It depends a LOT on the trip, but at one extreme: A summer overnight or two night trip would make my pack 12-14 lbs.

>How big is your pack?
For this kit: 2200 ci. (35 liter)

>Do you follow a ratio to body weight to pack weight?
I keep track of that info, but I always stay below 10% of body weight for my base (gear only, no supplies).

>How do you pack your pack? specifics?
In layers.

Oh, you mean what do I put into it? Home-made blanket, poncho-tarp, 16 oz pot w/alcohol stove, foam pad, a few warmer clothes. The basics.
