Abigail ScottBy Abigail Scott
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 Big Agnes Prospector 50L Backpack

Big Agnes has impressed us with their entry into the backpack market, and what stands out about the Prospector 50L Backpack is its lightweight design and commitment to the environment. This pack is designed to be light and comfortable, ensuring a balanced load regardless of the weight. The Open Range Hip Belt, situated behind the Load Wrangler back panel, efficiently transfers the weight to the lumbar. Additionally, the cut-to-fit hip belt snugly fits the body to eliminate gaps. Improved compression system pulls weight inward and upward for secure and positive load transfer.
