Beginners always ask "What do you need for nature journaling?" In this updated video for 2022 I give you my tips based on years of experience for choosing the most essential nature journaling supplies and how to save you money. Whether you are just getting started with nature journaling, are an intermediate nature journaler, or an advanced field sketcher looking to streamline your nature journaling kit this video will help. In addition to listing specific nature journaling materials I give you the criteria necessary to pick the best supplies for you, because you have specific needs, logistics, and circumstances.
I am not financially sponsored by any of these companies and am fiercely critical when it comes to testing supplies.
Here is a comprehensive list of most of my supplies. (I get a small percentage if you buy using these links.)
