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 Love the Deuter Guide 34+8L Backpack:

The Deuter Guide 34+8L Backpack is every serious mountain adventurer's dream. This backpack is designed to meet the demands of ski tours, climbs, and mountaineering expeditions. It is lighter than its predecessor, yet still built with durable nylon ripstop material. The V-frame Alpine Back System ensures that the load is evenly distributed to our hips for a comfortable and safe carry. What sets this backpack apart is its close-to-back fit, which provides optimal balance and performance during climbs. Plus, the new J-shaped zipper allows easy access to all our gear.

With a capacity of 38 liters, this backpack is perfect for all-mountain pursuits. Need more space? No problem! The extendable lid provides an additional 8 liters of storage capacity. It also features external attachments for our helmet, ice axe, trekking poles, and skis.

Key Features:

  • Guide-quality mountaineering and climbing backpack - Crafted to meet the highest standards of performance and durability.
  • High denier nylon blends high strength with low weight - The backpack is made of a strong nylon material that keeps the weight down without compromising durability.
  • Lid extends for additional 8 liters of gear capacity - An extendable lid gives us the flexibility to accommodate more gear.
  • Frame and fins can be removed to shed additional weight - For those times when every ounce matters, this backpack allows you to lighten your load by removing the frame and fins.
