You're right, it's six pounds not three. A pint's a pound, but a liter is more or less a quart which is two pints. That was a stupid mistake for me to make.
A quick eyeballing of bikepacking pictures shows the majority of bikepackers wearing packs. But YMMV. For me, if I'm not using panniers, which I don't on my Krampus, I just don't have a huge amount of storage space on the bike. A hydration pack is the most convenient place to store my water.
