Or maybe just a pencil? As long as you've got a knife, you can sharpen it. If you don't need a pencil, use it for kindling! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Pete,

I believe the refills are made by Fisher.

Good idea. I wrote on some regular paper and then soaked it for about 10 minutes. I had to rub pretty hard to get it to begin to run, so I think it will be ok. I have Rite-in-the Rain paper in my kit so maybe I will try it with that just to be sure. The pen core sure saves a lot of space over the pencil.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

They do seem like the logical choice to make such a refill; but, I never knew. Thanks for the info!

Yes, Fisher makes refills... Most Staples or Office Depots carry them.

Me, I just use an original Fisher Space "bullet" pen in my PSK.

Pencils are great, the cheapest way to get a pencil fit for a PSK, go by IKEA and grab a bunch. At least here in Sweden they have small containers around the store with free pencils. About 7 cms long will do in most cases.

I use a piece of thick pencil lead about one inch long, I took a normal pencil and stripped the wood off. Normal pencil (No. 2 or HB) lead is too brittle and can snap very easily. The harder types of lead are better. The amount of space it takes up is very small.
