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 Like The Barryvox Beacon
We are thrilled with the Barryvox Beacon, a must-have for backcountry skiers and splitboarders who want reliable and intuitive performance. Designed by Mammut, this beacon is tailored to meet our needs and make it easy to navigate through intense terrains.
Featuring a single switch, single button, and separate flagging button, the Barryvox Beacon offers simple and trustworthy handling. We quickly mastered its functions through a few drills, enhancing our efficiency and peace of mind during every adventure.
Equipped with a powerful triple antenna, the Barryvox ensures an impressive 70-meter digital range comparable to top-end beacons in the market. This gives us confidence in our ability to locate buried victims effectively, even in the most challenging situations.
The Barryvox incorporates an intuitive display that shows essential information, including distance, direction, and the number of burial victims. Designed to be easily readable and goggle-friendly, the display enhances our overall awareness and allows for quick decision-making.
In search mode, the Barryvox automatically switches back to send mode if the beacon remains still for four seconds, providing an added layer of safety in case of an accident while searching for a victim. This feature demonstrates Mammut's commitment to maximizing our well-being in the backcountry.
Mammut's dedication to efficiency extends further with the inclusion of alkaline batteries and a convenient carry case. These additions allow for easy access and ensure that the Barryvox Beacon remains securely positioned close to our chest throughout our journeys, ready to assist in any rescue situation.
