I’m curious what other folks use as a notepad or tripping journal.
For years I used Steno pads with the flip ring at the top, but lately I’ve been using a particular side ring binder – Mead Five Star College-ruled notebooks (100 sheets, 2 pockets). The internal pocket sleeves are handy for loose material and I can usually get several trips from one notebook, especially if I don’t burn too many blank pages as lazy man fire starter.
The only issue I have with steno pads or the like is that they are not quite a stiff enough platform to write on while propped on a knee without bending awkwardly. I use 3m 77 spray to glue stiffener cardboard rectangles inside the covers. The triangular FedEx “tube” boxes are great for that, and for other purposes since one side is plastic coated.
That journal stays in the Books, Maps & Papers dry bag, and isn’t easily accessible while paddling, so I also carry slender 6x4 memo book and another pen in a Zip-lock for notes afloat.
What do other folks carry for journals or trip notes?
