Pace Count Beads for Orienteering and Land Navigation, Workout Reps, Etc.
Pace counters, or "army ranger beads," have long been utilized by military personnel as a reliable, manual counting tool for tracking distance traveled by counting paces (steps). This age-old method dates back to the Roman Empire and operates similarly to an abacus, using simple counting to monitor distance. When combined with a compass and map, this tool becomes a crucial navigational aid in activities such as camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, and geocaching.
Key Features:
- SIMPLE: The process is easy to learn and teach, requiring only the ability to walk and count steps.
- RELIABLE: No need for batteries, external power, or technology. A highly dependable tool when modern GPS technology isn’t available.
- DURABLE: Made from U.S.-produced nylon cordage and non-toxic polystyrene plastic beads.
- USA MADE: Hand-tied right here in the Pacific Northwest, ensuring quality craftsmanship.
How It Works:
The set consists of 13 beads, traditionally with 9 beads on the bottom and 4 on the top. Each bead represents 100 meters, allowing the user to track distances up to 5 kilometers. After every 100 paces (approximately 100 meters, depending on your stride), you slide one of the beads, giving you a reliable method to measure distance in outdoor activities.
