Ha! Great video. Yeah. I tried the field notes. Nope! Yet another thing in my pocket. Pass! Taking quick notes on my phone is just fine. But there you go. I don't like carrying things in my pockets of I can avoid it. Now that I have to carry reading glasses, I tuck a Parker Jotter ballpoint in there as well. Rings. I have a William Hannah fancy ring notebook and I kinda love it. But, I most often pull a page or two out. Write. Then put them back. That's the joy of the rings. And I only keep X number of pages in there at a time. But yeah, I hate spiral-bound notebooks for the reason you specified. :) It things i don't like? Complexity. No washi tape and elaborate "spreads" for me. I'm not a scrapbooker. Heh.
Stormin Norman, come for the reviews, stay for the rambling, and tomfoolery! lol I carry a field notes style notebook (log&jotter), but it's definitely not for inspiration, it's more of a don't forget book. The stationary thing I don't like anymore is Fisher space pens. I modified a zebra f-701, all metal body to use a Fisher insert. I used it for 2 years, but got tired of the hard starting, and inconsistent ink flow. Happy New Year
I think the name of the ring binder you were talking about is the MeePlus. I haven't tried a ring binder yet, but the MeePlus comes in a lot less expensive than the Plotter. I never really liked my hand hitting the rings when I used ring binders in the past, but maybe the smaller 11mm or 16mm rings might make a difference. I like the concept of the ring binder because you can add pages if you need more space, but I still haven't pulled the trigger on one. Thanks for the information. You always give a lot to think about that hadn't occurred to me.
Since TN notebooks are basically the same thing as Field Notes (cardboard cover & folded paper) do you think it's more about the size that turns you off?
Possibly. It may also have something to do with the TN notebooks being inside a leather cover. When I get the Lochby and I put the Feild Notes in it I might feel differently.
What's wrong with things that don't move? What I can't stand is anyone who doesn’t know the difference between standing still and pens & paper. Those who can't spell have no business with words.
Norman! Airing of grievances! A Festivus for the rest of us….!
I agree about the rings. They bothered me in school too. That was decades ago. Thank you for sharing 🙏🩷😊
Love you Norman but have to let you know that I'm in rings & the Moterm press stud flaps lie beautifully flat.
Happy New Year & see you soon xxx

Thats the same reason I stopped using them too.

Yeah, that's it. I saw another video about it after I posted this one.
Feild Notes. 🙄 Me either.

@StorminNormanSays Leather does make a difference. I have a leather composition book cover that makes any $2 composition book feel premium. 😁
