A notebook that stays open.
New notes are dated because the details matter. Use this page for recent explanations, then follow the rubric or fieldbook resource behind each one.
The newest notes include reading a ridden surface, which applies the same dated-observation discipline to ruts, berms and whoops on dirt.
A newer shore note, stone and table notes, reads a coastal economy the way the fieldbook reads a sail: fixed points first, the table last.
small rooms small rigs

vinyl Film on Arrows
A field note on vinyl film for arrows: cast versus calendered stock, mil thickness, surface prep, heat removal, and how wrap mass shifts arrow balance.
Field notes often cross disciplines. A fly angler reading a seam or a riffle uses the same patience a bowhunter applies to a travel corridor. Picket Thill Field Notes covers water reading, trout activity, state season calendars, permit costs, and basic field skills like knots and wading safety. The journal is written for beginners and intermediate anglers and novice hunters who want verifiable schedules and costs. Its scope stays practical: what to check, when to go, and what a license or tag actually requires. That makes it a useful companion to any logbook kept for sails, wind, and time on the water.
