Field Notes Review - Best Everyday Carry Pocket Notebook?

[@ezbooknotes]

Hello, everyone! I hope you enjoyed the mini tour in this video from the city of Chicago. Do you happen to use a small memo book in your everyday essentials? Do you have a brand preference?

[@darthblade2016]

Definitely love using a pocket notebook for EDC, as my memory is terrible. I also recently changed jobs and working in a prison, I cannot have a phone inside the facility, so already having a pocket notebook system in place has helped me greatly to stay organized!! I recently signed up for both the Log & Jotter and Field Notes subscription services and they are both very cool. L&J is $5 a month and you get a new notebook each month, which is very neat. I agree with you on the aesthetics of Field Notes and their wide range of cool designs.

I like Word Notebooks. They're made in Chicago and have fun colors. Same size and similar quality to Field Notes

[@darthblade2016]

@@quartkneek3670 I have seen them before and tried to search for them recently, but the website seems defunct and all their listings on Amazon are showing "unavailable". Have u recently purchased some?

[@garrettgriffin4974]

I bought my first three pack today. Hands down the best pocket notebook I've used yet. I drew in one while watching your video. The paper is smooth and handles gel ink VERY well. No ghosting or bleeding. So, yeah, I'm with you on this one.

My age 71yr old retired now I have used notebook for keeping notes of all the jobs I have done working all around Scotland it has saved me a lot of problems when months afterwards my employer asked me about jobs and when I had a day off this has saved me losing work holidays and expenses I would have lost if didn't write everything down I also like looking back at all the places I have been Alec from Scotland

Thats actually great

A great video. I must admit I prefer the Age Bag series of notebooks, here in the UK, which can be found quite cheaply. Virtually identical in size, and pretty good paper for fountain pens. I'm always carrying some kind of notebook as an inbox.

[@ezbooknotes]

I'll have to check out your notebook of choice! Glad to know there are some good pocket notebooks that can handle fountain pens 😁

[@lurst]

Thanks for the recommendation, I didnt know about Clairefontaine's Age Bag notebooks, wayyy cheaper indeed

[@Flatability]

@@lurst You're welcome!

[@SigogglinJack]

Great video. The editing is spot on. I like the dot grid myself. Works well in both a horizontal or vertical orientation. I usually carry a sort cover pocket Moleskine but am enjoying field Notes as well.

[@ezbooknotes]

Thank you, Jack! I haven't tried a pocket Moleskine yet. I might have to check it out some time 😁

[@captainbilgewater]

Nobody going to mention Moleskine? They are my go-to brand. I don't like the way the Field Notes staples can rust, but solid notebooks otherwise.

[@charlenestrasburg4369]

Can you make a video about what you do with your Field Notes book after you fill it out. Do you go back to your bullet journal and put it in there?

[@diggidan]

Very nice video! The proffesionality of the edit does not correlate to the number of subscribers you have. There should be at least two digits more! Keep it up 💪

[@ezbooknotes]

Totally appreciate your kind words. Thank you very much 😁

Dude G2 FTW!

[@windh666]

Great video, I have a notebook too and it serves me pretty well making my own notebook is so much more budget friendly for me

[@ezbooknotes]

That's awesome! I never thought of making my own notebook. How long have you been doing that?

[@windh666]

@@ezbooknotes I just made the first now, with staples and 3 a4 dot printed papers

[@ezbooknotes]

That's awesome! Sounds relaxing too. I might have to look into that 🤔

[@jooky5]

Check out tru red pocket notebooks. They have durable covers and their pages are perforated

[@ezbooknotes]

Thank you so much! I'll have to go check this out! 😁

What's the bag you use?

[@ezbooknotes]

It's Patagonia. Got it from Dick's sporting goods last yr 😁

[@jonathanmoore3130]

@@ezbooknotes very cool thanks for the info. I've been looking for a bag about that size. Everything seems to be either too big or too small

[@jjayala]

Field book although is made in china are less expensive and in my experience very durable for a cardboard notebook. Repellent to minor spills with a wipeoff. 5 pack for 10 as opposed to 3 for 14

[@Balthazar2242]

There isn't much to review. It's very flat, it has a precise size (which may or may not be preferred by you), it's durable enough, and especially it has a certain style to the presentation which is fun. In terms of materials it's just paper. But it's the presentation that makes it exciting to use. You are invited to date and title it in the front cover, and it makes normal notes feel like you're some kind of explorer.

[@ezbooknotes]

Absolutely. It's what you make of it that makes this ordinary memo book special.

God I don't want to be rude but bro please invest in your looks... watching this video has been a struggle looking at your face. Good content by the way👍
