Not really what I carry everyday, however, this lot is always in my backpack when I go hiking or camping.
3 year-old Luke came over and picked up my Field Notes, flipped through the pages a bit, then said: "Miss Luz, your notebook is all...note-y."
With mini stick on ToDo pads, and a mini pad from Dutch retail chain "HEMA". The mini fountain pen is from Campo Marzo.
I failed to find either a "real" shop that sold Midori Travel Notebooks, or an online one with a brown one in stock. Nada. I found this Labrador travel wallet ( www.labradorfactory.net/ also from Thailand!), that's made for folded A4 papers, and perfectly fits the Travel Notebook version of Chronodex. So I modded it, or Midori'd it, if you like. Still have to find the right size elastic, but a bit of string is doing the job of holding Chronodex in its place just fine! And look at those gorgious pouches!

Field Notes Dream Journal with Leather Vest
My pile of Field Notes laid dormant for a while because they tend to bleed with my fountain pen or roller balls. On a surprising turn of events (meeting Tsuchihashi san and his idea note), I realized I hadn't been jotting down my dreams for a long while and started to look for a handy reliable notebook to do so all over again.
The trigger was a week ago when my Dad passed away. I was expecting to see him at least in my dreams on the 7th day of his passing, realizing that I had to write down every single word I would hear from him, I frantically picked up Field Notes and pondering how I would attach a pen onto it for quick access.
There it was, a few hours of measuring and hammering, I made a leather vest from ~1mm thin leather (Australian Gold) attaching to Field Notes' cover and holds a wooden ball pen from Japan I love.
So by the 7th night of his passing, I had this fully equipped, following me all the time. Did he came into my dreams? No. But he did tell a love story I will never forget from his small moves.
I guess the insight was "life is what happens when you are busying making other plans". No regret trying.
You can plan so much and things are not happening the way you expected, but the cool thing to realize is that, things would always turn out to be more beautiful, that is, only had you acted.
The leather vest I made was just the right size to allow me rolling the Field Notes in half for compact storage in jackets. The proportion even allows me to use it on a typical thicker (and dull) Moleskine in pocket size.
I encourage you to make one yourself, you should be proud of what you can do and carry inspirations (idea notes) and dreams in your pocket. Fear not losing the notes coz that's only the physical record of what you've already gotten.
Today, I brought my kid out to Cheung Chau island for a leisure cycling, feeling contented my vest and FN, along side with my inspirations and dreams were with me.

These are the items I carry with me everyday (EDC), when I have my pants on (WIHMPO).
1. Wallet - The only cash I carry in my wallet is a $20 bill, which is there for emergencies. All other cash goes in my right-front pocket.
2. Field Notes Memo Book - I only recently discovered Field Notes. Before that I carried a Moleskin, but this works better. The paper is plastic and is waterproof. Stays in my left back pocket.
3. Space Pen Bullet - Only 3.75" long. Resides in my left front pocket along with my iPhone. Writes on anything. Hardly even know it's there.
4. iPhone - Originally purchased for the geocaching app, I now use it for a phone, too!
5. Ozark Trail pocket knife - Cost $1 at Walmart. I have many other knives, but these are cheap and light. I don't have to worry about losing or destroying it. For a buck, I can get another! Clipped inside my right front pocket.
6. Casio watch - Solar powered and atomically set. Not technically an EDC item, since I don't wear it all the time.
7. Sunglasses - Peppers brand bought at REI. When I'm outside, I have on sunglasses.
8. Reading glasses - Off the shelf. 1.5 strength. Currently kept on a neck lanyard.
9. Keys - I actually have two rings of keys. These are personal, the other is ministry and is kept on a red mini-carabiner (a real one, not a fake key clip). Not shown.
10. Kershaw carabiner knife - Razor sharp, non-load bearing.

