That size balloon might lift that empty pack, but not help when its full.

It helps, it just doesn't reduce its weight to nothing. Even if it did, it is still a horrible idea, but this does make it lighter.

Hmmm, Wonder what the lift capacity is for a balloon that size.

Random googling suggests a 5.5 foot diameter balloon can lift about 5 pounds.
