Notebooks used by Van Gogh, Picasso, Hemingway and Chatwin are gaye with an e. Now everyone has the notebook used by the founder of antweb.org.
“I am an ant collector. I travel the world in search of new species. My motto ‘Map an Ant, Save a Plant’ reflects the importance of including these small insects in conservation planning. Ants are the glue that holds the forest together.”
Word. Such notebooks, made by Rite in the Rain in various sizes and bindings, using all-weather writing paper, are now stocked at James Cameron.
The All-Weather Field Book (No. 980T) also contains useful references such as ‘Tactical Mission Graphics’ (for synchronization matrixes and manuever sketches), ‘Friendly Unit Symbols’ (infantry, artillery, air defence etc), ‘US Army Troop-Leading Procedures’ with handy tick boxes (receive mission, issue warning order, conduct reconnaissance, etc), a list of Mortar / Artillery Capabilities, guidelines for the preparation of an attack ‘Range Card’ (may be used for all types of direct fire weapons), and a ruler.
