How to use ranger beads
What are Ranger beads and how do I use them?
At Wildlife Adventures Outfitter & Guide Service, we're passionate about the outdoors and we want to share that passion with you. We love to help others learn new ways to be confident in the wilderness. Ranger beads will aid you with navigation.
Step 1 - Pace Count
Determine Your Pace Count
How many steps do you take in 100 feet
- Measure out 100 feet
- Walk normally and count each time your left foot steps
- This is your pace count.
The average count is 20-25 steps to give you an idea of what your number may be.
Step 2 -Using Beads
Start Walking!
- Simply count off your pace count
- Pull down one of the lower beads.
- Repeat until you have pulled all lower beads down. Each bead represents 100 feet.
- When all the lower beads are slid down, the next set of steps you will slide down a top bead AND raise all lower beads back up.
Repeat this process to track how far you have walked.
One complete use of the beads will track 5000 feet, but you can reset and continue using them.
1 mile = 5280 feet
