Ranger beads
Before GPS, ranger beads were widely used to
navigate through unknown terrain. Count the beads
off every so many paces, and you know exactly how
far you’ve walked. Simple but clever.
1 You’ll need 5ft (1.5m) of cord for the lanyard and 10ft (3m) of cord for
the beads. Fold the lanyard cord in half and tie a diamond knot leaving a
4in (10cm) loop.
