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

Other

bear cans (rent?)
- yosemite rental
shoes
- main shoes (vivos? minimalist?)
  - Krystle ordered Altra Superior 1.5 on 5/14
    - Joe recommended - many people used them on JMT & PCT, zero drop but thicker sole than Vivos, better for rocky Sierras terrain
    - Someone somewhere on the Internet said Superior dries more quickly than Lone Peak, but I did not confirm; these seem meshy and quick drying though.
    - Superior 2.0 is more expensive and looks so blocky and I have skinny feet so
    - I love the velcro in the back for gaiters
- camp shoes (flip flops? xeros?)
  - also for stream crossings

- K to buy...some options:
  - prodigy 26 oz / $170
  - spirit quilt 21 oz / $215
  - DIY 24 oz / way cheaper (primaloft available here)
    - alternative: 2 layers of climashield apex. Primaloft sport wears faster, isn't as effective of an insulator (warmth to weight ratio). Primaloft Gold is great but really hard to find.
