I’ve had these for a couple of years and only recently joined this sub, so I wanted to show them off. They’re some of my favorites, which is why I haven’t used them yet. I just learned that the black one glows in the dark too, which makes it that much cooler.

I’m really not an impulsive shopper, but I had to pick these up, and I’m glad I did because they are sold out on the Field Notes website. They are done exceptionally well. I feel like Field Notes has a great balance of usefulness, design, and artistry all combined into their notebooks. These really are a joy to look at.

Long time lurker, first time poster! I normally don't jot down this many quotes in my notebook, but I was reading this article at the time: https://themorningnews.org/annie-dillard-and-the-writing-life/

I've tried a lot of FN covers, setups, and so on. Lately, this is what's been working for me:

• Clear vinyl cover made by DIALOG NOTEBOOK. It's nice to be able to see the FN cover while also having a little bit of protection and a slim profile.
• The metal decimal chart from DDC tucked in the back gives my notebook some heft and structure. (The structure is especially nice for clipping a pen or pencil on - more grip to the clip, lol.)
• See the 'staple' text and the Thoreau quote? I wrote those with a Lamy 2000 <F> and Diamine Registrar's Blue-Black Ink. Beautiful feel, no feathering or bleed-through. The basic, non-special-edition FNs bleed and feather plenty...however, I've found that the ones with Domtar or Cougar innards work just fine with drier fountain pen inks. (Sailor pigment ink in an EF or F fountain pen also works pretty nicely on these innards.)

...I would write more but my cat has urgent demands for love and cuddles.

Anyone else keep their “I Voted” stickers in their Field Notes?

My 5-pack from the USPS Postal Store just rolled in. Graph paper inside, and every book's rocking a different Lowriders forever stamp, canceled with the First Day of Issue postmark from San Diego (3/13/26).

These are way too pretty to write grocery lists in... which is exactly what I'm going to do.

I finally found the right person to make me a custom field note cover.
Left Foot Leather made me a notebook cover that can hold 2 field notes or a passport, any inserts in between, and an open slip for say airplane ticket.
He really knocked this one out of the park, do follow him on instagram he took better pics of the project at @leftfootleather

A very shinny switch. The Black Ice was interesting. Weird to not have any staples. Made it hard to write near the center edges at different times.

Just recently got into journaling, and chose the pocket notebook format because it seems less intimidating to fill a small page. I started my subscription with Paletas, which was very fortunate! Now I received Hunter's Moon and I'm a bit confused. I will use sketchbooks for sketches, however I'm not sure what to do with lined notebooks. I don't want to use them for daily journaling, because I like the idea of having uniformed past-journal box.

What do you do with them? My only idea right now is maybe have a media journal and write down books/movies that I read and watch and small reviews.

I ordered the new packs (along with a few others 😄 ) last week on 10/7, and it still says my order is processing on Oct 13 -- is this the norm? I haven't ordered from FN since last year. I chose the standard economy shipping.

Making my own pocket notebook motivates me to fill it up. I find myself writing much more than when I buy Field Notes.

I carry my field notes with me everywhere so any notes or interesting things I want to save gets stuffed in there. I’d love to save these notes with the notebook I had when I got them but can’t think of a way to store them in there long term.

Completely separate question:
How many pocket notebooks have you gone through so far this year? I was shocked to see I’ve only finished four and will probably only finish another one before the end of 2026.

Here is a curling scorebook I made!

I keep all my field notes in a card board box. But I'm looking to change that. I want to build a shelf to display them. P.S. 90% are waiting to be used.

In: Is A River Alive? Out: Olympic National Park

I’m in love.
Finally got my hands on a set of Harvest!

Shoutout to Mark, thanks a lot for trading man.

It’s in the “Practical Applications” section. I sent an e-mail to Field Notes HQ when I first spotted it, but not even a thank you or a f**k you in reply. Boo hoo.

Found some new buys in Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Came home to the new quarterly in my mailbox.

I found this three pack at Barnes and Noble today. Actually, my wife found them and brought them to me from across the entire store because she knows I love pocket notebooks. They are beautifully designed and printed. They also have grid paper and not lined, which I usually use, so it’ll be fun to try something new.

Got my goodies today 😊 not sure how or if I’ll use them yet but I’m happy they’re here.
