Military environments are unpredictable, and you will end up having to face all different kinds of conditions throughout your military career. Rain, snow, heat, mud, sand and sweat will all quickly destroy a standard notebook, but this is where a waterproof notebook steps in. In this blog, we’ll take a look at the key reasons that you need to have a waterproof notebook in the military.
Your Notes Are Safe In Any Weather
One of the biggest draws for a waterproof notebook is the fact that you can make use of it in all conditions, from heavy downpours to intense snowfall to hot tropical climates. Where a standard notebook will draw in moisture and quickly fall apart when exposed to the elements, a Rite in the Rain notebook is 100% waterproof, repelling moisture and remaining fully intact even when fully submerged.
Great Way To Protect Critical Information From The Elements
The immense benefits of a 100% waterproof notebook are bolstered further by the exceptional durability that Rite in the Rain paper has as well. One of the best parts of the waterproofing treatment that this paper uses is that it makes the paper extraordinarily tough. The sheets are highly resistant to tears and abrasions, ensuring that your notes can withstand the harshest environments without issue.
Built To Withstand Harsh Military Environments
It’s not just the paper that makes our waterproof notebook collection so useful - the other elements are pulling their weight too. They feature a PolyDura plastic cover made entirely from post-consumer waste, which is immensely tough and does a fantastic job of adding further protection to your notes. Depending on exactly which notebook you get, the binding will either use a rust-resistant wire-o spiral or a powerful weatherproof glue.
Makes A Great Tool In Training Exercises
Navigation exercises, lesson planning, fieldcraft and more all stand to majorly benefit from having a waterproof notebook to hand. There’s plenty of applications for these handy bits of kit in the field, and the last thing you want is to get halfway through a multi-day training stint only for your notebook to end up totally ruined.
Keeping Track Of Key Information Is Critical In All Sorts Of Situations
Recording accurate information on the go is immensely important in all sorts of different situations, especially in a military setting. Situations such as medical incidents, equipment failure, search and rescue, disaster relief and more will need you to be able to keep track of specific and accurate information. Patient details, coordinates, timings and details for reports will all need to be taken down on-site.
Compatible With The Demands Of Military Kit
A Rite in the Rain notebook is perfectly suited to working seamlessly with the rest of your military kit. Size and weight are key considerations whenever you’re choosing to bring anything along with you on a military operation. A Rite in the Rain Tactical Memo Book comes in at only 3.5" x 5" in dimensions and is flexible, allowing you to store it in your pocket or a top flap on a dysac if needs be. It’s compact, easy to use and has all the same brilliant waterproofing and durability you want in a waterproof notebook.
Saves Money In The Long Term
While a waterproof notebook is certainly a more expensive option than a standard one, if you’re in a military role it’s likely that you’ll get far more mileage and value out of a Rite in the Rain notebook. The longer lifespan, enhanced durability and added flexibility of a waterproof option bring far greater value long-term. If you need something that doesn’t need frequent replacing and isn’t easily damaged or destroyed, then you need a waterproof notebook.
