Marker pens

A permanent marker writes on more than paper — tape, packaging and equipment — and that is why it belongs in the kit rather than in the pencil case.

Three colours, one purpose

Sharpie Fine Marker is permanent and writes on most dry surfaces: paper, tape, plastic, dressing packaging and marker tags. The narrow tip keeps the writing legible even when the surface is small.

In practice, the three colours are used to keep different kinds of information apart. Black is the standard pen. Blue and red are used when something needs to stand out — a time, a deviation, a mark that needs to be found quickly by someone other than the person who wrote it.

A narrow tip, for a reason

Fine Marker has a fine tip rather than a broad one. That is the choice you make when the writing is usually short and the surface small: a time on a piece of tape, a name on a lid, a number on a casualty card. A broad tip shows up better at a distance but covers the whole line in a small field, and then the note becomes illegible — which is the same as no note at all.

Where the pen belongs

One pen in the admin pouch together with your notebook, and preferably another one somewhere else. Pens are the first thing to disappear, and a pen that has been lent out rarely comes back.

Use it to label tape and fixation, write on a casualty card or note what has been packed in a bag. The pads the pen has been chosen for are under notebooks, and other field equipment under equipment.

Frequently asked questions about marker pens

Does the pen work on tape and packaging?

Yes, it is a permanent marker designed for more surfaces than paper. It writes on tape, plastic and most dressing packaging as long as the surface is dry and free of grease. If the surface is wet the ink adheres poorly — wipe the surface first and the writing will last.

Why three colours?

To keep different kinds of information apart. Black is the working colour and is used for running notes. Blue and red are reserved for what someone else needs to find quickly, for example a time entry or a mark that deviates from the usual. The system only works if it is used consistently.

How many pens should I carry?

At least two, in two different places. The pen is the cheapest part of your equipment and the one most often missing: it gets lent out, dropped or left in a jacket. One in the admin pouch and one in the bag means the note actually gets written.
