My answer would have to be my Bibe. Not only is it full of great stories/parrables, it also gives me great wisdom. No matter how I feel I can open it's pages and inside I'll find the answers I need. It feeds me Spiritually and keep my imagination alive with it's words!!

[@mreinstein48]

Beautiful antic pages:!! Love them!

[@luisbperez368]

I just discovered your content channel, and I have to say that I fell in love with it. As a 62 years old youngster, I am learning to write again; I am beginning this new chapter in my life (I retired from the U.S. Marshals Service in December 2017). I decided to start writing. As a user of computerized word processors, my writing, well, 😂 if you call it writing, even if I cannot understand what I wrote, is going back to elementary writing basics. I just bought a vintage book of Shadows journal, one for me and another for my wife (we have been married for 42 years). Both journals should be here next Tuesday. I cannot wait to write with my collection of fountain pens. Anyway, I know I am going to spend time watching your videos. Thanks, best regards, and be safe. 🙏

[@zanili]

The calligraphy is so beautiful but honestly the most impressive part to me is that you can write in such a perfectly straight line. On such a trip I would bring a hand sewing project along.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Haha thank you! And that is a very productive project to bring!

[@Rowan.Evander]

I was immediately thinking "notebook, I'd bring a notebook!"---until you mentioned that was also obvious, which of course.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Those are some beautiful-sounding instruments! We have several instruments so far 🎶

[@AlexDiaz2030]

Since this is a galleon trip, or a throwback to an earlier era, I would take a medieval navigation kit (map, astrological chart, nautical chart, telescope, compass). I would make sure not to know the ship's route ahead of time. During the voyage, I would trace the route using medieval navigation tactics and after the trip compare with the actual route taken by the captain using today's radars and satellites.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

I'll have you join as my co-captain!

[@oh.journals]

what a beautiful journal spread

[@FernandoCastellanoArdiles]

A very sharp knife. It would be really handy.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

It would indeed!

[@tokkikayedesigns]

What a lovely journal!! And I like your new name and philosophy about making changes and mistakes. It's good to recognize that change is the only constant! I laughed when you said aside from a notebook. If it's time appropriate... HM... A laundry press. I'm sure I can find some way to rig up material to collect dew and rain water, then squeeze it out. Also, wet clothes are very bad for the health so I can dry them quickly. I thought about bringing oranges or lemons too. Chop them up and dry them to preserve for the journey. I also thought about an astrolabe.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

You'd be everybody's favorite person with that laundry press!

[@rooster4669]

I bought that same journal. Omg it’s nice. I use it for writing down my bushcraft/survival skill notes

[@caffeinatedxoctopus]

I jussstttt got this journal in the mail and it's soooo lovely, even my husband was like "thats an epic journal" 😂 I was looking all over for reviews for it and im soooo glad you made this video, your calligraphy is stunning on the page 😍 and also I love the name change!

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Right?! I couldn't believe how fantastic it is when I saw it in person. Thank you!

[@itschrissspy]

i can almost smell the leather from this end 😩 GOD i would love to draw on that to make it like the journal from How To Train Your Dragon or Gravity Falls

[@SolisScriptorivm]

I haven't seen How To Train Your Dragon in so long! Thank you for reminding me of it.

[@bluesky5542]

Very nice job. I am interested in your writing where can I learn this. Awesome video I love it. Thank you.

[@journalbynaomi]

What a gorgeous journal and spread. Love it 🥰

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Thank you!

[@orlaogradydesignstudio226]

I would bring some seed and planting materials, would be like a little experiment to see how things grow in space, but would also remind me of earth.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

I love this!

[@maydivazquez7189]

Beautiful. I would take binoculars to gaze at the stars and the amazing oceanscapes.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

That is a wonderful idea!

[@EvangelineAU]

Oh gosh, yes, the notebook is a must, and with that notebook is something to write with. My weapon of choice would be one of my fountain pens, maybe a Lamy because they write well (and I would definitely also need to sneak a bottle of ink into my bag).

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Let's just count the pen and ink bottle as one!

[@maudmezier285]

This notebook is gorgeous. I’ve been following the channel since you were the pocket traveler. As for something I would bring for such a long trip is socks. Lots and lots of socks because if your feet are wet, you can get sick very easily. So if I really want to enjoy it, nice dry socks it would be for me.

[@maudmezier285]

Oops I forgot my IG, it’s YellowKrie2601 (I think 🤔)

[@SolisScriptorivm]

I love this answer!

