Sure. No real dexterity is needed.
The wetnotes go in the small pocket on the right leg. Nothing else
is in that pocket, so you don't have to worry about loosing anything.
If you want, you can start with the wetnotes opened so that
the compass is on one side and a blank page on the other.
The standard wetnotes have width and height dimensions similar to a VCR
tape, so you should be able to hold onto that with heavy or mitts.
You can always shove them back into your pocket if you need both hands.
