Need recommendations for large & lightweight Backpack

Sorry to beat this topic to death, but I have a slightly different twist on my request.

I need recommendations for a backpack as large as my 1992 Terraplane (about 6000 ci), but weighs as little as possible.

I want to make a backpack/sled combo similar to some of the photos already posted on Summit Post. Except for using the Crazy Carpet sled, I will use a real sled.

I want to do a 3 ...

FS: Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Parka Men's Large Black

Hello all, I have for sale my Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Parka. Note: this is the SL parka, not the SL jacket so it is a bit longer. This jacket was bought in January 2008 from Neptune Mountaineering in Boulder, CO, when I was still a Boulderite...good times. Anyway, now that I am doing some more school in Mississippi I definately do not need this jacket anytime soon, plus apparently school is expensive, as ...

Aching achilles with Scarpa boots

My Ladies Scarpa Manta boots are really making both achilles pretty painful. It takes an hour or so to come on, but after a days hiking they are actually swollen and tender to touch.

Help me choose a new sleeping bag please!

It's time for a new bag. I'm looking for something in the -10C / 15F range under 2lbs. I think I've pretty much narrowed it down to:

Feathered Friends Egret with Event
Mountain Hardware Phantom
Western Mountaineering Ultralight
Marmot Helium

I'm 5'6", a cold sleeper, side sleeper with a knee pulled up so I need a bit of room and since I do most of my trips in the PNW, wetness is an issue. I ...
