How to Choose a Bag for Nature Journaling
Ойын-сауық
Learn how to choose the best nature journaling bag for you. After reviewing many bags I share the criteria that you should consider when choosing the best bag for nature journaling, urban sketching, and watercolor painting in the field.
I am not currently sponsored by any of these companies but I have included some links below. Some of the links I will get a small percentage if you use them but most of them I have included to help you find the nature journaling supplies that work best for you.

Great point! I did not have his bag at the time to test. But I have seen it and used it briefly.
Super helpful! Really great, thorough video that gives food for thought! Thank you very much!

You're very welcome! I'm passionate about this subject because I think that choosing the right bag can have such an impact on people's nature journaling. Getting a bag that worked for me was a huge unlock and I want to make sure that other people can reach their potential (one piece of equipment should not be what holds us back!)

@@MarleyPeifer I wholeheartedly agree! Finding the right bag to hold sketching supplies, whether it’s for nature journaling or urban sketching or everyday/anything sketching is essential. It has been a 15 year experiment for me! There’s a lot of great bags out there, but not all are great for the needs of a sketcher. You’ve brought up some important points to think about when choosing a bag. I think my main issues is that I like to switch up the type of media I use every now and then… sometimes I’m on an ink and watercolor stint, but right now I’m on a marker and colored pencil stint which requires different organization. I wish there was one (or even two) bags that could just handle it all. I was considering the Makers bag, but I’m glad I watched this video first. I’ve never liked bags that only open top with a flap/lid closure because I loose stuff. Too bad they don’t make it with both a zip closure and a flap so you have options. For women who like a more feminine looking bag that still has great functionality, Lug (brand) and Baggallini (brand) have some great bags. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet found my one, mostly perfect bag. It’s nice to see you’ve pretty much found yours, but frustrating they have discontinued it. I think this is a subject that can be revisited many times. 👍 Awesome job on the video!
I'm looking forward to your review of JML's bag! I was looking at it online. I struggle because I like to mix backpacking and hiking in with my journaling so I carry more stuff in case of emergency since Im father out. Haven't found the right set up yet.

Hi Nerissa, I totally understand the compromise that you are talking about. What size sketchbook do you usually use? I wonder if there is a way to keep a smaller nature journaling kit in an easily accessible pouch of your backpack that can be accessed without taking the whole backpack off every time?
