Always Watching
Our 12th Field Notes Quarterly Edition was designed as a companion for the dedicated and vigilant men and women who have served as the “eyes of the forest” for the last 100 years. Fire Spotter was printed by hand on a vintage Miehle vertical press at Flywheel Letterpress (Freeport, Ill.) on “Electric Red” Construction cover stock from the French Paper Co. (Niles, Mich.). The interior pages are a brand-new light-gray dot-graph pattern.
We’ve teamed up with Tattly (Brooklyn, N.Y.) to include an “Always Watching” temporary tattoo with each Fire Spotter 3-Pack so you can show that you’re keeping an eye on things.
Our recent visit to the Mountain Fire Lookout Tower in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin taught us that autumn looks pretty incredible from 93 feet up.
Check Some History on Fire Spotters and the Star of Our Film for lots more information, Even if you’re not monitoring wildfires from a cabin in the sky, you’ll find plenty of uses for these handsome made-in-the-U.S.A. dot-graph notebooks.
