Well folks, the time has come. A great writing utensil is only as good as the surface you\u2019re writing on, which is one of the reasons a good pocket-sized notebook is a great item to include in your everyday carry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My grandfather was a guy who would never be caught without a pen and paper in the pocket of his flannel shirt. In his case, it was usually a Papermate felt-tip and a classic black-and-white marble composition pad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for the record, I still think that particular combination will do just fine. But for these modern times, I really wanted to track down the best of the best EDC notebooks. So I bought a bunch. I tried each one. And I pulled out a few of my own all-time favorites.

Notes notepads are a bit of a clich\u00e9 at this point, but there\u2019s a reason these things are so popular. They\u2019re well-made, with durable kraft paper covers, three-staple binding and sturdy interior paper that takes ink nicely. Plus, with their<strong> crisp, minimalist look and iconic font,<\/strong> they look good in an Instagram pic of your EDC. I\u2019m not here to judge; we all do it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Field Notes book contains <strong>48 pages <\/strong>(i.e. 24 sheets), and you can get them with <strong>ruled, graph or plain <\/strong>paper. Or, better yet, you can get a mixed three-pack with one of each. Measuring <strong>3.5\u201d x 5.5\u201d, <\/strong>they fit snugly in your average breast pocket.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At around<strong> $12.95 for a three-pack,<\/strong> these aren\u2019t necessarily the best bargain out there, but they\u2019re good quality memo pads. They hold up well, and I can find nothing to complain about with them. They\u2019re even made in the good ol\u2019 U.S. of A.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id12877_aa37f5-8a >

Standard ballpoint pens work when the paper is dry, but liquid ink pens don\u2019t fare so well; the ink beads up and doesn\u2019t adhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rite in the Rain makes these notebooks in various colors and a few different sizes, but these <strong>3\u201d x 5\u201d <\/strong>booklets are just right for pocket carry. The covers are made of sturdy yet flexible<strong> Polydura plastic, <\/strong>and contain <strong>100 pages<\/strong> (50 sheets) of <strong>wood-based waterproof paper. <\/strong>Wire-O binding holds it all together.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id12877_0548ff-5a > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id12877_0548ff-5a >

going to even try to pronounce this brand name, but LEUCHTTURM makes some top-notch notebooks. <strong>Designed in Germany and made in China,<\/strong> these notebooks feature durable soft covers, with<strong> 123 pages <\/strong>of thin yet high-quality paper that takes ink beautifully and with minimal bleed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of cool features that make these notebooks stand out.<strong> Each page is numbered, <\/strong>making it easy to refer back to your old notes, and the notebook features two <strong>ribbon page markers, <\/strong>an <strong>elastic closure band <\/strong>and an<strong> expandable pocket<\/strong> inside the back cover for holding stray notes and scraps. It\u2019s thread-bound, which holds the notebook together nicely, and also allows it to be opened flat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LEUCHTTURM1917 notebooks are available in various cover colors and paper types<em> (plain, ruled, dotted, graph) <\/em>and sizes. The A6 pocket size is ideal for carrying in an inside jacket pocket, measuring about <strong>3.5\u201d x 5.9\u201d<\/strong>. At about <strong>$15 <\/strong>for a single notebook, it\u2019s not cheap, but it\u2019s a fair price for a quality

paper.<\/strong> It\u2019s small dimensions make it easy to carry in any pocket, even the hip pocket of your jeans, though its ample supply of paper makes it thicker than many EDC notebooks. The paper itself is smooth and extra-bright white.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are simple and well-designed little pads, and they typically cost <strong>$5 to $ 7 <\/strong>apiece, which is not a bad deal.

A six-pack of<strong> 3\u201d x 5\u201d 64-page <\/strong>Portage notebooks costs less than a three-pack of similar Field Notes books, making these a serious value buy. And they\u2019re good quality too. The <strong>covers are sturdy kraft paper, and the interior pages are crisp<\/strong> and easy to write on. Expect a little bleed with fountain pens or wetter rollerball pens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to that \u201cother brand\u201d that Portage notebooks are so easily compared to, these are available with either b<strong>lank, dotted, graph or ruled paper.<\/strong> They\u2019re held together with three staples along the spine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id12877_399672-88 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id12877_399672-88 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id12877_399672-88 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id12877_399672-88 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id12877_399672-88 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id12877_399672-88 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id12877_399672-88 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column12877_0f383b-2b > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column12877_0f383b-2b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column12877_0f383b-2b > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column12877_0f383b-2b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column12877_0f383b-2b > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column12877_0f383b-2b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column12877_0f383b-2b{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column12877_0f383b-2b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column12877_0f383b-2b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column12877_0f383b-2b\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elan Field Book &#8211;

