You just prefer it, a notebook won’t survive a 50ft fall into water, an iPad with an OtterBox might, even if it didn’t my notes will, I just grab another iPad.
I promise you I’ve used both, pretty sure I had to write in pencil for mine and I’m sure you can argue the minutia back and forth all day, however objectively, the iPad is a more versatile writing tool than a notebook.
I disagree with your “objective” opinion lol. The iPad you have to keep charged, can break, they overheat in sunlight especially when you put an OtterBox on them, they might get laggy with big documents. And with paper you can write with any pen/highlighter you like, you can take it anywhere. Tablets are not always the best tool.
What large documents are you keeping in that binder? Your notebook can break, if one iPad isn’t charged I grab another one, we’ve been over this, okay the battery fails; again, it’s backed up. Maybe it can overheat in the sunlight (110°f haven’t had it happen), maybe you want to keep something extra private. I don’t really see the difference between changing writing tools in an app and in person tbh, but I’m pretty sure I can take an iPad almost anywhere. A tablet can do almost anything a notebook/binder can, the same is not true in reverse.
I don’t really have infinite money for new/multiple iPads lol, neither has any habitat restoration job I’ve worked in.
I don’t need to keep large documents on hand in my notes binder. I do sometimes print them and file them in an organized filing cabinet though. It’s super fast to find whatever I’m looking for, add post-its, notes, whatever I want to them. And I can read them outside without glare.
I have had my phones overheat in sunlight regularly, just listening to podcasts. Not even that hot, like coastal California sunlight. Multiple devices, over years, it’s just something I’ve accepted that can happen when you’re working outdoors.
I already described all the advantages of paper notes. They don’t break. You don’t need to carry extra batteries around. No glare. I would not take an iPad into thick brush on a hot day, I wouldn’t even be able to see the damn screen half the time. But you do you!

No, you’re just wrong. A notebook does fine in the rain and water, there are specially designed notebooks for this.
He’s not wrong though you just disagree.
He is wrong bc he’s saying a tablet would survive the elements better
