"It is amazing how much this little pouch can hold. Just like Doctor Who's Tardis, it is 'bigger on the inside.' It is obviously well made and purposefully designed."

— Jeff M., Mini Venture Pouch

"Ruggedness, storage and versatility pretty much sums up this journal. If you're looking to maximize and only bring 1 journal everywhere, this is it.”

— Manuel R., Voyager Journal

“It holds a surprising amount while remaining nicely compact. The canvas, while sturdy, is soft and pliable — I'm confident I'll get many years of use from it.”

    amazing!

    this thing is a work of art. its so nice to hold and use. and just love the canvas. future iterations id love to see pen loops on the inside left panel just to hold a few pens/pencils and more pockets on the inside right panel.

    I made a few homemade travel notebook inserts that fit it beautifully. absolutely amazed at the material and work put into this.

    The Pocket-Filled Challenger to the TN Throne

    Wait—we didn’t compare the Voyager to the TN? If you own both, you're already rolling your eyes. You know exactly where this is going. The Voyager is the bold overachiever, the rugged multitasker, the caffeinated Swiss Army knife of travel folios. It's trying to do it all: hold your notes, your stickers, your trinkets, your existential dread—whatever you need on the go.

    Now, about the pockets. Oh, the pockets. Six of them. Five inside, one chilling on the back like a rebellious teen refusing to be left out. And no, these aren’t "shove your entire kitchen drawer in here" pockets—that’s what the Venture Pouch is for, obviously. These are strategic, calculated, Goldilocks-level pockets. Just right.

    As someone who owns what is basically the entire Lochby catalogue—Pocket, Mini, Field, Venture, Tool Roll, Quattro—my first thought was, “Where does this one even fit in?” I mean, I already Frankensteined my TN into some kind of hybrid planner-journal-wallet-therapy session. But then I had a thought... what if the Voyager is the all-in-one I didn’t know I was waiting for? Could it dethrone the TN?

    Only one way to find out. Click. Buy. Wait. Unbox.

    First impressions? The Bumblebee colorway with that honeycomb interior is sweet—but not in a saccharine way. It looks like it could survive a fall off a cliff, or at least a very angry commuter train. It’s sturdy, unapologetically tough, and definitely not fitting in your back pocket unless your jeans were tailored by a…

    From TN to Voyager

    This has finally ticked all the boxes for me!

    Ruggedness, storage and versatility pretty much sums up this journal. It holds all my inserts comfortably without the need for rubber bands like a TN cover. Don't get me wrong TNs have a place but if your looking to maximize and only bring 1 journal everywhere this is it! I use mine for planning, todos/ notes, journaling and sketching all in one neat package!

    5 Months of Use and Still Going Strong!

    It’s been a little over 5 months now since I’ve purchased the Voyager Travelers Journal, and I must say, I still do not regret it one bit. Initially I was hesitant on the size since it was something entirely different, but it’s been a heap of joy to just work out of. It’s my on the go traveling office where I don’t feel bogged down with lacking space to think and create. I’ve recommended this particular product, and others like it to my friends at work and they’re excited to eventually get ahold of their own. I look forward to gifting myself the B5 Field Folio someday for a bigger work space for bigger projects and such. But hats off to Lochby and thanks again for creating such a well thought out product. 10/10 would purchase again.

    This is great to hear especially after several months of use! Really nice to know the Voyager Journal has settled into a reliable mobile workspace for you, exactly as intended. We really appreciate you sharing it with others too, and it’s great to hear you’re already thinking about how your setup might grow in the future. Thanks so much for your support and kind words, it means so much to us!

Any questions?

What's in the Outdoorsman Dad Kit?

The kit includes the Voyager Journal, a TN-size field journal in water-resistant waxed canvas with a pen loop, card pockets, and an aluminum hook closure. The Venture Pouch is a dual-sided zippered organizer — elastic loops on one side, divided pockets on the other — with D-rings for strap attachment. The Mini Venture Pouch is the compact version: same dual-sided layout, fits any pack pocket or clips to a belt loop. All three are waxed canvas with honeycomb ripstop nylon interiors.

Who is this kit for?

The dad with a permanent go-bag in his truck. Fisherman, hunter, camper, weekender, ex-military, or just a guy who refuses to be unprepared.

Is the waxed canvas actually waterproof?

Water-resistant. Light rain, splashes, and dew bead off the canvas. It's not meant to be submerged. The interior is ripstop nylon, so even if water gets through, the contents stay protected from snags and abrasion.

What can the Venture Pouch and Mini Venture Pouch actually hold?

Customers use the Venture Pouch for trail tools, fishing gear, fire-starting kits, EDC items— anything that needs to be grabbed fast without digging. The Mini VP handles the smaller stuff: a multitool, a lighter, a few pens, loose items that usually rattle around the bottom of the pack. The elastic loops on both keep things upright and visible. The divided pockets separate tools from writing gear cleanly.
