56. Notebooks and Paper for the Field, with Rite in the Rain's Sean Leacy

When you head to the field with your notebook and pen in your hand–to either record the natural world or your thoughts while there–you want materials that will hold up to a wicked squall, a blizzard, or any combination of dirt, dung, misplaced hooves and paws, and even spilled coffee.Today we have the opportunity to talk with Sean Leacy about the ethos of the Rite in the Rain brand, the history of its parent organization, the JL Darling Company, what the Rite in the Rain factory is like, and what makes their paper and products unique and widely used. Whether you send these notebooks through the wash, or leave them stuck in the muck of a marsh for a year, you can count on them to hold their information.
