The Osprey Atmos is a more popular backpack than that Volt. Fit is really the most important part of this - so if you have a chance to try either on - that would be ideal.

Thanks for the posting and for the helpful analysis! At least one volcanologist from the Met Office is saying there's nothing to worry about right now, but I'm sure there are many contradicting opinions.

I really hope it doesn't blow. I brought about five N95 3M dustmasks (they pack flat and weigh nothing) and some Bolle safety goggles as well as some old swimming goggles.

I figure better to err on the side of caution as you just never know what might happen! Is there anything else you would recommend travelers bring to be a bit prepared for a big eruption?

Interesting to hear that the campers are so similar!

Looks like GoCampers offers a cooler for 15 euro, which isn't too bad. As for the cigarette port, this looks like it'd serve our purposes. Thanks!

This is good to hear. I was going to get cheap waterproof pants to wear over jeans, but I will be hiking. Is something like the following a better option?

Glad to hear the tour is a good choice!

Okay, so we did have the SPOT beacon, so we'll look into getting GPS unit. Nothing showed up on Eastern Moutain Sport's website so I took a look around amazon, is this what you're talking about?

We're planning on leaving our itinerary with safetravel and our emergency contacts, so we'll be set in that department. And yeah, we're not planning on sending out an emergency call unless we're physically stuck.

Here's a more detailed look at our itinerary:

Also, I totally get what you're saying about multiple mountain trails. the frustration is that these websites (which are official ones!) don't list like 8 trails, they just give driving instructions to a parking lot at the base of whatever location and say "the trail is clearly marked from there". Example: http://www.icelandtrails.com/trails/hafnarfjall/

Finally, for robust and massive spikes, those Grivel G10s look like the kinds given out when we go on the glacier walk tour. I don't want you to feel like I'm arguing (from a position of little knowledge, no less) but could you help me understand their necessity for climbing up a gravelly/rocky/dirt-ish slope? In comparison to the microspikes, of course, we wouldn't go without something at least equivalent to the Kathoola Microspikes.

btw you can't carry these on planes, has to be in a checked bag

If you are sure the van will have USB chargers than you could go without... but yeah make sure

I'm in the US, DC area. And yeah, the Tokina is for Nikon DX lenses. It's this lens. It was a great lens for landscapes, but when I upgraded to full frame, I didn't have much use for it. It'd come with the box, lens hood, 77mm polarizer and UV filter. PM me if you're interested!

edit- there are some compatibility notes to pay attention to re:autofocus working. It depends on what model Nikon you have if the autofocus would work, or you'd have to do it manually.

If you care more about style, as a 101 hipster I can state that I see these everywhere (I can admit to owning about 5 pairs). People either get a waterproof option or spray them with some sealant. They have worked fine for me on light hikes, but it's more about your personal expectations.

I just ordered a rain sleeve to allow me to shoot in the rain

Unless you are doing some serious hiking on ice, these crampons are all you need.
