A question for successful ultralighters.... how much of your stuff goes
INSIDE the pack, and how much goes OUTSIDE?  I did an overnight last year
with a 2000 cubic inch daypack, and it went fine, but my sleeping pad,
bivy, and maybe even my bag were strapped to the outside.  On the other
hand, I know that I can get everything for a week INSIDE a 4,500 cubic inch
pack.
