Innovation and adventure are at the heart of everything we do. Today, we're thrilled to share an exciting milestone with our community – the arrival of our first prototype for the patent-pending Fold-Out All Access Backpack!



The Journey to Innovation

Our journey began with a simple yet ambitious goal: to revolutionize the way outdoor enthusiasts organize and carry their gear. Founders Kevin Burnett and Wesley Casselman, both Eagle Scouts and avid hikers, experienced firsthand the challenges of traditional backpacks. They envisioned a solution that would offer unparalleled organization, comfort, and accessibility.


The Prototype Unveiling

After months of research, design, and collaboration, we finally received the first prototype of our innovative backpack. The excitement in our workshop was palpable as our team gathered around to unbox and examine the first model of the Fold-Out All Access Backpack. This prototype represents countless hours of hard work, creativity, and dedication.



Key Features of the Fold-Out All Access Backpack

Our backpack is designed to address the common pain points faced by hikers and outdoor enthusiasts:


  • Fold-Out Design: The unique Fold-Out design offers three distinct layers, allowing strategic packing and easy access to all your gear.

  • Layer A: Positioned closest to your back, this layer holds the heaviest gear, optimizing weight distribution for maximum comfort.

  • Layer B: Designed for medium and small-sized gear, keeping essential items organized and accessible.

  • Layer C: The top layer folds over Layer B, securing items needed for immediate access without disturbing the rest of the pack.


  • High-Quality Materials: Constructed using weather-resistant materials, our backpack is built to withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures.

  • Enhanced Comfort: Ergonomically designed to reduce physical strain and fatigue, ensuring a comfortable hiking experience.


Testing and Refinement

Receiving the first prototype is just the beginning. Our team is now rigorously testing the backpack to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and functionality. We're evaluating every aspect, from the durability of materials to the ease of access provided by the fold-out design. This thorough testing phase is crucial to making any necessary adjustments and improvements before the final product launch.


What's Next?

We are incredibly excited about the progress we've made and can't wait to share more updates with you. As we continue to refine and perfect the Fold-Out All Access Backpack, we are also exploring additional features such as integrating smart technologies like GPS tracking and solar charging panels. Our goal is to create a backpack that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of outdoor enthusiasts.
