The Perfect Everyday Carry Journal

[@wisconsinwoodsman1987]

I just started sewing/binding my own “field notes” books. I love the idea of keeping my prayer list in the back and move backwards as new ones come on and older ones roll off. I’m also a leather worker so I definitely need to make a wrap like that. God bless.

[@WontonDisciple]

That's awesome! I hope to dabble in leatherwork at some point. Thanks for commenting!

[@StarClubVintage-j7m]

One of the best parts of these every day carry pocket notebook leather covers is the patina developed over the years of use - so if mine broke I would be incredibly heartbroken! Also, no one ever talks about paper republic; they have such a great company culture and the leather is such great quality - and vegetable tanned. No use of chrome, which is really hard to find in these leather covers! I'm obsessed with my red leather pocket size. I can't wait for the patina. I've been obsessively watching youtube videos about set up and use. Super hyper-fixated on these rn.

[@WontonDisciple]

I'll have to check them out! I'd love to do more stationary focused content in the future. I'm also a big fan of seeing how leather wears over time. One of the big benefits of being a bible lover, too 😎

[@GlynDwr-d4h]

The way you got multiple notebooks in there with the extra elastic band is pretty clever.

[@3n1asl2]

I just got mine today and I am impressed with how sturdy it is! For EDC I am planning on being super basic, but for my upcoming México trip I am sooooo tempted to use inserts!! I can’t wait to make and write memories using this cover. God bless you!

[@WontonDisciple]

It's very fun to play around with different inserts! I hope you're able to find what works for you. I pray your trip goes well. Thank you for your kind comment :D

[@rodrigorojop]

I have this pocket traveler notebook, and NEVER thought about having 2 o 3 notebooks inside. I'm mind blown!

[@profetik777]

I have personal, work, and scratch pad (3 in one). It's awesome.

[@stanislavrico]

But isn’t that the main idea behind the traveler’s notebook concept?

[@rodrigorojop]

@@stanislavrico i didn't know the concept, i'm use it for general notetaking and because of that the product name "Pocket Traveler Notebook" was only a "name" for me, and not a concept hahaha. But now i'm converted.

[@bzylarisa]

It's good to find someone with a similar mind. I love Moleskin Cahier series for many reasons including the ones you mentioned. Field Notes or TN inserts never worked for me. I use this exact cover for some of my Cahiers and I also use JJNUSA leather cover for pocket notebooks (also inexpensive compred to other options) that can hold two (three if you push) Cahiers.

[@grahambumpas3213]

Thanks for making this! This leather cover is exactly what I’m look for it’s super sleek and cheap vs travelers. Preciate man!

[@JosePerez-nz4bl]

The video quality is exceptional. Thanks for the info and the advice.

[@WontonDisciple]

Thank you for your kind words 🙏

[@jkdbuck7670]

Dad's grail diary!

[@BOH1995]

After watching this this morning I placed an order. Looks like a great setup. I’ve got multiple leather covers but this seems too good to pass up.

[@WontonDisciple]

I hope it treats you well! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@catwoods5499]

Great video I'm a huge pocket size fan too. I have a pocket Mr.Darcy from Chic Sparrow as my EDC ❤

[@WontonDisciple]

Thank you! They're definitely so nice and easy to use. I haven't looked back since getting this one!

[@TheONE10X]

I was looking at the Traveler's Company options but your video sold me on this system. I think it will work for my need to have instant access to my notes, but also keep my hands free as much as possible. Thank you!

[@WontonDisciple]

Glad to be of help!

[@k2cjbradio]

Thanks for this video! I ordered the same notebook cover with refills and set it up the same way. Looking forward to using it!

[@WontonDisciple]

I hope it treats you well!

[@chriswriter84]

I just ordered it, I also have a larger size of this notebook and it is exceptional. However, I needed a more pocket-sized format and this is really perfect. I didn't want to give up a certain style without having to break the bank to take a Midori as an example.

[@WontonDisciple]

It's crazy how expensive some of these pocket sized journals are. Still loving this journal every single day.

[@BREAKINGBADYO]

So does this fit a USA Passport well? I got the Travellers Notebook and now I want this to compare, lol.

[@ogotuwaobuto5366]

Thank you for this review. I bought that exact same notebook cover based on your review. I must say that it is a lovely cover and it is great value for money. I really like, so much, I’m considering getting their larger size too.

