yeah, that would be pretty cool to have.

I have one of these. Pretty convenient for measuring longer distances, but NOT on a map.

For maps, I've used one of the flexible rulers.

For 20 bucks, I think I'm gonna' get a Brunton.

Interesting. Looks smarter them me though..

While those are pretty handy, you can do the same thing with a piece of string and a ruler. If you don't have a ruler then use a $1 dollar bill. It's six inches long. Fold it if you need shorter measurements.

You do realize that your telling Ken to think, rather than buy another gadget, that will keep him from needing to.:innocent:

[Rick]

Well, I figured he should know what six inches looks like for cryin' out loud. That's his shoe size.

Oh...and Ken, $50's and $100's are the same length.:innocent: LOL

[Rick]

Well I swan. They actually make those?!

[2dumb2kwit]

Well I swan. They actually make those?!

Some single friends of mine, have shown them to me.:tongue_smilie: LOL

[Rick]

Well, Ken would know about that. He's one of those highfalutin' lawyers.

Well by that standard you probably own a whole whack of gadgets, hey 2d?

[Rick]

Oh, that right there was a zinger. I heard it go over. It was pretty loud, too.

My problem, is trying to remember where I put 'em all.:innocent:
