>A summer overnight or two night trip would make your pack ___lbs

Without climbing gear? Around 20lbs.

>How big is your pack?

Usually 50L, but, if a long approach and snow and ice, I might pop it up to 60L.

>Do you follow a ratio to body weight to pack weight?

Nope. I pack light and hope for the best. I do usually carry more bulky stuff than my partner, though, but since I usually out weigh this particular one by around 100 pounds, I give her the heavy dense stuff. She's in much better shape than I, and, I don't want to have to chase after her, or, have her be fresh at camp, and me waisted. So, usually our pack weigh the same. She could always buy a lighter sleeping bag.

Plus, she doesn't pay that close attention, so, I can get away with loadin' her down. Who says chivelry is dead?

>How do you pack your pack? specifics?

Light bulky stuff in the bottom, heavy up high. Rain gear on top.
