backpack for carrying 3 AL80 tanks

[Underwater Tourist]

What do people use to carry tanks around?

Say I need to walk ~15 min from the car to the dive site and will be diving SM with 1 stage and I dont want to make several trips to carry all my tanks

I am hoping to get recommendations on the lightest "backpack" that would fit 3 AL80s

(a trolley won't work for me, looking specifically to carry the tanks on the back)

There is a pack frame Backcountry hunters use for packing out game...

I don't know about a pack, but I want to be your chiropractor!

15mins is easy. Make more roundtrips cause if you slip & fall with a 125lb pack on you're going to hurt something badly

What about a 2-wheel hand truck? Not many people could safety carry that much weight. Especially down a rough trail.

Fair point on the slipping and falling, but the original questions still stands (lets call it for 2 tanks instead of 3)

the framed hunting backpacks like @rhwestfall suggested look pretty nice

What's wrong with making something simple to try it out? Like a wooden backplate that's shaped in an L with side gussets. Use some old webbing. Screw or bolt it to the back plate.
And a ratchet strap around your tanks...
At least you would have a proof of concept, and know if its doable....

I hate walking back and forth with gear. And understand why you want it on all in one load

Hire a local for surface support?

My buddy Rob in Tulum hires a sherpa for the day.
If your planning for Tulum - When and I will do the same.!!

I do not have any personal experience with these bags but I know Marissa (Hidden Worlds Mexico) was selling them at one point. They can hold 2 Al80s. I've seen some people use them.
