After cutting and sawing and adding the 11 ounce pack bag in place of the old pack bag, my old 6.8 lb. D-3 went down to only 3.3 lbs! And i am still thinking of drilling some holes out of the frame to drop more weight. I do not want to make the frame unstable or weak, though. A new, lighter hip belt and set of shoulder straps would help, also.
