FORESTRY EQUIPMENT

HIP CHAIN:

Excellent for preliminary surveying, stakeout, distance verification, sampling grid layout, reconnaissance, timber cruising and mapping. Just tie the line to a tree or other object and set the meter to zero. As you walk, the meter measures and indicates the length of the line pulled out giving you the distance you have traveled. Your hands are free for other tasks. After use, simply break the line, reset the counter, and you are ready to measure again. Housing is highly visible, impact-resistant red box. Weight 450 g. Measures in meters and 1/10ths.
