Howard is right! You are so positive and your videos are informative and relaxing. I have gotten back into fountain pens and journals because of you… thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re feeling inspired to write again. :)
you are literally the most adorable human being i have ever seen!!you’re so positive and passionate about your journals it’s so inspiring i hope you’re having a lovely day
I LOVE that you were squatting in the bushes and used a tree for a tripod. What a great life! Thanks for sharing it with us to enjoy vicariously :).
I used to have stickers and tip ins and a million pens and markers... A few years back I honed it back to paper and pen and really enjoy the process of notetaking and journaling a lot more now. The size of the notebook has changed (I’m in an A5 now, versus a passport), but I feel more free to write pulling out a notebook and pen than I ever did having a whole production of setting up and using and putting away a bunch of extra things. I know a lot of people enjoy those things as creative time (while others play instruments or paint or knit), but for me the journaling accessories were a hassle or a burden. Ive found that for me, a simple setup opened more more possibilities than the “stuff” ever did. I’m happy for you that you’ve found a setup that really speaks to you.
this is my favorite video that you've ever done! my husband came into the room and asked me what i was watching and I replied " tree talking", he said "why is she squating in the bushes?" and i told him the tree was your tripod, he said " that's bloody genius", so there you go, you're not silly, you're a genius!!! have a fantastic adventure!
Hahaha that’s so wonderful! Tree talking!
Thank you so much!
I would love to see an update when you return home of the things you used and loved having with you as well as things you didn’t use as much as you thought you would or not at all!
That’s a great idea! I can definitely do that :)
Seems like your having so much fun...awesome 😊. Thanks for sharing.
just so lovely - I love getting these journalling updates from you while you're in the outdoors!! living vicariously💚💚
You’re a genius! Putting a strap onto your journal! Cool. You look really happy in nature. Enjoy your trip. And I love to hear you talking about journaling. It’s so inspirational.
I wish i was there. It’s so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I’ve be working so much that I could not write so much, and always when I see your videos I miss writing, since it’s the thing I love the most in life. So thank you, for always reminding me to write, and enjoy nature and so on. ❤️
I envy you so much. 🥰 I am sitting here in an overheated city, tomorrow will be 36°C/97°F and I have a new neighbour that started complaining about me being too loud in my kitchen because she wants to sleep in her guest room that is next to my kitchen instead of her actual bedroom and works shifts. 😑 I hate people and really want to live on my own island. I would only allow deliveries one day a week and would watch them from top of my island and only get there and pick my deliveries up, when they have left again. 😁 Day-dreaming...
YES!! Same. I will wave to you atop my own island. We can be pen pals.
I usually take a bluetooth speaker into the kitchen to listen to audiobooks while i work. and it's loud so i can hear the narrator over the running water. your neighbor would hate me.
@@angiejoh.7156 Oh yes, please. Penpal is exactly the right amount of contact I would love to have with people. 🥰
@@treemerryweather She would. 😄I have been living here 19 years now and she is probably the fifth neighbour but the first and only one complaining. Best thing: She thinks she is absolutely silent, she is not. Of course. No one can be totally silent, that's ridiculous. 😉
Thank you for another beautiful video! It’s really inspiring to see someone so in their element in these difficult times. I hope the wilderness is treating you with kindness 😜 Plus, that is probably the most innovative traveler’s notebook setup I have ever seen! Your sense of versatility knows no bounds and I bet that Kaweco & Chic Sparrow had no idea what they were in for when you got them. 🖋 Please keep us updated if it’s not too much extra stress or resource usage!
So Beautiful and Talented! Great vlogs!
Brilliant! I love the strap on your journal! So simple and smart.
:-)
How wonderful, sitting in the wild, beautiful scenery. 🧡
Necessity is the mother of all inventions. Glad you are having a great time. We are in the middle of winter and just watching you in a warm field, gives me hope that winter will pass.
Adding a strap to a TN is life changing! I’ve added straps to all my everyday carrys! Thanks for the tip!
Love camping, it sounds like you’re having a nice time :)) Your purse strap on the TN is perfect! Enjoy the rest of your trip and thanks for taking the time to film a video :))
How fun! I’m always envious of people who can be outdoors and not get carried away by gargantuan mosquitos (🙋🏻♀️). I never go camping based solely on that issue. I would also probably be extremely grouchy without any AC 🤷🏻♀️ I love the purse strap idea. Brilliant 💡
I always tend to ‘over pack’ in every category when I take a trip...journaling supplies are no exception! Glad you’re having a great time ♥️
Same here!
I have always overpacked too!
I just don’t want to be without something
I may want or enjoy having at the time!
