FIELD NOTES / IDEAS FOR THE WAY OUT
A LITTLE MORE
TIME OUTSIDE.
Short observations, practical questions and a different way to notice the places around you.
FIELD NOTE 01 / PLANNING
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN IF THE WEATHER CHANGES?
What happens when the forecast turns, the route feels different or the original plan no longer fits? A little flexibility can be the most useful thing you bring along.

FIELD NOTE 02 / NAVIGATION
A map is a way of noticing.
Find three features on a map that you can see around you: a bend in a stream, a ridge or the shape of a trail. Notice how the small details make the whole landscape easier to understand.
Try it: Pause at the next trail junction and find your location before you look at your phone.
FIELD NOTE 03 / PRACTICE
The case for a familiar trail.
A familiar route can be a surprisingly good teacher. Walk it after rain, in a different season or at another time of day, and you’ll notice how much the same place can change.
Try it: Return to one spot and write down three things you didn’t notice last time.
