The Field Notes

Not a survival manual. Not just a photo book. The Field Notes is a beginner friendly field guide built on real stories, tested gear, and practical tips that actually work. The book is guided by clickable and entertaining field videos, turning every chapter into something you can watch and learn from. You will see how to camp smarter, build a blackout kit, charge off grid, use a compass, pick your first knife, and feel safe out there. The stories bring the entertainment, the videos deliver the lessons, and together they give you the confidence to get going. Much of the photography and video work you see across this website is featured inside, but The Field Notes goes far beyond that. It is a preview of our wider world of content, combining field tested experiences, cinematic visuals, and practical guides in one project. Created by filmmaker and close protection operative Frank van Rooijen, the book reflects the same approach that drives our productions: learning by doing, working in the field, and embracing the moments that don’t go perfectly. That honesty makes it practical, entertaining, and real. How it works Press Buy Now to pay with secure checkout. You will receive your digital book instantly by email.
