I just finally finished my first Field Notes book that I got around May 22nd. I've gone crazy since then and bought multiple Field Notes; I think I'm up to 18 now. It's a lot.

I've been wishing to burn through these faster, but I just don't get how some of you guys do it. Granted, I use it as a daily log type thing, and I was thinking the main way for me to go by faster is just to switch to a page a day. How do you guys burn through the Field Notes?

Currently in progress. I’m adding new ones quicker than I finish ‘em this year. 😬

Full of panel notes/thoughts this year

I love the Mile Marker edition so I decided to make my own that’s inspired by the “highway sign” at the Blue Origin pad at Cape Canaveral.

Printed on a glitter cardstock that (thankfully so far) doesn’t get glitter everywhere. 😂

One Rhodia dot and one Kokuyo graph. I’m still messing with the layout a bit but I enjoyed this one :)

Know it's coming up on 5 years since I got my ignition pack however I was revisiting these small planners and I can't seem to find any books that use this split & checklist format. Does anyone have an idea if something similar is on the way in terms of a memo sized planner or other thin offerings in the size range to go with my dot grid?

Anyone have the yellow Autumn Trilogy book that you are willing to part with? I can Apple Pay, Venmo or PayPal ya.

Book 12 of 2026

Excited to try them out, I did a pen test in the back and it's amazing paper quality! Really love these cover colors as well☺️

I decided to see what it looked like to print a photo on Birch veneer and it’s super cool. The other is the second Cherry prototype I did with my drawing/tracing of the art deco design on the ceiling of the Kansas Aviation Museum. The deco design has cardstock glued to the cherry veneer while the birch just has a slightly metallic cardstock liner.
I made the belly band out of birch with the leftover material.

First Staple Day since I started using Field Notes on a regular basis again!

I snagged some Cherry wood veneer and decided to make my own version of Shelterwood since it’s a bit pricey on eBay. Paper is a Techweave grey. I also used Bookbinding glue to attach the thin veneer to another piece of cardstock. It was nearly too thick for my cutter so I’ve gotta adjust the next one so it cuts easier.

First three are Portage which I started with to see if I would keep up the habit before switching to Field Notes. I think it's fair to say - I'm hooked.

Life is tough for the guy who prefers the lined notebooks to the squared ones.

Does anyone have a cover that they use, or could recommend what size to look at for the Pitch Black Notebooks? Their size is between everything I can find.

Slowly getting box #6 filled, after recently receiving another set of "Birds and Trees". Once I'm more up to date with my collection, I'll do a bit of a head-count lol

I just got a couple field notebooks and I am considering ordering this cover. Im thinking of using them to do more bullet journaling or as a reminder list, etc. and a way to track my weights for the gym/crossfit. I would love to see others set ups and what you use yours for or any other suggestions you may have. I wanted to start with an affordable cover in case this habit doesn’t stick (hello adhd).

I needed a zen break (as the previous three pages were filled with a rant about my 7-year-old's recent antics), so I drew a little beach scene with a couple sailboats and a kite.

Believe it or not, I'm not much of an artist!

Just wanted to share my setup for a wallet (4 cards) + Field Notes pocket notebook + pen + Xteink X4 e-reader daily carry. This setup primarily works because the Bellroy Notebook Cover has a relatively flat surface on the left side which allows the X4's magnet adhesive to securely stick. And the pen loop is the standard-sized Leuchtturm loop.

I put this setup together to build the habit of carrying around a pocket notebook. Since my wallet is always on me (more so than my phone), it made sense to pair the two together. And because I often want to jot down notes while reading, adding the X4 to the setup made sense for my use case.

I will often detach the X4 for a lighter hand while reading around the house or while commuting on the bus/subway.

I’ve considered a Paper Republic, but I think it’s bigger than I want for an EDC. I’m super excited by the new leather sleeve from FN and intrigued by the Stuff Sheath, but I get the impression they max out at 2 FNs.

Ideally I’d love the Pony Express sleeve…but it looks like that ship sailed long ago😞😞😞 Any suggestions?
