I am a lady and i don't get all the stickers and washi tape ... thank you for sharing the dude's perspective.

Thank you for doing this from a man’s perspective. Nothing stowing the scrap booking videos by women but I can’t relate and was looking for some inspiration from a guys perspective. I’ve got 7 of them between my regular and passport size and it’s hard to find a use for more than two at a time so I mostly just switch the leather cover to a new color each season.

Dave I have been waiting for this video for a while now. Very well done. I am looking at an A5. I have a personal creme brûlée and I love it but want a bigger size. I also have two midori's but I rarely if ever use them at all. My feeling is nothing compares to the Chic Sparrow line of TNs (Thank you Ali for that one). God bless

I just watched, liked and subscribed to your channel. I never do that- I also ordered an A5 notebook from Chic Sparrow- and the pads you use from jet pens - gonna give it a try for sermon prep- my current setup is MacBook Pro and iPad. I want to try writing them out instead- you have inspired me

I thought I was the only guy on the planet who was interested in this

Next time use mink oil. This comes in liquid oil or in paste. Both work, but the paste form is best. It's good for any kind of leather. I have leather knife sheaths that are probably three times your age. Maybe older. My grandpa bought them when he was young, and mink oil paste has kept the leather better than new. As for calendars, that's valuable space for all sorts of thinks. I use a calendar to keep tracks of appointments, of course, but I also jot down how many words I write per day, number of pages I read in a book that day, miles I walk, anything and everything I want to keep track of and total at the end of the month. As for Traveler's Notebook, I have one, but it just doesn't meet my needs. It's too small, the inserts are much too thin, and don't open properly. I prefer a full-size planner with lots of room for notes, and a full-size notebook to back it up. I do, however, love Apica notebooks. Great paper for fountain pens, good price, and nice setup. I buy the large size there, too. Of course, I also buy Rhodia, Clairefontaine, Tomoe River, Leuchtturm1917, Exceed, and various other notebooks from Japan, China, Vietnam, Taiwan, France, Germany, and several other European nations. I have two fountain pens for every notebook I own, and a bottle of ink for each day of the year. I could be wrong, but I think I have an obsession for such things.

Great Video. I have always asked, WHY do girls and women turn journals into scrap books? Keep them separate is my thought!

Thank you! I’ve been looking for traveler’s non-washi and stickers vids 😂 way too minimalist for that stuff lol

Speckled Fawns and Sojourners both are professing Christians and have leather travelers notebooks in all sizes.

Thanks for sharing, maybe I should get one for my sermons and journaling.

Thank you! You named what I do! Routine routine routine, this is why my calendars so blank.

Jen recommends Otter Oil for the "creme" leather. It looks good on mine, it does darken the leather though, so use cautiously.

I've always wondered about these! Wow, these notebooks are awesome! If my writing weren't chicken scratch I'd grab one 😅

Now I have to buy those

Great video thanks fellow txn

Awesome video Dave! You’re hilarious. I’ve used oil on my journals too haha. I find olive oil to be the best for leather. It’s good for our skin and the leather too!

QUESTION where u get a shirt like that? love it!

Great ideas. I think writing is an art our society is quickly losing. I’m going to have to get one of these.

Awesome video, now I’m considering maverick😎thanks👍🏾

I love love my TN... But hey I'm a girl so no huge surprise there😂 thank you so much for listening to your wife and joining the TN world too📚 I wish my own husband was as easy 😂 maybe after this video he will see them as less girly. So thank you again for helping out the BROTHERS too. God bless you & your family always

Great video, love it! 😊💜

What a great video!

I love the coffee cup rings.

Wow, Ali's hubby! Nice to meet (see) you. I love your TN's. The ribbons are genius. Looks super old school :o) Are all those books behind you bibles?

Do you have a link where the Athena can be purchased? Thank you for sharing this video! It has inspired me

I love your ribbon bookmarks and I'm going to check that out next! Just as an aside, Chic Sparrow is bringing back the Maverick, only in the Golden Brown color, this coming Monday, Aug. 13th! woohoo!

"Can you do a dude video?" LMAO

Fantastic! Leather Love! :-)

I’ve watched this twice and just noticed the ihopkc sticker

Well done!

Where does the Calendar go if there’s only 4 elastics !? Lol 🤯

Canola oil for all 😂😂

Where do you order these from? Actually, I have found the Travelers Notebooks and I do see the Midori Passport but I am not sure of what you are displaying here is the same thing. I like the bigger one you use for pulpit. And what is Ally’s RU-vid page? Thanks. Never mind. I found it all except Ally’s page.

Dave, I was looking at getting a note one for some time now. At first I was thinking of the Schuyler note books, but after watching your vid I like the first one you showed. You said that the size of that one is standard? When I went on their site they don’t have that size. Could it be a B6 slim? Also I saw that section on their site on conditioning the leather. You don’t have to do that with bibles right???! 😨

NO washy tape, stichers, etc

Oh. Wow. Yus.

Hey brother have you seen or bought a Bible from Paul's Leather Co. Been seeing them, would love your thoughts on them. Thanks!

Does you wife have a channel and can you list it so we can see her travelers notebooks?

"When the Lord puts something into my heart"👍💥💗 thanks dude.

How many pages does a sermon for take up? I use an A5 size leather sermon binder where I print an punch holes. I have been thinking about going to handwriting my sermons. (I would love to hear more on why you went that direction and the process of going. Was there a time when you were like, "what am I doing just embrace the technology?" lol). My sermons are expanded outline form and usually run from 8-12 half sheet pages. I have this same set up with the CD11 inserts for my Topical Study Notes like...(Miscellanies)

Pen video next!

Have you ever tried fountain pens? Thoughts?

Is that a Lamy safari pen I see?😮

Where do you buy these?

You don,t show how is made in inside. I see more your face in this video than the notebooks. I want to see how is in inside....

SPIRITUAL OPSEC !!!!!

Have you seen what chicks do to their notebooks? You dabble in stickers by comparison. Personally I really don't like all the frilly stuff, it's just wasteful distractions to me
