  • Field Notes are great little notebooks. They come in lined or graph paper options and are very light and easy to throw in a purse or backpack. I like to also have a small notebook on me when I travel and these fit the bill without taking up much space. Most of their options are in neutral colors but I love their new super colorful national parks series.

  • Long time a user of Field Notes pocket notebooks and they continue to be my favorite. I carry one in my pocket most days and mostly buy the dot graph style sheet. Love that they are Made in USA.

  • Field Notes have been joining me for over ten years of journeys and experiences. I've had dozens of these journals and love all the unique editions they've created through the years. Field Notes cofounder Aaron Draplin is a great designer and fun personality, so it feels good to support him through these. Aside from being a nice compact writing surface, they all have a 5 inch measuring stick and fun "practical applications" on the back cover, which are always worth a read. They're not super durable, but they're also only 48 pages. If they're wearing down too fast, maybe you're not writing enough?

  • Adorable notebooks that fit nicely and comfortably in your pocket or bag. I've used these for work and for travel and found they are best for travel because the amount of pages is not super generous. I like the personality of the notebooks with their colorways, different location covers, and that they are available in multi-packs. It's a fun gift or to use for a short period of time.
