Backpack style pedal board

Anyone know of a pedal board / bag set up that can be carried as a back pack?

I've got a t-rex tone trunk 55 gig bag just now, but am finding it pretty damn heavy fully loaded and putting a lot of strain on the one shoulder taking its weight, hurting my back in the process.

Ideally, something made out of similar material to the 'hard foam' guitar and bass cases (like the Kinsman I recently bought) that would remove the need for the wooden (or metal, as in the t-rex) board.

Any ideas?

That's a great idea. It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to execute.

*whispers* If you build it, they will buy it.

... perhaps I should try constructing a prototype

I'm not the only guy here who has seen (or owns) A "bugout bag"... I have an extra one, black, chock-full-o Iraqi dust that might make a nice testbed... I have Pedaltrain Jr. I use, and I agree - having a backpack arrangement would be good... I *love* that my gig-bag has backpack straps...

Hmmmmm.....