[@maudmezier285]

@@SolisScriptorivm well it’s true don’t you think? 😊

[@SolisScriptorivm]

@@maudmezier285 Absolutely!

[@redbatgrrl]

I've been watching since you were pocket traveller; I have the same pocket tn (and I still love it!) I'd definitely bring a Kindle for allll the books. And maybe some dramamine in case I get seasick. 😅 Your journal spreads are always 😍🤩 Have a great day! ✌🏼

[@SolisScriptorivm]

I definitely still use my pocket size TN all the time as well! Thank you so much :)

[@maleahlock]

On a long sea journey I would bring a 9th century style cloak with gored and slashed sleeves and a ridiculously massive hood so I could be warm and dry and use the cloak as a shield to scribble and look mysterious as I read spooky stories to the ship rats. It would most definitely be green outside with a burnt cream colour inside. I must away now. whitchthings

[@SolisScriptorivm]

"as I read spooky stories to the ship rats" !! This is the best thing I've read recently! Although I will likely make sure we have several cats to control the rodent situation. Plus I don't think I can go anywhere without cats... Love your cloak idea!

[@Janiret69]

I like your new name! Love the journal!

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Thank you so much!

[@KattiaV]

I would bring all the memories of people I love... as the song goes, "Es ligero equipaje, Para un tan largo viaje, Las penas pesan en el corazón"

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Esa no la he escuchado, pero para allá voy!

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Aaaaaah ya sé cuál es! Tan pronto la puse la reconocí. Hace muchísimo tiempo que no la escuchaba!

[@skieswatcher9321]

I'd surely bring with me some music instrument, to go with the mood I'd say a lute. ☺️ (That paper is wonderful!)

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Yes! We have a great band going on!

[@karaleightwo]

Nice!

[@helluvascientist]

Loved hearing the story of how your channel has changed names. You have such a wonderfully healthy and refreshing attitude towards the change and growth of your channel! Hmmm I think for this voyage I would have to bring my Tolkien book set, I could read Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit over and over again!!! Just sitting and reading while listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the boat rise and fall sounds so wonderfully relaxing. (this is @doinmydrills btw :D)

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Thank you so much

[@drpepandpepper]

I'd bring a spyglass to navigate and observe sea life!

[@SolisScriptorivm]

I would definitely want to borrow it sometimes!

[@RavensAndRain]

A surviving kit for any era if not then enough journals to write my experiences

[@SolisScriptorivm]

This is a very smart idea!

[@veronikaslavikova7169]

This is an obvious object but I can´t imagine anything else. I would definitely bring a journal to spend long days with creating a story. And by the end of the journey I would have written a novel. Because even in the loneliest moments, imagining stories gives me warmth. Plus I would have enough pencils to last through illustrating the story as well. Ohh, just thinking about it makes me fell fulfilled.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Love it! I know, it's so satisfying to fantasize about sailing, away from the usual stress of life.

[@bujodogabs]

I can totally understand the channel name thing, sometimes changes are needed to fit diferent moments =) For the ocean travelling item... hmmm a compass would be a good and usefull item, but i would love to take my Kindle as its battery last for a long time so i would be able to read a lot more books than just carrying one XD

[@SolisScriptorivm]

That is a fantastic idea!

[@bethv3411]

I love your work. I taught world history for many years and students often had to create paper such as what is in the journal. If it is assumed that I would already have a journal and writing instrument then I would bring a book. Something that I wouldn't mind reading a few times such as one of Follett's books on the Middle Ages. I don't have an instagram account. Thanks for sharing.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

The Pillars of the Earth has been on my TBR for the longest time! This would be a great opportunity.

[@paleogeology9554]

As a field geologist I use one just like this, they are tougher then regular paper by far.

[@basasanjana8900]

What're the measurements (inches) of the book Ure using?

[@itschrissspy]

i totally feel you with the name changing on accounts. back when i was active on Instagram, i change my name a lot. and i would always feel anxious on what will the people who followed me will think (as if they would care i only have a few pfft-). but then again, we are human. just like you said. sometimes i get hooked on a particular aesthetic and it will affect my name too, because i really like that aesthetic. sometimes it's good to change some things a bit

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Agreed! I do sometimes worry about what others will think. I then have to remember that I'm doing this because it makes me happy, and that's the most important part.

[@itschrissspy]

@@SolisScriptorivm exactly!! ❤️

[@xxnekoxx606]

So we can use a leather journal as a sketchbook?

