I've just had a revelation about journal addicts: many of us seem to love CONTAINERS more than other people. Purses or backpacks are containers for our basic necessities. Journals contain our words/thoughts/art. Pens contain the ink we need to express our thoughts/art. Pouches contain all the tools (we feel) are necessary. I also can't bear to get rid of certain jars and bottles, and they can contain life-giving food! Maybe this sounds a little "out there," but it just occurred to me when you were showing us your pen cases! Does anyone else have thoughts on this? For the real, true journal addicts out there, a love of containers really seems to be universal. What does it mean?? Love all your vlogs, by the way -- don't care what you talk about :)
I am bedridden and in a lot of pain. I look forward to your videos. They give me joy ! Please don't stop making them. I journal, and read as well. Blessings to you. Paisley
You might add a bottle and some water purification tablets if you like survival supplies. As a kid I was obsessed with wilderness survival novels, especially those by Jim Kjelgaard, who moved from the Northeast to the Southwest and wrote some novels based there. Because of those novels I used to carry a pocket knife everywhere, and once used it to free a bird who was tangled up in a bush with kite string!
I love to see what people carry around! Journal is a must too for me, and I also always have a knife and a good old bic lighter for survival fire building. Ya know what else is nice? Toilet paper sealed in a bag 😋 and of course a journal to document the adventure 😉
No reason to feel awkward! It’s always interesting! Love miniature anything! Now I want a tiny backpack. You inspire a whole world of people with same interests! Don’t stop! You are adorns!
I am a bit late seeing this but I love bag reveals. I love curating the contents of my own bag with the thought that somebody might be interested in seeing what I carry and that what they see will represent who I am. I always think about what I include and ask myself 'what does this say about me?'. So far, nobody has ever asked what is in my bag, but I still have fun putting it together anyway :)
Carry a box of matches and a knife and journal - :) hey survival instincts ! - thank you for sharing ! very very cute bag congrats on the lovely steal ~
It's nice when when patience & consistency are rewarded. Also appreciated like when you find that special something that remains special. The emotion when you find it can be as specail as what you found. Njoy & have fun! Stay Healthy Stay Safe! 🌹
I had a bag with a similar structure when I was in high school and I LOVED it. I kept it for years and years. This video just took me back to walking those old wooden floors and bad window unit air conditioned classrooms. (My HS was super old) Man, those were the days....
This video just checked all the boxes!! I love seeing the secret things that people carry in their bags and in their journals! 😄 And I absolutely understand about carrying matches and a knife in case you're ever stuck in the woods...my bag is like a suitcase, but I'm prepared for anything! 😃👍
You are an adorable human and I am grateful for your contribution to the world of writers who love the pens that write on our beloved paper carried by the bags and cases that carry those necessary bits and bobs. :)
Great video! Thank you! I’m just now seeing this! Love the bag! I have an 8-year old Coach hobo bag and I love it. I just need to get the lining replaced. Use it EVERYDAY!!! I am so interested in doing a hobonichi. Where can I find the cover like what you have? That is exactly what I’m looking for!!!! Thank you and God Bless!!! Thank you!!!
I actually found one of these bags today at a thrift store. I saw it in this video a few months ago and I couldn't believe that I found the same one! I really am in love with it too, really cheered me up to find it! Perfect size for my Gfeller B6 Slim journal and calendar set up.
Girl! Have you seen Chic Sparrow’s Lewis and Clark TN purses? The last thing I need is another TN least of all an A5, but ... but ... oh gosh! Jen’s last IG story is showing off two they just made and they’re just too gorgeous. I don’t even know if I’d use it as a bag. Maybe if we weren’t quarantined and I was free to wonder around the city and journal my heart and eyeballs out while I did, but now? Le sigh. This is the power of the sparrow and especially of that Darcy ....
Your videos are delightful, always! Boring - NEVER! Might need to add matches to my bag. And speaking of bags during this pandemic, I think I’ve gotten into mine 3 times in 57 days at home LOL
I love, love What’s In My Bag videos! Thanks. I enjoy searching thrift/antique stores for a desire. And I feel as you do...clouds part! I am also a total sucker for pouches-and purses-and can barely pass one up. Your two new ones are great. Sarah almost has me searching leather sites, so I understand the inspiration. Now I’m going to try very hard not to let You be one for Me! (I’m supposed to be on a low spend.)
Cheryl Clough haha oh Sarah! That’s awesome, you think you’ll take the plunge? It really is a cloud parting. Makes the challenge of it all so worth while.
I enjoy watching your videos so much I've watched and re-watched a whole lot of them - so nope, this is not boring at all. Hey, since we're all in quarantine, I wonder if you'd be interested in making a video/videos on 'pretend' scenarios: travel bag for a trip to Italy; journal supplies for a coffee shop outing once the lockdown ends; books to bring/read on a tropical holiday; flight must-haves; playlists for a sixteen-hour, one-way trip to Japan..then tag Waski and Sarah. (edit...) PS - bought my first vintage fountain pen yesterday! 😊
@@adventuredenali Oh dear...I think it's called Aaron (?) or Armstrong (?). LOL sorry can't remember. It's not a name we come across as a maker of modern fountain pens. I just picked the oldest pen in the seller's inventory. I followed your advice (so thankful you made that video!) on how to pick one, and got mine from an established vintage FP retailer/restorer in Canada. Based on your video/experiences, I decided that I didn't want to risk getting and unusable pen from eBay since I don't have the skills to restore pens.
