Osprey Aether Plus 60 Pack - Men's vs Osprey Escapist 25

I'm looking for tips on his/where to pack a larger tent. Me, the fiance, and it two did will be taking a 2-3 day trip out into the national forests up here in Michigan this upcoming weekend. I opted for a four person tent to accommodate the three space hogs, but I'm having trouble packing it where it won't put to much strain on my collarbone.

I have an Osprey Escapist 25 which is the wrong size for me (makes my back hurt a lot) so I'm looking to replace it. I'm torn between Talon 22 and Talon 33 (I'm a loyal Osprey fan who owns 4 osprey bags, lol).

Compared to my ancient external frame backpack I’ve had for years, this backpack is literally a game changer. The range and ease of adjustability makes it simple to get the fit just right. This is both good and bad because the pack is so easy to carry that I’m no longer tempted to keep the load as lightweight as possible! Yes, there are lighter options out there. But I’ll gladly trade a slight amount of weight for comfort and convenience
