A few friends and I headed up to Algonquin for a 4 night trip on the Western Uplands backpacking trail. Most of us are hammock campers, and I was ultralight with a base weight at 9.97lbs
Here is my pack currently:

I excluded a few pieces of gear for this trip to get under 10lbs - I went without a raincoat, rain kilt, pack cover, and a couple other things. The bear spray alone is 300g (10.5oz), but I can't convince myself to leave it at home. I also include the weight of my camera gear and extra batteries. I also used my girlfriend's Dutchwear PolyD hammock for the first time. It took some getting used to, but it was very comfortable. I usually have a built-in bug net like on my Blackbird XLC and Hammeck Netty. My ENO Doublenest doesn't have a built-in bug net, but it is wider so things don't fall out as easily. Since I use a pad on my feet along with my 3/4 Yeti, it was slipping out of the hammock a bit. I almost got used to it though. Let me know if anyone has any questions.
I made a short video of our adventure. Hope you like it,
