I use the plastic bread wrapper closers for my clothes pins, works well, can carry a few more. Also, you don't say which Hennessey your using or if you've switched out your suspension. When I switched out to amsteel blue, I saved about 1/2 lb. I'm now going to start using my poncho as my rain fly over my hammock and eliminate a continuous ridgeline because of abrasion (adding shock cord for tensioning). Still not willing to give up my snakeskins. :-)
