    If you are packing something for "Just in Case", don't.

    Besides all of the above, it seems the largest contributor to everyone's hammock kit is insulation. Everyone has their favorite pieces, so it's really what you want to deal with, but it's also an area with the largest wiggle room. I've been working on an ultralight hammock kit and now have a 3-season pack that weighs 10.5 lbs (no consumables) that I believe will serve me for at least a week. Using the ultralight strategies of "layers", "minimalism", and "multiuse", I'm using nearly every piece of fabric-related gear for warmth and weather protection. My ultimate goal is to have a 4-season hammock backpack kit that weighs under 10 lbs.

    So, is it possible to have a true ultralight hammock kit that will serve you through the seasons? I think so.

    (If anyone is interested a description of my kit, just ask and I can send it in a PM. )

    It may have already been mentioned, but the website Geargrams.com allows you to list all of you gear and the weight of each item as well as categorize it. I think it helps to have everything in an easy to use list format. I was amazed at what certain items weighed and how much "extra" stuff I was packing.

    Pretty neat tool, especially considering it's free.

    It is a neat website. I just checked it out.
    I was just recently bit by the lightweight bug so I've been putting together a pack (w hammock setup) that comes in pretty lightweight. Here is my gearlist if anyone wants to see/comment.

    This list should serve for most summer weather. My biggest weight issue is with insulation which I've bought a cheap mummy bag I've Mod'ed

    but at 12.5lbs base weight (7 of that being sleep system) there is still room for some improvement! My next step is to take some weight off the ENO profly and bugnet.
