Also called "pace beads," "SAS beads," and other names.
Beads put on a string that are held in place by friction, and can only be moved when slid up or down the string purposefully by the user.
These have been used for centuries, now they are used by militaries and mountaineers to judge the distance they have hiked.
*How to use*
You have two sections, an "upper" section with 6 beads, and a "lower" section with 7 beads.
You count roughly 60-70 paces, however many paces it takes for you to go 110 meters. Every 60-70 paces, drag a bead down from the lower section. Every lower bead represents 110 yards, or 1/16 of a mile, hiked.
Every upper bead represents 880 yards, or 1/2 a mile.
When you've brought down every lower bead and reach up to bring down the non-existent 8th bead, bring down an upper bead, and reset the lower beads. Start all this over.
You can judge distance hiked over a flat surface to about a 10% error ratio. Remember if you're hiking over hills or something it'll mess this up.

Get the raggedy ann doll mug.Ranger - When you see someone attractive from a distance (a range away, farther than 12 ft) but as the distance between you and the "attractive" person closes, their features become more apparent to be less attractive than you originally was sure of. Or if you rather - they get ugly up close.

Get the rookie rager mug.A group of enlightened people who are extremely retarded and know it. Their main goal is to convert all people in the world to a Retard Ranger, and will do so by slapping the selected person on the back of the head. If you wish to be a Retard Ranger, then simply shout "I seek an audience with our superiors!", and if there is a Retard Ranger who has heard you, they will WALK over and slap you. Not run, walk. If there are no Retard Rangers in the immediate vicinity and you wish to become a Retard Ranger, then simply grasp a twig between your thumb and ring finger, and throw it as far as you can while screaming "ACK!". This will activate your RNA(RetardiryboNucleic Acid), and transform you into a Retard Ranger. The safe word among Retard Rangers is "Hebbo!", and while saying this you should run the back of your hand across your forehead. This allows other Retard Rangers to recognize you and your status in society, and they will automatically flock to be with you. If you happen to initiate a Retard Ranger, tell the aforementioned new recruit to look up "Retard Ranger" on Urban Dictionary if they Haven't already.
*Being a Retard Ranger has nothing to do with intelligence or state of mind*