[@MilkToBread]

I have this size and the A5...the A5 is gorgeous and built well...September leather aka Newestor is a good alternative to traveller's company

[@wherezthebeef]

I have the Traveler's size version, it's so superior to the Traveler's Company brand which is so much more expensive. Agree with every point you made, and having multiple notebooks bound together, compartmentalized for different purposes, is a killer feature. Plus, the longer you use it and.. abuse (!) it, the better it looks..

[@kan-zee]

Well done ...I like your organizational management skillz in your pocket EDC journal. Having a "GET SH!T DONE" list on the back of the book, makes alot more sense than my system...which is in the middle of the book ...it takes a bit of time, to locate it unless I highlight the edges of that section.

[@WontonDisciple]

Thank you! I almost chose to do mine in the middle, too, but I was worried my notes would fill up faster than my to do lists. I needed a way to use up my notebook space as efficiently as possible.

[@ryanbrownx1]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have ordered the same after watching your video. I found out that the company is originally Chinese so worried about their quality. I'm looking forward to mine and using it for many years. 👍🏽

[@WontonDisciple]

It's one of the best leather covers I've had so far! I hope it treats you well

[@scottfwalter]

Any recommendation for additional bands? Most I see are for the travelers notebook sizes. This size is bigger than the traveler's passport size.

[@hoperoesler]

Excellent description and review!

[@WontonDisciple]

Thank you so much :)

[@georgia_adventurer]

Great notebook video

[@WontonDisciple]

Thank you!

[@SigogglinJack]

Hey Randy! Small world!

[@SigogglinJack]

Excellent video. I have the passport from Travelers company. Great size.

[@WontonDisciple]

Thank you much! I actually knew that because I really enjoy your videos!

[@johnnybrathen7584]

What is the dimensions? And where to buy a calendar insert for 2025?😊

[@legacydrum08]

Great video! Would you be interested in reviewing another handcrafted mini leather journal? If so, please reach out; I'll gladly send you one.

[@pyrrej97]

Hello, anyone know where I can find perforated refills similar to what he has here? Dotted/blank/ruled all work!!! Thanks in advance and God bless

[@WontonDisciple]

@@pyrrej97 the Moleskine Volant series may be your best bet if you want every page to be perforated.

[@pyrrej97]

Thanks!!

[@ibzanmoran6106]

What is the real size of that pocket notebook cover?

[@sebastianvarela5658]

Any idea how this would work with fountain pens?

[@WontonDisciple]

Moleskine notebooks are definitely not fit for fountain pens.

[@Eugensson]

Cahier is pronounced kah-YEAH

[@wherezthebeef]

I was wondering about that, tks.

[@Twiceborn_by_grace]

I hate making this reference because it’s not at all Christian, but this reminds me of the journal of Sam and Dean’s dad in Supernatural.

[@WontonDisciple]

I haven't seen Supernatural in ages. That's a throwback

[@Twiceborn_by_grace]

@@WontonDisciple despite it being “non Christian”, it got me through a rough patch in life…at least the first two seasons where it was like watching a short horror movie.

[@mehulmartin2266]

Despite it not being Christian. As Christians I think it’s okay to like/appreciate and even love non Christian works (love not worship or idolize). As long as it doesn’t draw us away from the love of God and the grace of a Christ.

[@bigc8064]

Super natural? I’ll never heard of that show, I’ll be sure to check it out. I love witchy stuff

[@LethalBubbles]

Let no one get between you and God. God is in the highest places and the lowest places. If you saw God in a "nonchristian" thing, that is good! God works through all religioms and belief systems, even witchcraft.

[@Mercutiossword]

Why would a prayer need to be written down? Nevermind..

[@WontonDisciple]

I write down prayer requests, specifically, in order to remember what I need to pray for.

[@wherezthebeef]

No 'need' but for me, the deliberate, mindful act of writing down a prayer... or any Biblical passage.. or quotes from movies, books... makes it more 'real' to me and reenforces its importance.

[@cedarcanoe]

Prayer?! Are you serious?

[@WontonDisciple]

Yup!

[@sirbaguette8378]

I don't see what's so wrong with that and I'm an agnostic atheist. Let mans use the notebook the way he wants :-/

[@wherezthebeef]

Were you triggered? I'll pray for you 😅🙏
