I'm guessing this or Stone Glacier, the Seek Outside 3500ish load shelf packs are really light.

If you're going for smallest pack, I'd say the MR mule on a guidelight mt frame.
I think it weighs about 4ish lbs and is 23L

 

[willfrye027]

Kuiu 1800 is pretty darn small/light. Can pack out a small quartered deer with some careful loading

Elkhorn?

Elkhorn (2500 ci) or Long X (4000 ci).

What about the women’s version of the K4?

 

[Brontosaurus]

If you got a K4 with just the load crib and some belt pouches it'd be pretty capable and light.

A bare SG frame.

Did they stop making this? I can’t find it on their site. I have one but wanted to look up something on it and can’t find it.

No idea, maybe they did?

is it the frame size being to big?

The EXO frame with lid and cargo panel is ultra light. How I hunted most the year. But not sure how small their frames get,

Seek outside frame with Merlin bag and load shelf is a hair under 3 lb 11 oz. This includes 3.5oz lumbar pad and 6 straps for the bag (.5 oz each)
