17 Flow/current Meter Flow/current Meter (WaterMark USGS Type Current Meter shown) - used to determine water velocity in streams.
18 GPS Receiver GPS Receiver (Garmin GPS III Plus shown) - utilizes orbiting satellites to determine exact latitude/longitude position. This information is used to draw maps and measure acreage as well as aiding in navigation.
19 Hand Compass Hand Compass (Suunto Locator shown) - used to navigate to known locations and to determine one s location.
20 Hand Lens/Field Microscope Hand Lens/Field Microscope (Illuminated Pocket Microscope shown) - used to help identify items in the field.
21 Hip Chain Hip Chain (Hip Chain shown) - used to measure distance by tying the end of the string to an object and walking. Distance displays in meters or feet on an odometer inside the box.
22 Hypo-Hatchet Used for precise application of herbicide to unwanted trees without adversely affecting nearby trees and vegetation. The hatchet is used to make a cut in a tree into which herbicide is injected.
23 Increment Borer Increment Borer (Suunto Increment Borer shown) - used to extract cores of wood from trees or freshly treated poles, piling, lumber, or timbers to determine growth rate, age, tree soundness and chemical penetration by drilling into the tree or material and extracting the core.
24 Log Rule Log Rule (Spring Joint Log Rule shown) - used to measure logs and determine board foot volume. The three most common log rules (ways of estimating log or tree volume) are shown on these devices.
25 LOGGER S TAPE Logger s Tape (Spencer Logger s Tape shown) - used to measure tree diameter as well as ground distance; recoils back into case when released.
26 PH METER PH Meter (YSI 60 ph Meter shown) - used to determine the ph (how acidic or basic a substance is)
27 PLANIMETER Planimeter (K&E/Haff Compensating Polar Planimeter shown) - used to determine acreage from aerial photo or map. The round part is rotated over the perimeter of the area being measured. Readings in acres are displayed.
28 PLANT PRESS Plant Press (Student Plant Presses shown) - used to flatten leaves and other plant parts for preservation as part of a collect
29 PLASTIC FLAGGIN Plastic Flagging (Plain Vinyl Stake Wire Flags shown) - used to mark utility line locations, plot corners, etc
30 Pulaski Forester Axe Pulaski Forester Axe (USFS Approved Pulaski Axe shown) Combination grub hoe/axe. Designed for chopping, grubbing, and digging fire lines in brush-filled or rocky terrain. Also is used for trail construction and maintenance.
31 RELASKOP Relaskop (Spiegel Relaskop shown) - used to measure tree height, diameter, and basal area (a measure of tree spacing); has a variety of scales.
32 SAFETY GLASSES Safety Glasses (Elvex OVR-Spec Safety Glasses shown) - protects wearer s eyes while working in conditions where airborne particles are likely.
33 SAFETY HARD HAT Safety Hard Hat (Bullard 3000 Classic Slotted Cap shown) - protects wearer s head from falling material
34 SOIL SAMPLE Soil Sampler (Soil Probe) (JMC Backsaver Soil Sampler shown) - used to remove cylindrical cores of soil to determine soil type and other soil attributes.
35 SOIL TEST KIT Soil Test Kit (LaMotte Model AM-32 Soil Test Kit shown) - used to determine soil properties such as ph and the relative abundance of various minerals.
36 STAFF COMPASS Staff Compass (Warren- Knight Forester Staff Compass shown) -used in surveying - much more accurate than a hand compass, but less accurate than GPS survey units.
37 STEREOSCOPE Stereoscope (Abrams Model CB-1 Stereoscope shown) - used to observe and measure slope on aerial photos
38 SURVEY INSTRUMENT Survey Instrument (Topcon AT-G7 Automatic Level shown) - used to determine slope
39 TALLY BOOK Tally Book (Hand-Held Tally Book shown) Use in cruising timber or in tallying lumber - height, diameter, and number of trees are recorded when cruising.
40 TALLY METER Tally Meter (U.S. Government Type Tally Counter shown) Used in cruising, tree survival checks, and other applications where items are being counted. Fits in one hand and can be reset to zero by turning one knob.
41 TREE CALIPER Tree Caliper (Wood Calipers shown) -used to measure tree diameter