😅
Love the video and the mini printer is a great idea. Great to add visuals to writing. Hope you are enjoying your journey. Scenery looks amazingly peaceful🙂
Child is asleep, turn on computer...Oh hooray! Another video from my favourite youtuber! Thank you for talking to the tree to make another lovely video for us!
It's so good to hear from you. I am so glad you're have a wonderful trip. God Bless!
Genius solution with the purse strap. And yes - traveling and camping (as you have done) or moving across the country in an RV as my family did last month - these highlight what is essential and what is fluff. Wonderful video! You continue to inspire! :)
Glad you are having fun. Really liked this video. Thanks. BLESSINGS
What an amazing setup to always carry your Travelers Notebook! Iove it!! 🥰📔
Adorable!!!! You and the woods! 💛
One of the nicest videos I’ve ever seen!
So wonderful to see you in the outdoors☀️
Your video brings back memories of
my camping adventures in my younger days😎🌺
Have bushels of fun, you are making memories
that you will cherish!
You are having so much fun !!! It is finally starting to cool off here.....I can now go out side with out getting cooked by the sun.
I bought on of those Canon printers after I saw it in a past video of yours. It's SO fantastic, thank you for sharing! 💜💜💜
Gonna have to check out those pen-shaped scissors! Seems like a handy thing to have.
I am happy to be the tree you are talking to. I always overpack my journaling stuff. Even when I go super minimal I don't use everything unless I make a point to. I love my Ivy printer. I have a teeny tiny scissors like you have but half the size. It came in a Stationery Selection box put together by MyLifeMits (her youtube channel/name). I love those too. As tiny as they are they are super easy to use.
So good to see you and catch up on how your trip is going! I also tend to take too many things on trips with which to journal. Hoping Bean is doing well!
So jealous of your adventures glad you are having a good time
I really enjoyed this check in with you. Listening to what you packed and did not use is an analog for my own situation at home. So many things unused and superfluous. As I go through my life I acquire material goods for a life that is not mine, but the life i feel i should have, maybe? I have so many things in this space that are exactly like the two cartridges you packed to hike even though you are refilling your pen and are carrying the extra 'weight' of the superfluous cartridges. I really need to carry that image with me today as i walk through my space identifying things i have that i haven't used in way too many years. thank you for this mild incentive. and was that rain i heard in the beginning of the video shot through the tent cabin? mmmm rain is good.
Oh yes, I know what you mean. Collecting things for a life perhaps wanted, but not yet living. I really do feel that if something isn’t being used, and even something that can’t have multiple purposes, it needs to go. Sometimes, that’s harder than not to apply. Especially as a collector. The cartridges, like you say are a good example, or even the other 11 fountain pens I’ve brought but have hardly used. I think there are cycles though in life, times of acquiring and times of purging - all constantly refining and adapting to ones current life needs. Good luck sorting through things, if you’re in need of downsizing. :)
Thank you for commenting.
@@adventuredenali If you don't mind i'm going to take that piece you wrote about use and multiple functions and place it on several walls in my space. i'm 70 and i really want to lighten my load for the adventures to come. also about the other 11 fountain pens - you were packing not for the moment but for the long haul of this extended vacation and in those situations we usually err on the side of wanting too many options - enjoy your awesome trip.
You may feel awkward but it doesn’t at all seem so from my perspective! I love your updates and they inspired me to think more about my journaling “set up” before I went on a recent camping trip. The result? I wrote and enjoyed it even more than usual! It looks like you’re having an incredible adventure!
Loving this video and been following your channel for some time. I so enjoy you and your set up is great. I love when people use their creative side to adapt a Traveler Notebook to outdoors, camping and adventures...Thanks
Loved this video...and really think you're idea to add a strap to your journal is fabulous! Looks like you are having a wonderful adventure, thanks for taking some time to share your thoughts and goodies with the rest of us! :)
You always have the best ideas! 🙂 Thanks for the video! It's lovely to see you're doing so well.
"Squatting in the bushes..." LOL! Just curious, how long can you write with a cartridge in the Kaweco? I have my eye on one and wonder how many pages I could get thru before the ink runs out.
Just counted, 51 front and back pages, or double that if you count front and back separately. Pocket sized pages though. Which may equate to about a third of that maybe if in an A5 size? I don’t have an A5 size handy to compare.
@@adventuredenali Perfect. I'm using a pocket and a B6, so that should work just fine. Thanks and happy trails!
Well, now I need to go thrifting after a strap for my journal 😂 Your setup is absolutely lovely, and so was your setup in the bushes 💚
Oh, I'm also wondering, how are you doing the planning during this trip? Is there a separate hidden planner? Do you not (feel the need to) plan, do you keep all of the details in your head, use your phone, delegate it to your partner, or is it incorporated into your journaling?
