I added my last few filled Field Notes notebooks for 2025. I already have 5 to add for 2026 but will probably wait until my website redesign to add that page.
Wow, this whole list was so cool to scroll through. I had no idea Field Notes had so many different designs, and it was interesting to see how you used them all too
@ratlands Thanks so much! Field Notes has their standard brown kraft paper books, but they come out with 4 quarterly designs every year, plus a half dozen or so collaborations with other orgs and artists. The variety in the covers is one of the things that motivates me to keep writing!
@hastiesthandiwork I am not kidding or exaggerating when I say that Field Notes enthusiasts call "beating a notebook to shit" a "patina." In fact, "nice patina" is a frequent compliment. So let 'er rip, I guess.
not quite a fieldnoteshead myself (least for now), but i have this cheap generic pocketsize (top)spiralbound notebook - something very nice about carrying somethin like that in yer pocket, and have had one fav music artist sign in it hehe
(keeping my work schedule in my lil pocketbook, and letting it whisk up some of my Stray Thoughts, instead of letting my phone do both of those - feels good)
@sneekrealm Using my phone less was definitely one of my motivations for starting a pocket notebook habit. Once I unlock the phone all bets are off as to whether I'll actually remember why I opened it or just get sucked into whatever's on the screen. Notebooks can't do that.

@hastiesthandiwork Letters are not for guilt, they are for fun!
@maxcrunch The stars do align that way sometimes.
