Backcountry Log

Small and gifty, Back Country Log is part of a suite of products created by Blackbird Letterpress geared toward lovers of handcrafted paper products and the great outdoors. Lightly guided inside, the log has space for multiple hikes or excursions, and is curated to help backpackers record the most crucial details of their adventures. Illustrated backmatter on trail etiquette and animal tracks adds a hand-hewn touch.
