

I use an osprey aether that weighs 1lb 9 oz.  its only 2000 c.i., but 
has lost of straps and places to tie stuff on.

I also have a North Face Big Shot that is about 1lb ??oz, and 2000 
c.i.  it works well too, but the osprey is really comfy.

good luck.
