The Ultimate Geocaching Writing Tool

I am always listening to stories of a long trek in the woods to only find the cache while not being able to sign the log because your pen is malfunctioning, the log book is wet, or the writing tool broke.  My solution and suggested purchase investement is the Zebra F-301 Ultra.

Product Description: Soft rubber Zebra grip provides the ultimate in writing comfort. Water-resistant ink won`t smear or bleed, keeping your documents safe. - [source]

Do not mix up the Zebra series of this pen.  Their is a Zebra F-301, which is not ultra, in which I have found will break in your pocket within two or three Geocache hunts.  The ultra is completely metal and will withstand the strain of a climb up a tree.

As the product description describes, it is water resistant, it will not smear or bleed making it an easy task to sign that damp or wet log book.  Be cautious though, their are several replacement ink cartridges, most of them generic and cheap, that will turn this utencil into the standard standby mistaken bank pen grab.

You will not believe what I am about to point out in regards to this gem.  I purchased the Zebra Ultra in 2002 on my first day of starting college.  It has been with me in every class and has traveled the united states since.  How can this be, college and beyond?  I am amazed myself, and a friend of this pen.
