RedVex Ranger Style pace counters are handmade from 550 lb specification paracord for strength and durability, so yours will not break on you in time of need. This one is Desert Camo, approximately 13" in total length, with a durable ABS plastic clip. The beads are the recently upgraded style that better resists color wearing and fading. Heavy duty, stylish and inconspicuous — easy to use, easy to carry, easy to conceal.
How to use your pace beads: Ranger pace counting beads are a simple way to measure distances traveled by foot, particularly at night when visibility can be an issue. There are two ways to use them, and both require knowing the relationship between your paces and the distance traveled.
Counting paces: Slide one bead for every ten paces taken. On the 100th pace, return all nine beads in the lower section away from the knot and slide one bead from the upper section up. To use this method you must know the length of your pace (example: 2,112 paces = one mile, based on a 30 inch pace).
Distance walked: For every 100 meters/yards walked, slide one of the lower beads down. After 900, all nine lower beads are down; on the 1,000th meter/yard, slide one upper bead up and reset the lower section — tracking up to 5,000 meters/yards in the upper section and 900 in the lower.
