By 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.

Why We Love the Gregory Zulu 65L Backpack
Whether we are embarking on a thru-hike or exploring our favorite state park, the Gregory Zulu 65L Backpack is our go-to gear carrier. Its innovative FreeFloat ventilated suspension system adapts to our body movements, providing a snug fit that maximizes comfort when carrying a week's worth of equipment. With an adjustable torso length, we can customize the fit to perfection. Plus, the open-air ventilated back panel and moisture-wicking mesh keep our back dry even during intense adventures.
One of our favorite features is the U-zip front panel, which allows for easy access to all our gear, including items at the bottom of the pack. Additionally, this backpack offers a plethora of external pockets, from the zippered compartments on the top lid to the dedicated sleeping bag compartment at the bottom. With its generous 65-liter capacity and convenient storage solutions, the Gregory Zulu 65L keeps us comfortable and organized during week-long backpacking trips and section hikes on our thru-hike.
