A 5 x 8 inch black leather journal with 100 pages and a natural wooden pencil, sized for field notes, sketches and trail journaling.
Product Description
The Backwoods Provisions Black Leather Journal is a compact 100-page notebook with a natural wooden pencil, made for field notes, nature sketches, trail logs and the small observations worth writing down.
At 5 x 8 inches, it slips easily into a daypack, tote or glove box, so it is there when the heron shows up or the first frost lands on the garden.
Why You'll Love It
- Black leather cover: a classic, rustic look that holds up to everyday carrying.
- 100 pages: room for journaling, sketching, lists and notes from the trail.
- Wooden pencil included: ready to write the moment you open it, with no pen to forget.
- Compact size: 5 x 8 inches, easy to pack in a bag or backpack.
- Bound for daily use: a durable bound design made to be carried and used.
Built for Real Outdoor Use
A good journal turns a walk into something you remember. Jot down the birds at the feeder, sketch the leaf you could not identify, log the miles on a weekend hike or keep a running list of the first wildflowers each spring.
It works just as well for travel notes, camp journals and teachers keeping track of what the class found outside. It also makes a simple, thoughtful gift for older kids, teens and adults who like to write things down.
Things to Know
- Pencil, not pen: a pencil keeps working in cold or damp weather where some pens skip, and it is easy to sharpen.
- Leather ages: natural leather softens and changes character with use.
- Keep it dry: the pages and cover are not waterproof, so tuck it into a bag in wet weather.
- Single notebook: the journal is not refillable.

FOUNDED BY WOMEN. BUILT FOR ADVENTURE.
ODSS was started by mothers who saw firsthand how time outside builds resilient, confident kids. What began as helping outdoor schools equip students for all-weather learning grew into a bigger mission: Help families raise resilient, confident kids by making it easier for children to stay outside longer.
Testimonials
For us, the right gear from ODSS supports what we believe most about childhood. When children are able to be outside every day, in all seasons, they become tenacious, confident, and develop an authentic relationship with the land.

Working with Outdoor School Shop has transformed our outdoor school community. Parents love knowing their children are consistently and reliably equipped—and that nothing is forgotten or comes home covered in mud.
— RANDOLPH SCHOOL
Our students get outside in all temperatures and having the right gear makes a world of difference. @outdoorschoolshop has gear appropriate for all seasons, has a directory to search for nature schools, and layering guides to help families know how to dress children for the weather

At The Thistle and Root, I always recommend ODSS gear for anyone who believes that children grow best through nature—so dress for it.

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped! As we open up a new program, preparing our first group of kiddos for any weather was at the top of our priority list, and ODSS came through with insight, expertise, and the coolest, most dependable gear around! Thank you ODSS!
