Hey,
Let me tell you about my 8 oz custom hammock:
Material:
https://ripstopbytheroll.com/product...-ripstop-nylon
Hanging Line: 2 Amsteel 7/64 Whoopie Hooks
On the drop down menu have to select the Amsteal 7/64...
https://www.dutchwaregear.com/big-carl-pack-hanger.html
The weight of my hammock and the material to hang it onto tree and the stuff sack is: 225 grams (8oz)
But it's only
9'5" by 68" I'm assuming you'd need more length, like 12 feet? For reference I am 240LBs and 5'9".
This way to hang a hammock slices up trees pretty badly. To alleviate damage I have placed sticks between the cord and the tree.
My hammock setup if for napping and occasionally sleeping. I've not done a thru hike with it. Just an overnight....

I'd recommend checking out Hammock Forums/Hammocking area on WhiteBlaze etc to make sure.
Purple with yellow stitching is regal, isn't it?
Also let me recommend that you look into a tiny knife/pen combo...
On ebay can find them used for like $8. Here's a cheesy video of the Signature:
