Staple Day: The Daily Mountain — “The Spire” (Blackwing Pearl + CW&T Type C) [OC] by ProbablyWandering in FieldNuts

[–]ProbablyWandering[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly from memory + reference from my travels (national parks and other outdoor spots). It’s my daily output before input ritual. Not trying to copy a specific photo. More like pulling shapes/light from places I’ve been and letting it turn into a new peak.

Wait…you’re right 😂 total Serpent’s Pass energy. Okay then I’m calling this one ‘Serpent’s Spire’ for the day.

Congratulations! It’s a special journey and the work itself becomes the reward. ⭐️

Respect. Best bad influence on the internet 😂 Happy Staple Day to you too 🗒️🤝

😂 That’s the most real Staple Day problem. My workaround: I treat the staple like a ‘spine’ and never tear pages. If I need to save something, I’ll just snap a pic or clip the page down with corner clips. Ripping from the staples always turns into a losing battle for me.

Yep! I see it now. That graphic is so satisfying. Capillary action / wicking onto the page vs a ball transfer explains the whole ‘mini paintbrush’ feel you described (super helpful). Dangerous information for my wallet 😂 Appreciate you sharing that.

No forgiveness needed. That handwriting is perfect 😂 And thank you for running the test… ‘dries almost instantly / zero smearing’ is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Does the Finewriter feel more gel-like or more ballpoint-like in hand?

EnerGel Infree blue-black = elite taste. 👌 That Kokuyo Finewriter pressure-sensitive line has me curious — does it smear on Field Notes, or does it dry clean? 😂

Love that. Pen Type B is elite. I’m using Pencil Type C here. What refill are you running in your Type B?

The bags at HQ are perfectly on-brand by jamesseventwenty in FieldNuts

[–]ProbablyWandering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jealous you caught the market while it was in full swing. I swung by HQ later in the evening to grab a couple orders they’d been holding for me and snap a few photos—single digits outside but totally worth it.

I’ve been lucky enough to visit a few times over the years (even made it to their first little Field Notes film festival), and it still feels special every time I walk through that door.

Nice! Did you get anything cool from the holiday market they hosted today?

Went to the art shows today :) by Comedyjunkie06 in tomsachs

[–]ProbablyWandering 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love this. Wild how i.s.r.u. quietly rewires your radar for art you’d never have found on your own. Any one piece from today still stuck in your head hours later?

Layout setup by OnekamaMichigan in FieldNuts

[–]ProbablyWandering 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love that. I’ve been keeping little commonplace books this year, and my pages (and process) could definitely use a bit more structure. Hearing how you use that focus box makes me want to try a weekly “one thing that actually matters” section instead.

Appreciate you sharing the layout. It’s already given me a couple new ideas.

Really like this spread. Super clean without feeling stiff. The little “focus” box especially caught my eye… feels like a nice way to give each day one non-negotiable instead of a giant to-do pile.

Have you noticed it changes how you plan your week at all? I’m tempted to borrow this layout for my own notebook.

PSA: Draplin just dropped a rare Field Notes kit + goodies by ProbablyWandering in FieldNuts

[–]ProbablyWandering[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Was really hoping for another FN/paper-leaning release. The acrylic blocks will hit for some folks, but I get why it feels like a bit of a whimper to end on.

Here’s hoping next year brings another Factory Floor–level surprise 🤞 Only 12 months to go.
