I do use the same paper-roll method during major shower maxima too. The point
is, I have it in my sleeping bag, and it can't get wet there. I am always afraid
of malfunctions of a tape recorder, like batteries being low (in cold areas
very likely), wrong button pressed, tape full... So I have not switched to tape
recording yet. I have never encountered any problem with the paper roll.
Keeping in line is easy when you fold the written paper (say 1/2 inch wide),
producing a second, flattened roll above the source roll.
