I also had one of the exped lightning packs and these hyperlite packs are amazing. I have had 30kg+ in mine and it’s handled it no worries

I also have a hyperlight southwest a great wee pack - I lost a lot of weight over lockdown and found the straps to cut in a fair bit so have added wider shoulder straps I got from cactus outdoor and reckon they will make a lot of difference. Will find out over Queens Bday weekend.

I have a canvas meat bag that comes with shoulder straps which I kind of incorporate/clip/tie onto the top of my pack when packing out and it seems to work ok - huntech made it I think have had it for years. It can double as a day bag if I want - like a Pikau tying off at the top.

I thought this podcast on ultra light backpack hunting in the US was pretty interesting - one of the guys recommended the La Sportiva Trango Cube boots and they are big on merino base layers.

Soles came away on my Meindhal's stuffing up my last trip - so will have to have a look at these Sportiva !