I really like this video. Flick the leaf. I have been eyeing a pair of scissors like that on Jet Pens. When you get home and you can show it close up, you'll have to show how you did the purse strap. Now the big question. With what you know now, how would you pack for journalling next time?
Lovely video
Love your journal bag hack!
Hilarious! Well I appreciate you channeling thru the tree...who cares what it looks like! 😁
Thanks for your video!! It was great to see!! Enjoy your holiday and continue to have fun!! 😁
i have those same pen scissors. bought mine from japan last year. Its really useful when travelling and so pocketable too.
I love seeing you out and about! Talking to a tree! Lol. That made me giggle!
A camera stuck in a tree! I've definitely done that for my flute videos. It's so great to write in the wild, until the mosquitoes find you, that is :)
citronella or lemongrass essential oil is really effective against mosquitoes...and i live in a tropical country where mosquitoes abound. i sprayed myself liberally with it when i spent hours taking pics of neowise C/2020 F3 and didn't get a single mosquito bite :)
@@cebukitty Thanks!
Do you still like this printer or any highlights of what you liked? I've been thinking about getting a pocket printer but can't decide. Also any suggestions on like pen pouches or puch for other goodies?
Love the strap idea 😍
Following your trip is invigorating since here we are stuck in level four still.......Doomed to the not more than five kms from home for no more than an hour a day with a mask "............no visitors etc "...........Mind you animals are loving humans stuck in there home all day lol ....keep the videos coming ....😷🌍👍🇦🇺
Alicia, I would love a pen roll like yours. I Where can I purchase one? I would like to also get a fountain pen. I used one in school as a child many years ago. I which one would you recommend as my first pen?
You should be a screen writer! I can watch your videos several times and they always seem new. Yesterday I ordered a CS A5 Americano, now I need inserts, lol.
Ooh congratulations! The americano is such a gorgeous color. Hope it brings lots of inspiration to you. Have fun finding inserts. :)
Are there other people camping near you? It just looks a lot like heaven there. What is the temperature? Looks cooler judging by your clothes. Those little printers are so awesome! Have fun!😊😊
There are! It’s 20 acres owned by family friends. I usually come up here in the summer, I help with building projects, and they give me Paradise to live in for a little while. :)
Loved this video! When you get home, would you consider doing a “tour” of your fountain pens and inks? (I’m a pen/ink fan, too.) Thanks! Happy camping!
Most definitely :D
Thank you!
You're a freaking Ghibli character :))
Trees are The Best Tripods!! 😊
I have a little keychain/charm attached to my traveler's notebook. I found it on the ground, took it home, and cleaned it up. It was kinda buried a little bit so I assumed no one had touched it for a while, but to be safe I sprayed some disinfecting spray on it and let it sit, lol.
That was so sweet; I loved this. Seems like you’re having a really nice time =)
I want to be like you when I'm older
@adventuredenali haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa "... talking to a tree..." hilarious. Have fun Alicia. -Kelly
Have you seen the new Chic Sparrow Lewis & Clark? I assume you have; it seems like it would be a good fit for this! You’re not too far from me (well, in Montana terms, a couple of hours is quite close!): I haven’t been able to spend any time in this area yet. It looks so beautiful! Hopefully next year, once the kids are a little older we can get out camping somewhere like this. Helena is on the smaller side of cities, but I’m still feeling the need to run away for a bit.
I have! I’m intrigued by the Lewis and Clark, and if there comes a day in which I go back to A5, I’d really love to try them out.
I’ve always wanted to visit Helena! I’ve actually not explored much of the state. Generally, I come here and hardly even leave the property, haha. I will make it to Glacier this year though, which I’m very excited about. My parents visited Helena one year and really enjoyed it quite a bit, considered moving there for a moment even.
What size journal are you using?
This is a pocket sized Leuchtturm, sometimes they’re listed as A6, but they’re narrower, like a Field Notes.
You sure that wasn't poison ivy you were sitting in? Lol! I guess we will find out in your next video adventure!
Hahaha! Fortunately it was not! There’s only one area up here that I know has poison ivy, it’s a little patch along the Yellowstone River. But the forest up here is surprisingly tame and friendly. :D
Love you
Deer ticks.
AlessandroVolta1 this forest is remarkably welcoming. In the ten years of living up here in the summer, I’ve never once seen a tick! Doesn’t mean they’re not here, but I’ve bushwhacked a plenty.
You are the coolest. Miss you in the dolly community, but so happy to see you enjoying your life adventures❤️❤️❤️❤️Great vid, Beautiful.💋
Wino & the D word Libby!!! It’s so wonderful to see you here. Thank you so much. I miss you as well. Hope life is bringing a little peace and inspiration to you. ❤️
