An outdoor notebook has to cope with wet weather. That is why you will find books with all-weather paper here. You simply write on them, even in the rain. Your notes stay easy to read, even when damp. So you can record ideas and sightings wherever you are.
Why a notebook with all-weather paper
Normal paper soon goes limp in the rain. All-weather paper, however, stays firm and easy to read. That makes these books great for camping, hiking and bushcraft. They also come in handy for fieldwork. The cover is sturdy, so it keeps the pages safe. Besides, the size is compact. It therefore fits in your coat pocket or in a bag.
Which book suits you
First, you choose the size. A small book is easy to take along. A larger one gives more room per page. Do you carry it every day? Then pick a small size. Do you often work at a table? In that case a larger page is nice. Next, you choose the binding. Some books have a spiral. Others have staples. There are also books that come with a pencil. That way you can always start writing right away.
