I really enjoy watching how you structure your loadouts. It's very methodical. You must play Tetris. ;) I am also writing in a Leuchturm 1917, but with the 80gsm paper not the 120gsm heavy. I find that few of my inks bleedthrough or ghost. It's funny that I wound up with this journal... I filled my Rhodia while visiting my kids so i picked up the Leuchturm. I had tried one maybe a decade ago but found the paper unsuitable for fountain pens. That has changed. I can now recommend Leuchturm for fountain pen users. Moleskine journals are fine for gel pens or pencils but the paper is unpredictable/variable and I found it does not work well for fountain pens. Noodler's X-Feather ink /might/ work. The Rhodia journals (A5 size for me) use French Clairfontaine paper, which is fountain pen friendly and has a nice finish. The Lamy 2K is a very nice pen. I need to ink mine, I think. My daily journal writer is an Esterbrook J Series demi that I rebuilt and the Masternib in it is very smooth. These vintage pens were made in the millions and are readily available and easily restored. For my BulletJournal I use a vintage Parker 51 fine-medium and a P51 extra fine, both loaded with Heart of Darkness. The P51s were so well engineered and built that many are still in service with the original ink sacs. They are a delight to write with, but will dry out if not used. You might like a Pilot Falcon (also called the Namiki). I prefer the metal barrel version with a soft fine nib. It is a Japanese fine, so it is *fine*. The write very smoothly with the inks I use. The eyeglass case is an interesting referral. It looks like I'll have to go to the store in Reno to find them. Amazon does not have them. The cheap Chinese case that came with my spectacles has not lasted. Thanks for the peek into your head regarding organization. It's helpful and useful.
@B51608 multilingual household with strong German heritage, I'm fairly decent in German but a little out of practice. German pens, German paper, for a German guy haha!
Thank you Timothy. I listened to the whole video but maybe I missed it--where do you purchase the NutSac MDB? Also, do you have a go to source for your Bible purchases? The Nutsac is a great way to make our Bibles our constant companion!!
@stevestone5671 Thanks for taking the time to hear what I had to share. The NutSac bags are best acquired directly from their website; apparently, there are already some fakes coming up on the market, sadly. If you get them third party the price may be a little better, but you'll end up losing out in shipping. I would prefer to source Bibles locally because I want to hold them and know what I'm getting into, but I haven't seen the ones I prefer in store locally.

I never seriously considered the MBD as it seemed too small, but you managed to fit a lot in it.

Hi Timothy what brand is your drafting pencil? 🙏
@@Rick-fz7tt I use Pentel and Staedtler for durability and availability.
You speak German ? 1917 sounded very clear.
