gathered end 1.9oz nylon hammock + straps, 3 season down TQ and UQ, Silnylon Hex tarp --- plenty light/durable unless you want to get fastidious ;-)

I have a 10' dream hammock Darien,in 1.6 HyperD with whoopies and 6' straps coming in at 18.66 oz.

My 10' dutch netless in 1.6 Argon, with a fronkey net, whoopies, toggles and 6' straps comes in at 19.28 oz

For a solo backpacking one or two nighter I'd be tempted to take my 11' Hexon 1.0. Longer than that it'd be either Hexon 1.6 or HyperD 1.6. 1.0 gives a bit too much shoulder squeeze and is a bit soft in lumbar support for longer term comfort (for me). 7/64 Amsteel CL's. 12' 2.2 Kevlar straps with Adutchables > J-Bend > CL's. HG CF standard with doors. Ti stakes. Hookworms. Zing-it for both RL's and all tie-outs. Dutch hook and 3 wasps on CRL. The extra 2 wasps center the tarp instead of prusik's. Fronkey bug net. Polycryo ground cloth. 20* Loco Libre down UQ. For summer, modified costco down TQ, or if that's too hot a modified silk liner.

ZPack Arc Haul with tall left pocket (for tarp, stakes, poles) and DIY waist belt water bottle pockets. Ti canister stove w/hose. 600ml ti pot with DIY alum foil lid and reflectix cozy. Long handled Ti folding spork.

Sorry I don't know the weights off the top of my head and I haven't setup the latest changes in geargrams, but all that stuff is pretty darned light.

My lightest summer setup is a nano with whoopies/tree straps/toggle and the old MLD spinnaker fabric asym (w 2 titanium stakes) attached directly to the whoopies. (15.75 oz for all) and down 50° quilts- TQ from JRB, Phoenix UQ. (26.7 oz total). That's 42.45 oz or 2.65 lbs if, like me, lbs fits the way you think.

I can get it to 40 oz with my as of yet unused JRB fleece blanket... hmmm.

I always wonder why ppl use Kevlar huggers then whoopies when this is so much simpler and lighter when everything is said and done? I've been thinking about switching to this for so long and I think I will now that I see it's only 1.9oz

I just like my toggles. No particular reason....I just do. When I look at them they make me happy. And the whopping 2 grams they weigh does not effect me.
Comes down to choice and personal preference.

Those sure are purty toggles

In my experience, hanging a continuous loop on a MSH allows for quicker fine adjustments. The whoopie slings typically stay in the pack unless the trees at my most coveted spot are either slightly too far apart for my tree straps or the diameter of either of those trees is large enough to utilize most of the tree strap.

Think "Tools in your tool box" or "Golf Clubs in your bag". No body asks "Why do people carry a Fairway Driver if they already have Irons in their bag?"