Ultimately, their only downside is their size. They\u2019re great for carrying in your backpack, but a little big for pocket carry. They\u2019ll fit a typical rear jeans pocket, but not without sticking out quite a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, I still consider these to be excellent EDC notebooks, especially for the outdoors. Elan Field Books feature<strong> cotton-based, high-quality water-resistant paper<\/strong> that holds most ink and pencil marks in wet conditions, and doesn\u2019t fall apart when exposed to water. The soft covers and square binding are exceptionally durable, and the <strong>high-visibility red or yellow covers<\/strong> make them easy to spot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they were originally designed for land surveyors, Elan Field Notebooks have distinct <strong>ledger-ruled <\/strong>paper. It may take some getting used to, but actually maximizes the writing surface very effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id12877_2245d4-27 >

Its stout<strong> 3\u201d x 4\u201d <\/strong>dimensions make it easily pocketable, though it\u2019s also over half an inch thick thanks to its ample supply <strong>(80 sheets\/160 pages)<\/strong> of thick, sturdy <strong>74 lb.<\/strong> paper stock. It\u2019s square-bound, with sewn binding and thick covers, and includes a<strong> ribbon page marker, elastic closure band and accordion interior pocket.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like to doodle or sketch while you\u2019re backpacking or taking the train to work, this is a great option, and also attractively priced at less than <strong>$8. <\/strong>Pentalic also makes these in several

cool set that comes with a <strong>50-page<\/strong> lined notepad fitted into a black notebook holder, complete with a pen that slips into its own designated elastic loop. Eight 30-page replacement notepads are also included.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The notebook holder, while not waterproof, does provide some protection for the paper inside, and fits snugly into a back pocket or shirt breast pocket. A couple of <strong>slots inside the holder <\/strong>can also be used to hold credit cards or IDs, so you could even use this as a wallet if you were so inclined.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the holder is what really makes this set stand out. The pen is a run-of-the-mill ballpoint, and the <strong>3\u201d x 5\u201d n<\/strong>otepads are filled with some pretty basic paper. But they\u2019ll last you a while, and when you\u2019re done, you can replace them with the pen and notebooks of your choice and have a nice little set. And considering this whole package costs just south of<strong> $8, <\/strong>it\u2019s not a bad buy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding Your Perfect EDC Notebook: A Guide to Making the Right Choice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the digital age, the charm of pen and paper still holds a special place. An EDC notebook is not just a tool, but an extension of your mind, a place where your thoughts, ideas, and inspirations find a physical form. Choosing the right one can significantly enhance your productivity and creativity. Here are some key aspects to consider when picking the perfect EDC notebook for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Purpose and Usage<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the primary purpose of your notebook is the first step. Are you a writer jotting down story ideas, a student taking notes, or an artist sketching fleeting moments? Your profession or hobby can significantly influence the type of notebook you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Size and Portability<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>An EDC notebook should be easy to carry around. Depending on your preference, you might opt for a pocket-sized notebook that can easily fit into your back pocket or a slightly larger one to have more space for your thoughts and sketches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Paper Quality<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of the paper matters immensely, especially if you are keen on using a variety of writing instruments. Consider the thickness and texture of the paper &#8211; it should suit your preferred pens without bleeding through or feathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Binding and Durability<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A good EDC notebook should be able to withstand daily wear and tear. Whether it&#8217;s spiral-bound, stitched, or glued, the binding should be robust, allowing the notebook to lie flat easily, and the pages should remain secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Layout and Design<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Notebooks come with various layouts &#8211; lined, dotted, grid, or blank. Your choice depends on the kind of work you intend to do. For instance, a grid layout might be beneficial for designers or architects, while blank pages offer a canvas for artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Additional Features<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern notebooks come equipped with various features like elastic closures, bookmarks, and pockets for storing loose notes or business cards. Depending on your needs, these additions can enhance your notebook experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>Personal Connection<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, your notebook should resonate with you on a personal level. The texture of the cover, the color, and even the weight can influence your connection with the notebook. Choose one that feels like a companion, a confidant that holds your secrets and ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why a Old-School Notepad?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In a world that&#8217;s always buzzing, a little notepad serves as a personal sanctuary. It&#8217;s a space where you can disconnect from the digital chaos and connect with your thoughts at a deeper level. It encourages you to slow down, reflect, and observe the world with a fresh perspective.

However, a popular choice tends to be pocket-sized notebooks, which usually measure around 3.5 x 5.5 inches. This size is compact enough to fit in most pockets or bags, making it convenient to carry around wherever you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a brief guide to help you choose the best size:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pocket-Sized (3.5 x 5.5 inches)<\/strong>: Ideal for jotting down quick notes, reminders, or sketches. It&#8217;s perfect for people who are always on the move and need something handy to capture thoughts or ideas spontaneously.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medium (5 x 8.25 inches)<\/strong>: This size offers a bit more space for detailed notes, journal entries, or sketches. It&#8217;s still portable but provides a larger canvas for your thoughts and creations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large (7.5 x 10 inches)<\/strong>: Suitable for those who prefer to have ample space to write or draw without the constraints of smaller pages. It might be a bit bulky for everyday carry, but it&#8217;s great for comprehensive note-taking or sketching.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, the &#8220;best&#8221; size is subjective and depends on your personal needs and how you plan to use your notebook.
