Glad to help!! Stick with it and you'll win.
All of us have gone through what you are going through.
Now, imagine...
1. going from a 50 lb. pack down to a 20 lb. pack...or less.
2. making a pack actually 'fit'.
3. 'conditioning' oneself to expect certain things, good and bad, and learning the 'fix'.
.....and how dramatic those changes would be. Once you tackle the above,
you'll have "arrived", and that's how we all became 'ultra-lighters' to one degree or another, all starting with that dang PACK!
Then, you'll spend the rest of your days trying to figure out how to make that overweight 20 lb. pack, weightless! An endless quest. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

note....I'm not the pack expert, but you have the attention and responses from some highly skilled folk, whom's word is gospel around these parts. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
