This is the pack I use. I cut off alot of unnecessary straps. I also cut off all excess on the shoulder straps and waist band so it is custom fit to me. You would be surprised by the weight I saved by doing that.
Wow- $63 is quite a steal. I may have to get this one. Looks like it weighs about 4.5 pounds which is probably fine for me since I'm new at this. What is the maximum amount of weight you would load it with?
Thanks for the recs everyone.

I would bet if you leave the internal frame and everything in you could load it with up to 40lbs. I like to go lightweight though, so my base weight is 15lbs and I am at about 20-25 lbs with food and water. I took the internsl frame out of mine to cut some weight. Between that and removing unnecessary straps and buckles I have that pack well under 4 lbs.
