At a body weight of 70 kg, I personally am happy with hiking with a bagpack of 12..15kg, which is roughly one sixth of my body weight.

Generally one should aim to a bagpack weight as low as possible, although it is known, that experienced outdoor activists carry as much as 20..30 kg with them when being on high-alpine camping trips. This weight, however, makes hiking rather unpleasant and also needs you to have a pretty good carrying system.

Generally, independent from body weight, a bagpack should be in the range of 10..15 kg for a one-week hike, where you carry your own tent, sleeping bag and supplies.
