Pack

- Zpacks ArcBlast
  - 30 lb weight limit
- $295 + extras
- ordered 5/15/15 (expected to arrive mid/late June):
  - Volume: 52 Liters - it was this or 60, close call, both will fit a standard bear can, I thought 60 might be a bit too bulky for me
  - Color: All Army Green w/ Black accents - was tempted by orange and indigo but was swayed by green being a good stashing color
  - Torso Height: Shortest (18 inches) - as per measurements & email to Zpacks
  - Belt Length: Small (26 inches and up) - current pack measures 22", get lumbar pad if too big
  - Shoulder Pouch
  - Key Pocket (.2 oz)
  - Ice Axe Loops (Both Sides) (.1 oz) - for future mountaineering adventures
  - Trekking Pole Holders, One Side (.2 oz)
  - Shock Cord Lashing (.5 oz) - to compress for use as day pack

Sleep

sleeping pad

Shoes

main shoes - Altra Superior 1.5
- Joe recommended - many people used them on JMT & PCT, zero drop but thicker sole than Vivos, better for rocky Sierras terrain
camp/crossing/alternate shoes - Vivobarefoot Breatho Trail
2-3 pairs of socks, probably smartwool PhD
- test to make sure I don't need liners
- all same brand for interchangeability, except maybe the sleeping pair
gaiters (Dirty Girl FTW!)

sleeveless top (x2?)
long sleeve top, like this
