I know a little about wet conditions living in the pacific northwest. The drizzle seems to never end and the sunny days are few and far between. So you might say that I have a lot of experience when it comes to living in a wet environment. I forgot to keep this in mind when I decided to join the army and wanted to keep a journal of my daily life. (You can check it out by clicking on the "My Army Experience" link to the right). When I set out to do this, I took the usual supplies...lots of notepads and plenty of pens. Everything worked fine until we started doing FTXs (Field Training Exercises). I decided to buy a notepad from the folks at "Rite in the Rain" and it turned out to be freakin' awesome! You can purchase the notepad and just use a pencil, but I went with the whole package and purchased their pen as well.
For my use, their products worked great. I used them in the field for writing my journal every night, and I also used them to make notes when needed for whatever training we happened to be doing. While other folks had a lot of issues when it rained...I had no problems! I also read the reviews on the amazon site and people have found other great uses for these products as well. One of the more interesting was a guy who in a pinch used the paper from a notepad and made a funnel. This would not have worked with just normal paper. If you're planning on going on an FTX, camping, or just enjoy the outdoors, plan on taking some of these products with you!!
