Two suggestions: ever think of making your own? Several good models out there to choose from. I made the G4, afterwards designing my own. At 18lbs of gear you are well within the range of these packs, and pack weights are usually < 2 lbs.

Second thought, if you are able to hang the food look at an Ursa bear bag. Ursack
