I read a bunch of it. If people could spend $100 to save 5 ounces, I could simply choose a non-metal frame for my first pack. Except someone mentioned that carbon fiber conducts electricity so I guess I'll look for plastic. I don't suppose they make wooden frames. And the ideal pack would have a collapsible frame so it fits in an attache case once I arrive at work. I don't expect to find the ideal pack but I'll at least look for it.
If I had to keep it 100 feet away, I'd probably hang it from a tree like food.