[@classicalodyssey]

My answer to the question might be quite boring, but I will never leave without my dip pen and ink bottle (mostly for drawing hehe) :)

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Not boring at all! That would likely be a necessity for me as well.

[@green_eyed_shenanigans5801]

If traveling by sea I would have to bring my Dramamine. I get terribly seasick :(

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Definitely the most practical answer so far!

[@coralmarco2663]

Ooohhhh me encanta el cuaderno, de dónde es?

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Es de Nomad Crafts Co.!

[@volcanowb]

What does it smell like? 😋😃😂 I too have fun changing mine!

[@SolisScriptorivm]

It smells like fresh leathery goodness!

[@volcanowb]

@@SolisScriptorivm Really? Mmm- I can almost smell its aroma! Thank you!

[@teronglasgow7014]

What the book size

[@tikviraltok4395]

Love it I wish I win ❤️@feelingsin_words

[@kaarinponsford1136]

If I had a notebook and pen already I would bring my kindle loaded with books. Not original, but I never go anywhere without a book and have done so since I was a child. @ Kaarin Kriya Ponsford.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Perfect!

[@curiouslizard]

Started subscription while you were the pocket traveler. I’m also a bit of a medievalist and traveler, love your channel. Besides my journal and pen I’d take a good hat, in my travels I’ve found a good hat to be a most useful item! @curious.lizard

[@SolisScriptorivm]

This is waaay more practical than my accordion idea 😂

[@sotirisdandanas5337]

I would bring my 1650 Tarot de Marseille deck because it is handy, small, durable, inspirational, and adds a spark of magic to everything. It is a book of life in the form of a game: you can shuffle and find all possible paths, taken or not taken. Divine the adventure and meaning of life while it is a great conversation starter! Art and communication and magic... all in one, what would I couldn't possibly ask for more. @ink.and.word.sd

[@SolisScriptorivm]

I absolutely love this!

[@h4r4s4r4]

Hi Maydi, my IG handle is h4r4s4r4, and I would bring a ukulele with the intetion of finally learn how to play on it! Sending lots of love, Sára

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Yes! I would bring my accordion and someone else mentioned a piano, so we have a band going!

[@luckystarpiano]

Gahhh love this journaling spread - already subbed and my handle on Ig is @kpnypianist 🎹 I would figure out a way to bring some sort of keyboard - gotta do some practicing 🎶🎶🎶 ( maybe play some lovely Debussy on board haha) Keep doing lovely work❤️

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Oooh I would love to be on board with you, that sounds great! I would bring my accordion, so we can get the party going.

[@luckystarpiano]

@@SolisScriptorivm yayyy music nerds unite 🎶🎶🎶🥰🥰🥰

[@FrostKitty]

I am a control freak, I never travel without a “Go Bag” that has EVERYTHING I imagine I’ll need... for a sailing trip on a Galleon - Astrolabe, Rapier, Main Gauche, Spyglass, Culpepper’s Herbal a Planisphere, flint and steel, lemons and rum. IG: Alchemycraftworks

[@ajca3161]

If I were to go on a Galleon sea journey I would bring a huge blanket. I know it will give me comfort while I travel. My Ig is juliana.and.art. Thanks for the giveaway 😊🤞

[@LisaJedi]

Absolutely gorgeous journaling! And very inspiring!! I would bring a sewing kit and some fabric, or my spindle and some fibre to spin on a long sea journey. I expect i would be able to find more crafting materials along the way... lisagwinner on Instagram :)

[@justimaginejournals-yvonne7760]

Amazing.journal... like a trip back in time. I would bring our family history book with family photos and history. I'm a subbie. My instagram is @justimaginejournals - Thanks so much.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

I love the variety of items so far! Thank you ❤️

[@rebecasanmartin-feeney4956]

Love your work! This journal is gorgeous. I would bring in that most fun trip a camera! 📷 Instagram: @rebeksmf

[@nilsam4653]

Hola Maydi!! I would definitely bring a world map or globe with us. I think it would be very useful! @nilsa.14 (instagram)

[@SolisScriptorivm]

It definitely would! Especially as soon as our phones lose signal 😂

[@juststeen8112]

I would bring my viola because I think a musical instrument would bring great joy to myself and others on a long journey. (emperorofatlantis on Instagram)

[@SolisScriptorivm]

That's perfect! We have a great band going on so far.
