I wouldn't think so, unless you have some form of contra-gravity.
The advantage to the pack (and accepting the disadvantage that the pack itself has some weight too) is that you have your hands free for other things (like carrying a weapon or grabbing an apple off a tree or....).
It also provides the advantage of containing all of the stuff in it, so that after putting it down, you pick up one object (the pack) rather than each of the items in it.
