OK i finally got the list together, If you scale back the hole package you
should be albe to use a little smaller volume pack (lighter...)

 I use a Kelty Flight for Philmont, great pack but Kelty quit making it. Who
knows why.

I think the ULA would be my second choice;

Granite Gear got great reviews for the comfort of this pack:
