Re: 60 liter backpack with a frame?
There are always the big kahuna options, like Cilogear and McHale... if you don't mind the price tag. Also, I carried around 30 pounds in a Windrider (2010 model) when I climbed Kilimanjaro,...

Re: Summer shelter recommendations?
You could get a lightweight tarp and add a bug shelter (e.g. MLD Serenity, Alpinlite bug tent, BearPaw PyraNet, etc). Depending on how much you're willing to spend, you could go whole-hog and g...
