Limestone based paper
Modestone's limestone based paper is pretty neat. In comparison to Rite-in-the-rain this stuff is stronger and absolutely 100% waterproof, you can have a piece submerged for months without it taking any damage! It is also extremely resistant to wrinkling. A really neat feature is the fact that on top of the usual pens and pencils you can also use metal such as keys or bullets to write! We suggest using a pencil on these. In all honesty the only downside to Modestone paper is it's slight softness which takes some getting used to when writing with hard tipped pencils.
- 64 sheets, 128 pages
- 7 x 7 mm (0.3" x 0.3") squares
- Dimensions 183 x 118 x 9 mm (7.2" x 4.6" x 0.4")
- Under the front cover a Metric ruler, knot instructions and conversion chart between the well thought-out Metric system and the obsolete Imperial nonsense based on some Medieval war chief's big toe and nose diameter.
- Under the back cover are the morse codes and a 1:50k map ruler
If you still use the Imperial system, just use that conversion chart found in our photos.
Recycling, son!
As said before, these are made of byproduct waste of limestone mines, which means the books are a vulgar display of ecological thinking.
Made in Finland
Made in Parola, Finland. Modestone is a pretty new player in the world of waterproof papers but a prime example of Finnish innovation. Modestone notebooks are currently in law enforcement and military use in Finland, and they´re steadily gaining fame out there in the big world too.

Sivuja saa irrotettua helposti.
Kannet heikoin kohta vihkossa, hajoavat/irtoavat erittäin helposti jos kastuvat.

It fits perfectly in my cargo pocket, PC or chest rig. It sadly doesnt fit my Sarma Organizer, but that should be expected.
The paper is comfortable to write on, alcohol based markers wont seep through to the other page, and sometimes when writing too hard with a pen, it will stretch and etch the page, making a "valley"/"groove" instead of ripping it. It also features tiny holes on the "spine" side - meaning you dont need to take a knife to cut the page away.
Water resistance is on point, the ink sometimes failed sooner than the materiel itself. TEST YOUR PENS! There is no issue with pens, graphite "pencils", nor water and alcohol markers, or neon highlighters.

Each page has perforation near the spine so you can tear it out from the notebook.
It fits nicely in the back pocket of a pair of Särmä common jeans.
Some things to keep in mind:
This material does not work great with liquid inks (so fountain pens, gel/roller ball, etc) since the paper doesn't really absorb anything. It will work, but it will take time for the ink to dry. So be careful of smudges. Same for ballpoints; give the ink a few seconds to dry before rubbing your paws all over the paper.
The horizontal lines don't match up page-to-page; they start at a different point on each page. So the first line might start 2mm from the edge on page one, and 1mm from the edge on page two, and 1cm from the edge on page three. The vertical lines do match up on each page though.
