Field Notes Night Sky Edition Giveaway

There hasn't been a more popular Field Notes release in recent memory so the least I could do is give away a couple of sets, right? The Night Sky Edition sold out extremely quickly from Field Notes but retailers like JetPens have started to get them in stock in case you missed the first go-round. Don't sleep on these either - they aren't going to last forever!

I have two 3-packs of the Night Sky Edition to give away, and for a change, I am going to open this giveaway up internationally as well. Here is how to enter:

1. Leave one comment on this post anytime between now, and Saturday night at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. You are limited to one entry. This contest is open to US and International readers.

2. For this contest, I will pick two winners at random from the comments section of this post. The comments will be numbered in the order they are received, i.e. the first comment is #1, the second #2, and so on. The Random Integer Generator at random.org will be used to pick the numbers of the winner.

3. The contest winners will be posted on Sunday, July 7th. The winners will have one week to email me via the Contact link at the top of the page to claim their prize.

Thanks and good luck!
