Specs:
What's your current sleeping bag/quit situation? I use my 2lb down sleeping bag without an underquilt if it's 40-60 degrees. I use a 1lb Costco quilt with no underquilt down to 55 or 60. If you're a warm sleeper you may get by with something similar.
My MYOG silpoly 6x9 tarp with 25 tie outs only weighs 10.5 ounces and I only have around $20 invested.
I also picked up the Lixada Ultra-light Hammock for $20, looks like it's only $15 now. It is small, I think roughly 4 feet wide and only 8 feet long. I'm 5'7 and I was able to get comfortably diagonal in it and slept well all night though. If I was another inch or two taller I don't think it would be comfortable. With the included carabiners mine weighs in at just a hair under 7 ounces. One thing I worried about when I ordered it was fabric stretch, but it held my 215 pounds no problem all night long. For $20 I am happy, but for more than a night or two I would rather take something bigger like my ENO and really have some wiggle room. Eventually I'm going to make an UL hammock for myself.
I use whoopie slings and short sections of an old super thin (cheap harbor freight style) ratchet strap for my suspension. I need to weigh it, but it's only a few ounces for my setup. There are some guys selling kits on eBay that are super light, I think using dyneema webbing for cheap.
