    Lovely compact kit

    Fun to be able to pack all that I need for a watercolor adventure and more. Using a 3 ring pocket for paper.

    Very special and specific.

    I am still getting used to using this more aggressive organization. After looking for that certain pen and pencil. Followed by the search for their friends, erasure and notebook. They are now kept in a safe house made of zippers and handles and camo colored walls. Their days of independent exploration are now over. Traveling in a organized tour at all times Hopefully this will keep the wheels on the bus.

    Fields of Functionality with the FJN

    So glad Tom Bihn brought this back, I have found that it works for more than just journaling. I use one to wrangle my knitting supplies and another for recipes. I use another one for drawing and adult coloring, a soothing pastime that I can now take anywhere in my handy FJN!

    Love my Tom Bihn Field Journal Notebook

    I am so happy that the field journal notebook was put back into action at Tom Bihn! All of the features are perfect and I am currently using my journal to take with me everywhere - because I am learning how to draw/sketch. There is a perfect slide pouch for my Beam Paints- it’s all so much fun to take with me wherever I go! Thank you so much - you’ve made this journey of mine ever better!
