Time and time again I find myself turning not only to my field journals, but also to those that I inherited from others.

They are valuable part of my outdoor life and I feel that everyone should keep one.
Whether you’re a seasoned hunter, a passionate forager, or an aspiring outdoor enthusiast, here’s why keeping a field journal should be an essential part of your wilderness journey.
