Rothco Paracord Pace Counter (Ranger Beads)

Directions:

1. Determine the number of paces you take to cover 100 meters or any distance that is relatively long. It helps to do this a couple times and use the average. Each bead will represent that distance as you walk so using something like 100 meters is best.
2. After you determine the number of paces each bead represents you are ready to start land navigation. As you walk from one point to the next count the number of paces you take. When you reach the number of paces that each bead represents move one of the nine lower beads from bottom to top. 
3. After you move the ninth bead to the top (and have covered 900 meters) the next one you will move is one of the top beads from bottom to top. This will represent 1000 meters of movement. After you move a top bead reset all the lower beads back to the bottom position.
