NOTEBOOKS
Being able to take notes without needing a mobile phone, tablet, or computer is very important. A handwritten note is more permanent, and there's no risk of it disappearing because your phone breaks or your computer crashes. If you're often out in nature, it's wise to carry a good notebook – preferably one that can withstand the elements without being ruined by moisture. The choice of pen, however, is very important – using a pen from Fisher Space Pen is a wise choice as the ink is permanent!
What are the advantages of a notebook?
The advantages of having a notebook in your EDC are countless; here are a few we think are worth mentioning:
- Leave a message at a meeting point you had to leave
- Give someone instructions that are important not to forget – like directions or a code
- Sketch ideas, memories, and observations that are not so easy to draw on a phone
