Versatile
Also great for exercise training to keep track of workout sets, counting golf strokes, running laps...basically any activity where you need to keep a count.
Pacing beads are used as a manual counting tool used to keep track of distance traveled through a pace (step) counting process.
The method relies on a very basic and ancient counting method similar to an abacus.
When paired with a compass and map, this tool can be a valuable and reliable navigational process while Camping, Hiking, Hunting, Fishing, Geocaching, etc. The set attaches to a belt or backpack D-rings or Molle straps using a simple hardware-free loop. Each set features 13 beads (4-upper, 9-lower) strung onto a nylon cord which will allow you to track up to 5 kilometers of travel distance.
The process is very easy to learn, and we've even included easy-to-follow instructions to help get you started.
These days it's easy to simply rely on GPS technology, but what happens when that tech isn't available? Basic navigational skills can make a difference when all else fails.

Well made works good. I took the time and made my own set then bought these and mine work fine but for the time and work it's easier to buy this pair as well as they are made and you are good to go.
