Review on Pre-Sharpened Ticonderoga #2 Pencils With Soft Lead, Yellow Barrel, Box Of 12 by Tracy Graham

A pencil is a pencil. But the HARD lead pencil offers many advantages, particularly to an outdoorsman. Ballpoint and soft pencil writing gets washed off and blurred when wet, but the #3 pencil imprint stays put. Imagine leaving a note on the path describing where you are going and rescue folks can't read it because the paper got wet. Also #3 pencils do not have to be sharpened as often and last longer. Old school product, but I still use them and carry them hunting, camping and hiking. Even a stub of one can write. Wouldn't happen often but a pencil could save your life in the mountains.
