Ranger beads

These beads are used for counting paces. Start with all the beads on top. (There are 9 on top and 4 on the bottom.) Start walking with the left foot and every other time the right foot strikes, slide a yellow bead down. When there are no yellow beads left, the next time, slide the yellow beads up and an orange bead down.

Each count would be 4 times your pace for 1 step. In my case, it's 10 feet.

So this picture shows I've gone 230 paces or 230 feet.

Each person will have to calibrate them with a known distance.





Here is a great video on making them. There are a couple tricks, so it's worth watching.