Awesome sign off! 😂😂😂😄😄😄. Yay for Opinel pocket knives. I still have my father's from the 1970's. We'll have to get you a ferro stick in case those matches get wet!
I'm with ya on being stranded so I hope we meet up when we are because I will have the other half of the stuff we need, For example I'll have chocolate for energy, swiss army knife/tools, tylenol, a bottle of water, chapstick, and of course my travelers notebook full of necessities! ha ha The feeling is REAL!
I carry the same Opinel knife, with the gray handle and leather strap. I really like the brand; . They make a model with a fire starter on the handle; that i think it is perfect for your "being stranded in the woods" needs =)
@@adventuredenali These knives are really cool. The price is right and they are of good quality. I collected them for a while, stopped when I started to buy more fountain pens ... excellent tools.
So cool! We carry similar things. I made a "survival" altoids tin and carry a knife along with journal and some tarot cards for when someone asks me to do theirs
You are so kooky, but in a good way. I love your style of dressing, the glasses/haircut. When the video first started, I got little house on the prairie/amish/the waltons type of vibe from you. Your look anyway.
yjetlee my phone? It’s so boring! Haha! There’s not much to it XD I do use my phone for recording and editing. I have a tiny tripod, but would love to find a better tripod set up. Keeping it simple though, else I wouldn’t be so inclined to do it all, ha!
Lindocks pencil pouches are amazing!!!! I purchased two recently and I love them both. She sells out of the cool patterns fast so you gotta order when you see them. Lol.
SUPER jealous of your Pelikan 400! Most for sale are the 400N or NN, but I love the flat top :( You've pretty much convinced me to save up for a Chic Sparrow; right now I only journal before bed in a Hobonichi Techo, but with only one page per day I need more. While I could steal the folio that holds my Techo, I'd much rather have a nice leather back for something I carry in my backpack.
you are so cute and always happy . I have alot of purses and bags too and my hubs always asks how come you have so many bags ?I love the pouches too they come in handy so know your feeling about that . Thanks for showing us those items . take care , stay safe and stay sane .
Love those eyeglasses? But also definitely agree about taking the journal with you above all else!! I left my phone at home on accident but definitely remembered mt journal 😂🤦🏻♀️
Really lovely ❤️ video. Your enthusiasm is so sweet. I really love ❤️ that Coach, I just bought the Stewardess bag on eBay but I didn’t get it any where near the price you paid, lol 😂. Thank you for sharing. 😇
Irony, indeed, Alicia - I just carry a rucksack with me on my travels - Wallet, one, possibly two fountain pens; an A6 notebook (Sigel 'Conceptum' - you should try them out), a camera - for grab shots, a small water bottle, & a couple of energy bars...for that potential emergent 'Woodland' experience ;D, & invariably, a mobile phone. I had considered carrying a pocket knife - altho' in the UK/ROI, a knife that has a blade longer than 7.5cm (approx 3") is classed as an offensive weapon, so really no point - tho' I understand your rationale. Please don't be offended by my next remark: I feel somehow, that you were born in the wrong era - you'd have been perfectly placed in the 1930's - or a decade either side of that period - you seem wholly pragmatic & common-sensical - which are wonderful attributes; most of all, you possess a dry, laconic sense of humour. Finally, I think you have adopted a European style of writing & spelling - perhaps, by dint of your Dutch-Indonesian lineage; if I am incorrect in that assertion, please tell me. Keep safe & well, Best, Andrew :)
I would love to know what size that Chicsparrow journal is (or is that the same one you did a video of a few years back)...really debating on seriously investing in one. I keep a stenopad next to me at home / computer as I am a stroke survivor and it really helps me remember things, plan, etc. It's a huge investment for me to do - but might be able to with this stimulus stuff! thanks !!
Harley hello there, the journal cover shown in this video is a pocket size. According to the Chic Sparrow website, these are the measurements: Pocket Approximate Dimensions When Laying Flat: 6 inches tall x 8.75 inches wide Insert Size: 5.5 inches tall x 3.5 inches wide Holding Capacity: 4 inserts You can find measurements for the other TNs here: chicsparrow.com/pages/sizes-101-tn-insert I hope this helps you :)
Hi! First, I love your videos! Keep making them! Secondly, I recently purchased my first vintage fountain pen! I was on the fence for quite some time, but you pushed me over! I purchased a Conklin Ringtop Endura and I love it! I'm on the hut (down the rabbit hole) for my next one. Where did you find your vintage Pelikan 400, if I may ask? Thank you. Seriously.
Judith Kilvington congratulations!!!!! Conklins are soooo fantastic. I bet it’s a beauty. I found the vintage Pelikan on Peyton Street. There are ones on eBay that seem to be in great condition and restored.
If you're inclined towards pouches, you may consider a dedicated pen pouch/wrap for your pen. That Pelikan's cap is of a softer material than the binde and will scratch more easily.
Jeff L thank you! I do have many pen pouches, sleeves and other things, just for that. I guess I haven’t been especially worried, and perhaps I should, as it’s a pen I love greatly.
Check out tombihn.com for pouches and bags. I use the small double organizer pouch as my wallet because at the moment I'm out only for quick errands and can clip that pouch to my keys. I love their bags and backpacks and organizing pouches. All waterproof. You'd like the daylight backpack if you are in the rain on your bike. Nothing gets wet inside. They are a small American company with awesome products and a lifetime warranty. They are about one-bag travel even on international travel, w/o checked luggage.

