{"product_id":"ranger-beads-super-glow","title":"Pace Count Beads for Orienteering and Land Navigation - Phosphorescent \"Super Glow\" Beads","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePace counters, or \"army ranger beads\" have been long used by the military as a manual counting tool used to keep track of distance traveled through a pace (step) counting process. The principal dates back to the Roman empire, and relies on a very basic and counting method similar to an abacus. This tool, when paired with a compass and map can be a valuable and reliable navigational process while Camping, Hiking, Hunting, Fishing, Geocaching, etc.  The set attaches to a belt or a backpacks D-rings or Molle straps using a simple hardware free loop. They weigh only 3\/10 of an ounce, measure 11-1\/2\" long, and include 13 beads which will allow you to track up to 5 kilometers.  Using it is very easy to learn, and we've even included easy to follow instructions. We hand make these here in the USA using domestically produced cord and beads.  These days it's easy to simply rely on GPS technology, but what happens when that tech isn't available? Basic navigational skills like this and others that our ancestors used can make the difference when all else fails. They can be used for any other activity that requires keeping a count such as \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003egolf strokes workout reps, track laps, etc\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSIMPLE - Process is easy to learn and teach, and doesn't rely on anything beyond your ability to walk and count your steps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVERSATILE - Can be used for any activities that require keeping a count...golf strokes workout reps, track laps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRELIABLE - Requires no batteries, external power or technology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePHOSPHORESCENT BEADS- \"Glow-in-the-Dark\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUSA MADE - Hand tied right here in the Pacific Northwest\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe stand by all of our products with a no-hassle guarantee; if you're not satisfied for any reason we'll make it right. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight:  .3 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e 11-1\/2\" Long\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBead Material: Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBead Color: Super Glow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBead Diameter: 11mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCord Color Options: OD Green, Black, Hi-Viz Orange\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage Contents: (1) Assembled pace bead set, (1) Printed user guide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: CB-202073\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coopers Bay Outdoors","offers":[{"title":"Hi-Viz Orange","offer_id":42727090585781,"sku":"CB-202073.HVO","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OD Green","offer_id":43132754624693,"sku":"CB-202073.ODG","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":42727090258101,"sku":"CB-202073.BLK","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0398\/3019\/2292\/files\/CGBT_Main_HVO_2k.jpg?v=1779544852","url":"https:\/\/coopersbay.com\/products\/ranger-beads-super-glow","provider":"Coopers Bay Outdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
