Hello, Ombatay!

I use my Imago every day, and sometimes have the same problem (when i don't carry too much). But the solution is right there: you can take the bit of strap trailing from the buckle...

I use the FNJ with an A5 notebook I bought in Germany. I took out the Tom Binh rings, and just slip one side of the cover of my notebook into the pocket under the pen holders. It holds tightly, and I...

wow!

Darcy, you gave me my wish (from the 2013 wish list)!

I can't wait!

This is a really old issue--it has been years since this label was last used.

Having said that, it was always a big hit with my French friends and family. I wish it would come back.

1. A Field Journal Notebook with a cache-like slot for an iPad--or even a 11" MacBook Air or similar small computer/tablet
2. A Western Flyer with a split (two-piece) handle and [I]both[I] backpack...

roarmouse:

I think the Absolute Strap is overkill for the Imago on most days, just because it is a little bit heavier than a standard strap. I would only recommend it if you carry something heavy...

Bon voyage!
Just a thought: I often take my Field Notebook as an in-flight gear holder: It will fit a notebook, my ipod, headphones and a paperback, and it fits in one of the end pockets of the...

This is a late entry, but I would love to see an option for the Aeronaut, Tristar, Western flyer to have both backpack straps and[I]a rolling luggage pass-through/back pocket. I use my Aeronaut as a...

This is exactly what I do: I have a small, A5 size ring binder. I just slip one side of the stiff cover under the pen/pencil section. The other cover is loose. This is actually not a problem at all,...

For travel, the Aeronaut, but for everyday (and I do carry it every day!), nothing beats the Imago. It fits all my carry things, and often even a sweater. It swallows a 13" MacBook some days, and...

I think this is a great idea, but I'd like it to be just a little bit larger, so that it would hold an 11" macBook Air. I have a zip-around carrier with a shoulder strap for a three ring notebook...

I do the same: in a neoprene case in the main compartment (unless I also travel with my Imago, in which case it goes in there). I always put it on top for the security check, then often slip it under...

Welcome, Brian!

I can understand the wish for a bag that fits European or Australian carry-on requirements, but just to play devil's advocate (and without any desire whatsoever to challenge my fellow forum members),...

Thanks, everyone!

I was sure I had seen this on the forum, but can't find it.

What sort of a paper punch works for the Field Journal Notebook? What do people recommend?

Thanks!

Curmudgeon:

Everybody has their own sense of aesthetics, so ymmv.
But I wouldn't say that the Aeronaut has a "duffel style" shape. Quite the contrary, when in use it looks like a soft-sided...

Chowbisou:

I bought the Aeronaut before the Tristar came out, and may yet buy a Tristar or Western flyer, but if I could only buy one bag, it would be the Aeronaut.

The reason is simple:...

Tom, I hope you heal quickly.

PS: Didn't know you rowed--so do I, but apparently not as vigorously!

I have carried a similar load in the Aeronaut. You'll have room for a laptop, too.
And when your Aeronaut just slides in to even the smallest overhead compartment while the other passangers are...

If only there were a black/cayenne Ristretto.....

I just took my FJN on a four week trip to Europe. The major modification I made was to (temporarily?) take out the supplied ring binder and replace it with an A5 size notebook I already had. I just...

I just spent a month in Europe with the FJN, and found some surprising uses for it. I loved it!

it is good for a lot of things, but I found that I also used it as a kind of small carry bag.

You...

some great ideas already.
here is my wish list:

An A5 field journal insert. (please, pretty please?)

A black/cayenne Ristretto (normal 13" size).

A new combination field journal...

Dear Tom, Darcy and the whole Tom Binh crew:

i just got back from a long field trip to find my holiday gift waiting. Thank you!
I needed a pouch that size, and am flattered to now be a official...