I've just had a revelation about journal addicts: many of us seem to love CONTAINERS more than other people. Purses or backpacks are containers for our basic necessities. Journals contain our words/thoughts/art. Pens contain the ink we need to express our thoughts/art. Pouches contain all the tools (we feel) are necessary. I also can't bear to get rid of certain jars and bottles, and they can contain life-giving food! Maybe this sounds a little "out there," but it just occurred to me when you were showing us your pen cases! Does anyone else have thoughts on this? For the real, true journal addicts out there, a love of containers really seems to be universal. What does it mean?? Love all your vlogs, by the way -- don't care what you talk about :)
Patty Figurski ooh my goodness, you’ve hit the nail right on its head! That is so insightful! And I believe, incredibly accurate! Wow!
Patty Figurski very true for me as well! Nice analogy!
May I quote you on Instagram? I really do think this will resonate with so many.
AdventureDenali Sure! It will be interesting to see if it does!
Yes! I collect little jars and cute boxes. I can't throw them out because they are great for many things
You have forgotten the most important thing about that bag, something you always carry with you ... your natural charm! ;) :)
The Dandy Mod oh goodness, thank you, haha!
I knew there was something still in the bag!
@@adventuredenali Of course! ;) Not at all.
So true!

I am totally with you on having the journal in case of an emergency! Then matches and a knife.
Maureen Carlton journal is always #1 priority!
So cute! And so you! I bought more Lindock pouches 🤪. They’re just so awesome. I have enough for each excuse I came up with so I should be set, hahaha
Due to your recommendations on your channel Sarah I purchased 2 😊!

