== Field Notes Colors ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' I sent you the red blooded, which is the new, well, it's the second, it's the second base, I guess, base level field notes. Um, you know, the Brown craft paper looking one is this, the standard base level in the red, the new, the red blooded is kind of the new standard that always in stock field notes and then they had the special editions. What, what they, what field notes calls the color series. Like you were saying, you had the, the ones with the transfers on it and that you ordered. Um, I, I don't, I don't think I want to know what you spelled on the covers with your transfers.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's all terrible.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I actually, I don't subscribe to the color series. I actually, uh, cause I like to pick and choose and I actually skipped that one. I was like, I, you know, out of all the ones that I bought, um, I, I, I passed on that one. Interesting. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And then I also have, um, um, Stephen Hackett sent me a, a package full of field notes books he wasn't using. Mm. So I have the Tennessee edition. Okay. Um, and I have, um, some of the white ones and what are they called?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Uh, northerly.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Northerly. And these things are stunning. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. They're very cool. Actually. And I know, uh, I know your, uh, your cohost on cooking with, uh, Mr. Brett Kelly. He's a big field notes junkie too. Yeah. I know he has, he has all the colors and quantities and things like that. And I've ordered, I've ordered a bunch of them in the past. I actually, I've, I've really just started using them now that I work from home more. I actually kind of do like you do and separate some different projects into different notebooks and things like that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I, I would like to, at some point get the colors subscription, but I don't think I would use that many books. Yeah. It's one of the only things. Well, and the price is quite expensive. Yeah. So one thing I need to justify the cost and then actually have a use for all of them.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Uh, that's what I think I was, I don't know if it was Brett was talking about it on cooking or I caught him on Twitter saying he had 70 something or 90 something field notes, no books.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And I was like, yeah, I gotta go. One of the earlier episodes.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. I said, I gotta go count mine. I'm like, do I have more than that? And I went and counted and I sent a photo. I'll send it to you, send the link to you. I had 52. So it's not, it's not quite, uh, in Brett Kelly's realm, but, um, yeah, 52 individual field notes. I've actually been going through them a lot here recently. I just closed one out today and started a new one. I use it a lot for my, as my inbox on my desk instead of, you know, you know, a digital note taking app or something like that. That's everything goes in there. And I mentioned this before, everything goes in there. Then I'll move it out somewhere where it needs to be afterwards.
