Your clothing is exceptionally light. Unsure what you gonna use the multi-tool for as all your stuff is super light apart from a coffee machine
Not sure why you thought that when he managed to miss out the weight of most of his clothes, such as the race shirt, socks, extra socks, jacket etc, etc, and when he stated that even his beanie weighs a whopping 3oz (88.72 grams)! My Rab Merino Beanie weighs just 0.64oz (18 grams)!!! And there is no way a MH Windshirt weights 1oz!...Thats just 29.57 grams!...The lightest shirt MH currently makes weighs a whopping 110 grams! My OR Echo Tee weighs 74 grams and the only t-shirt lighter than that is the Rohan Ultra Silver Tee (The lightest T-shirt in the world) which weighs about 56 grams. He needs to buy an accurate digital kitchen scale and carefully weigh every item ho has, as most of his figures currently seem like nothing but guesswork!
Are those weights all accurate? Did you actually weigh them on a kitchen scale?
You've got three ways to start fire, two to open a can, two to find North, three to carry water.
I'd ditch the hydration pack and the Nalgene and carry two water bottles. That might cause problems with the steripen, but I'd buy a Sawyer Squeeze.
You should also swap that MSU visor out for a PSU visor.
Ican ditch the matches and its container and the sparker.
I really like my water containers though, I can carry enough to simply get water just once in camp. Also in a warm day with 14 miles between sources I actually ran out. And I do like being able to walk and drink.
I'm not completely sold on the Sawyer, looks like a PITA to operate with its small mouth bags.

Unless you love it, I’d recommend swapping out your hammock. ENOs are notoriously heavy and short. You could do a nice Dutchware Gear 11’ netless for cheap (or easily make your own). Also consider swapping out the slap straps for dyneema straps and some sort of titanium buckles. Tons of lightweight choices and options there.

Winter, cusp or summer gear? Makes a big difference with clothing and sleeping gear.
Gear list only really work if you include everything and then you can start working on reducing the weight. It should also include all weights, as I see some of your clothing weighs nothing.
No electronics, phone etc No drybag/garbage bag/ compression sacks etc
Start a consumables category and move gas canister etc to that.
Heres mine to compare and maybe get some ideas. I used other peoples as a template that suited me. https://lighterpack.com/r/czb3eu

Do you wear the Injinji and the darn tough at the same time? You label them as sock liners on your gear list but it looks like on the Injinji site they are normal thickness socks. Just curious because I recently discovered these toe socks for hiking and was wondering if they are worth it.

It's a shoulder season list. (40 deg quilt + down jacket/beanie/buff) In summer I remove the buff and down jacket. For winter I have a 15 deg BA bag with heavy pad and add a another LS layer and pants.

+1 on what people have said (especially the PSU hat).
You are pretty light. You are at the point (like me: http://lighterpack.com/r/c5r5rf) where its gonna be big $$$ to get much lighter.
I'm a bit of a hammock snob and kinda frown on Eno, especially when you're cutting weight everywhere else.
Do you have a bug net?
Dutch just came out with a good light netted hammock for about 150 with suspension. Either beetle buckles or whooped both will be a good bit lighter (and easier/faster to adjust)