Penshaw Hill seems to be one of those fantastic hill forts completely missed by historians because of a later addition - A mock greek temple. Penshaw appears to be one of the few classic triple rampart Iron Age hill forts known to exist in the north. In terms of magic, it has a similar feel to Almondbury, with dates from the Bronze Age to the mid Iron Age. To add to its mystique, an apparent saucer barrow sits unnoticed at the foot of the hill, within the outer enclosure.
In 1844, before most antiquaries were interested in local pre-history worm hill, the regions greatest hill fort was 'converted' into a folly in the form of a Greek temple, to John George Lambton, first Earl of Durham (1792 - 1840). Governor - General of Canada, Grand Master of the Order of Freemasons, Member of Parliament, one time Lord Privy Seal, landowner and coal owner. Erected in 1844 by private subscription, its design by the Greens of Newcastle was executed by Thomas Pratt of Sunderland. The monument comprises Greek Doric columns (4 by 7) with entabulatures and end pediments but no roof. The columns stand upon a solid stone platform.
As a consequence, all the earthworks associated with the hill were assumed to be related to the monument and little attention was paid to the significance of this ancient site. Even the OS map of 1864, published twenty years after the erection of the monument, notes the earthworks simply as 'old quaries'
The area marked as Painshaw Hill Quarry has indeed been fully quarried out, however a crop mark to the West may still elude to the orginal outer bank of this enormous hill fort - one of the largest hill fort in the north yet totally unrecorded.
The photo's show the earthworks and an additional feature - a possible Barrow.

A 35-year-old male California condor that has served a pivotal role in returning condors to the skies above California for the past 30 years was returned to the wild on December 29, 2015 by biologists at Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge in Kern County, California.
The condor, known as AC-4, was captured on August 7, 1985, by a team of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) biologists at Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge as part of an effort to prevent extinction of the species. He was one of 22 California condors - the last remaining on Earth - captured between 1983 and 1987 to breed in captivity as part of the Service-led California Condor Recovery Program.
On December 29, re-branded as California condor number 20, he was released in the same area where he was captured.
“Watching this California condor, who has been so instrumental to recovery of his species, rejoin the wild flock, is an emotional and historic moment,” said Joseph Brandt, lead condor biologist with Service. “It’s like seeing him come full circle.”
Jesse Grantham, former California Condor Recovery Coordinator, was part of the team to capture AC-4 in 1985, and had monitored the bird extensively. “Many people have poured their heart and soul into the recovery of these remarkable birds, and it is an amazing feeling to be here with many of those individuals who have dedicated their lives to condor recovery. The bird can now live out the remainder of its life back in the wild, while his legacy and contributions to condor recovery live on in future generations.”
Children and young adults from the Pasadena Young Birders Club joined Brandt, Grantham and many others who have worked on condor conservation for decades, to be a part of the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Fifteen-year-old birder Diego Blanco and his family watched in awe as the condor took flight. "[He] soared to our left, away from the pen and over the canyon. He crossed a ravine, passed over several ridges, and continued his leftward flight, following the canyon as he went."
Reflecting on his experience, Diego continued, "AC-4 represents a thin, but unbroken link to the 10,000 years of condors in North America, and witnessing his release was a truly inspirational moment..." [Read Diego's full account of his experience here: www.fws.gov/FieldNotes/regmap.cfm?arskey=36843].
AC-4 has been integral to the recovery of the California condor population. He has successfully sired 30 chicks that have been released into the wild population -- the third most productive sire in the program. Along with female mate UN-1 (California condor number 13), the pair produced the first egg and first chick from wild birds in captivity in 1988.
Recent genetic work indicates his parents were original genetic founders of the captive population, and those genes are now well represented across the captive population.
AC-4 remained part of the captive breeding program at San Diego Zoo from 1985 to 2014, when he was transferred to Pinnacles National Park to mentor juvenile California condors who were preparing to be released into the wild. He was transferred to a flight pen at Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge in September to prepare for his release into the wild.
AC-4 is one of four remaining condors of the original 22 birds brought into captivity in the 1980s.
With a wingspan of 9.5 feet and weighing up to 25 pounds, the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) is the largest land bird in North America. These majestic creatures historically ranged from California to Florida and Western Canada to Northern Mexico. By the mid-20th century, condor populations had dropped dramatically, and by 1967 the California condor was listed as "endangered" by the federal government. In 1982, only 23 condors existed world-wide. By 1987, all remaining wild condors were placed into a captive breeding program. Thus began an intensive recovery program to save the California condor from extinction.
Since 1992, when the Service began reintroducing captive-bred condors to the wild, the population has grown to about 420 birds.
In 2008, the Recovery Program reached an important milestone, with more California condors flying free in the wild than in captivity for the first time since the program began.
