Rite in the Rain collaborated with Fisher Space Pen Co. to design a pen with an ink formulation to work well with their paper and in wet conditions. So, you're partially correct.
I'm sure the source paper for RITR is Xerox NeverTear. It was developed for the military over 25 years ago and I got a box of whole blank sheets from a rep back then. Brilliant stuff. Originally it was just called polyester paper but is now marketed as NeverTear. I've printed on it and run abrasion tests and it resists extremely well. You can also deep freeze it while wet for weeks and it'll just shrug off the ice. Assuming it's the stuff, you need RITR/XNT for the outdoors.
With my hobby of Geocaching, I've came across several logsheets made with this stuff. It works fantastic in caches that may not have been made to be waterproof. Tough stuff! I too use a Fisher. Damn! Best pen ever made!
Nice vid Roz think I'm going to take a leaf from your book which in this case is a RITR and write down my walks travels etc.I like you are big into my hiking and really just being outdoors. Living in a little village on the edge of Dartmoor Devon England it rains a lot here (raining at the moment) this note book will I'm sure come in handy.
I really like the review you did on the EDC pouch! I think I will buy one and find a nice RITR to go in it.
Argh, so true! No diss intended. Just representative of the "regular" stuff we all have and use (and really the first notebook I found laying around the house).
Just tore a piece of RITR for ya and it tears nice and tight and straight. Thx guys!
I hope you dont drop your new camera in the pond!! DOH! LOL!

I love my Fisher too. Geocaching is a perfect application for this stuff.

More good stuff from the 'Jersey GIrl" I picked up some RITR pads a few weeks ago and added them to my EDC & GHB.
Keep the good stuff coming!!
