I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Backcountry Access Dozer 2H Shovel

The Backcountry Access Dozer 2H Shovel is perfect for those who venture into the backcountry. It has been specifically designed for self-propelled travelers, offering a balance between carry weight and durability. The medium weight design ensures that it can withstand the demands of multiple seasons.

One of the standout features of this shovel is its disassembled form. When not in use, it can be laid flat in your pack, making transportation a breeze. This allows for streamlined travel, keeping you light and agile.

When time is of the essence, the auto-engaging blade-to-shaft spring pins come into play. They allow for quick and easy assembly, even if you're wearing gloves. This means that you can get to work without any unnecessary delays.
