I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. way back when. The timber cruisers in the logging industry of that area used that exact method of measuring trees. It works well and is pretty darned accurate.

@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch Месяц назад

I think so too. A logger would want to know how tall a tree was before cutting. A

Thank you Sir. Great way to measure!

Hope you learned something new. I'm still learning at 76. A

Good one, can't wait to try this at the Camp to impress my Wife LOL Thanks Alec

Don't mention you learned it from me, get all the glory for yourself! A

Although I appreciate your effort, I would’ve just set the measuring tape on the top of the flag and just rise the flag up. Much Easier and more precise.

@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch Месяц назад

I have no way to get a tape up there. The pole is set in concrete and been there maybe 20 years so no idea how tall it is. Thanks for the suggestion. A

@@AlecPeirceAtTheRanchmy explanation might have not been the best, but you lower the flag down by the rope attached, than you lift the flag back again with a measuring tape attached to the flag, the measuring tape will unroll while you lift up the flag, giving you a measurement very precise, except the last 2-3 inches at the very top of the pole ..

Hi Alec That is a neat trick, I wish in my math classes in school they had done real world experiments with those trig formulas then I might have paid attention. I just don't care what Y divided by X plus the square root of pi equals Z minus my shoe size. I thought you were going to sight the top with a 45 degree protractor then measure the distance to the base, I guess there is always more than one way to "skin a buck" take care Owen m

I taught high school science and the mandatory course material was not applicable to the real world. A

Have you tried an iPhone and use The Measure app uses augmented reality (AR) technology to turn your device into a tape measure? Just wondering. The math is great to show thanks

An iPhone? You mean a rotary dial party line right? Ha kidding. Thanks for the suggestion. A
