Nomad Adventure Journal Waterproof Paper Series

Nomad Adventure Journals makes writing tablets for recording outdoor adventures. They recently introduced a waterproof paper series. These small notepads measure 3" X 5" and slip easily into a loaded pack. The paper and protective cover are made from post consumer recycled plastic. The journal sells for $8.95 a piece. At first glance, this is a bit steep for a notepad, but if you've ever had a few days work ruined by the elements, you'll appreciate that price.

Nomad makes a journal for river running and for hiking that have predefined fields. For instance, the river running notepad has a space for river/water body, class, and put in/take out info; and the hiking notepad has a space for GPS coordinates, trail locations, and pack contents. These journals come in handy if you like to write things down while you're out at play.

Underwater Test

Here's an underwater view of the Waterproof Nomad Adventure Journal. I wrote the word "TEST" prior to submerging the journal, with a standard ball point pen. After I pulled the notepad out of the water, the ink did not smear. These are not intended to be submerged, but I wanted to see what would happen. The journal held up great; however it took over 24 hours for the journal to dry out and I had to dry out each page individually.

On The Trail

I really like how compact these journal are. You can stash them in your pack with no worries. For those who feel inspired to write while they're experiencing the outdoors, the Waterproof Nomad Adventure Journal is for you.