Is very nice video my friend nice to meet you ❤️
Irony, indeed, Alicia - I just carry a rucksack with me on my travels - Wallet, one, possibly two fountain pens; an A6 notebook (Sigel 'Conceptum' - you should try them out), a camera - for grab shots, a small water bottle, & a couple of energy bars...for that potential emergent 'Woodland' experience ;D, & invariably, a mobile phone. I had considered carrying a pocket knife - altho' in the UK/ROI, a knife that has a blade longer than 7.5cm (approx 3") is classed as an offensive weapon, so really no point - tho' I understand your rationale.
Please don't be offended by my next remark: I feel somehow, that you were born in the wrong era - you'd have been perfectly placed in the 1930's - or a decade either side of that period - you seem wholly pragmatic & common-sensical - which are wonderful attributes; most of all, you possess a dry, laconic sense of humour. Finally, I think you have adopted a European style of writing & spelling - perhaps, by dint of your Dutch-Indonesian lineage; if I am incorrect in that assertion, please tell me.
Keep safe & well,

Not dumb to carry the matches. I carry a knife, a mini lighter and a flashlight and water at all times. 🤣🤣🤣

Is that pocket journal your current primary, or is it just an on-the-go journal?
RMD Cade it’s my primary! I can’t do the multiple journal thing, I’ve tried, but I like to consolidate my already all over the place thoughts, ha.
Lovely journal set up! How do you keep your fountain pen's ink from drying up? I just got into fountain pens recently.
I just have to say, you are absolutely adorable❤

Harley hello there, the journal cover shown in this video is a pocket size. According to the Chic Sparrow website, these are the measurements:
Pocket
Approximate Dimensions When Laying Flat: 6 inches tall x 8.75 inches wide
Insert Size: 5.5 inches tall x 3.5 inches wide
Holding Capacity: 4 inserts
You can find measurements for the other TNs here: chicsparrow.com/pages/sizes-101-tn-insert
I hope this helps you :)
@@adventuredenali you are so kind! thank you for taking time out to answer me!! It looks like it would be great for me!! :-)
Harley you’re very welcome :)
I hope it is fills a valuable niche in your life.
Is the the pocket size chic sparrow with an a6 leuchtturm inside?
Yup! The Leuchtturm A6 isn’t a true a6 size, haha. It’s narrower, so the pocket is a better fit in my opinion.
Hi! First, I love your videos! Keep making them! Secondly, I recently purchased my first vintage fountain pen! I was on the fence for quite some time, but you pushed me over!

Judith Kilvington congratulations!!!!! Conklins are soooo fantastic. I bet it’s a beauty. I found the vintage Pelikan on Peyton Street. There are ones on eBay that seem to be in great condition and restored.
If you're inclined towards pouches, you may consider a dedicated pen pouch/wrap for your pen. That Pelikan's cap is of a softer material than the binde and will scratch more easily.
Jeff L thank you! I do have many pen pouches, sleeves and other things, just for that. I guess I haven’t been especially worried, and perhaps I should, as it’s a pen I love greatly.
I love your address book! I live about 15 minutes from Lake Winnipesaukee! Did you visit the area? Where did you find the address book?
You are so adorable 💞💖💖💖
Is that a hardcover pocket notebook in the travelers notebook ?
Srishty Vahie it is! :D
Wow thank you ! I’ve been using a Moleskine pocket hardcover journal and have been wondering if I could keep it in a travelers notebook
No cellphone in your bag?
Check out tombihn.com for pouches and bags. I use the small double organizer pouch as my wallet because at the moment I'm out only for quick errands and can clip that pouch to my keys. I love their bags and backpacks and organizing pouches. All waterproof. You'd like the daylight backpack if you are in the rain on your bike. Nothing gets wet inside. They are a small American company with awesome products and a lifetime warranty. They are about one-bag travel even on international travel, w/o checked luggage.
I hope she’s married. This woman is too perfectly genuine to not be married!!!!
Cheesy Horror nope, haha! Was once upon a time though!

I’m only here for the comment section it’s true, Gemini :)
Gemini, although we’re both air, perhaps that’s why it could be mistaken :)
