Just got back from a quick weekend camp and realized I’ve been keeping a little “camp log” in my notebook every time I go out. It started as a way to remember what I packed or forgot, but it’s turned into something more personal.
What I include:
- Where I camped and what the weather was like
- Who I was with and what we did
- Gear that worked well (or didn’t)
- Wildlife sightings, cool moments, and random thoughts
Now I’ve got a few years’ worth of entries, and flipping back through them brings back great memories. It’s also helped me get better at planning future trips.
Anyone else do something similar? Or do you journal, sketch, or track your outdoor time in another way?
Would love to hear your take!
