This micro episode of She Explorers is brought to you by Peak Design.

They design gear that lets creative, adventurous people follow their passions,

and they bring all of their products to life through crowdfunding.

For me, a really important part of spending time outside is taking photographs.

It's meditative and it makes me happy.

Peak design makes it easier to bring your camera gear with you to capture the wild places you love.

They just launched four beautiful new bags on kick-starter last week, raising over $1 million in 24 hours.
