Logging your outdoor adventures is worth the effort

When I was an editor at Field & Stream Magazine, I would often travel on assignment to somewhat exotic fishing and hunting destinations. At the end of each day afield or on the water I would retreat to my tent, cabin or wherever else I was lodging and write down copious notes of the day’s activities. From those notes I could later write articles that captured the details of the trip. Furthermore, from time to time I would later read those notes, allowing me the joy of reliving those special experiences. Unfortunately, I didn’t take the same notes for my much more plentiful local outings. Oh, how I wish I did!
