![]() ![]() I’ve written parts of magazine stories and entire blogs on my phone while lying on my back in my sleeping bag, and typed countless half-hatched and fully-hatched ideas in the Notes app. On longer trips, or when something strikes me, I rely heavily on the Notes app in my iPhone.

What's even better? It's female-founded and female-created, so the tastefulness is undoubtedly there.Every once in a while at a book signing or during an interview, someone asks me: What’s your favorite piece of outdoor gear? I try for a few seconds to stall and think of something original and interesting, and then I give up and say, You know what, I think the smartphone is probably one of the best pieces of adventure gear we have now. ![]() Particularly popular for content creators and influencers needing something trendy (yet simultaneously timeless), every feature is hand-crafted with you in mind to help you achieve the aesthetic of your dreams.
