Note, black & white screen, no touch screen, no firmware, no batteries but it does tie into an RTN which absolutely 100% free!
It does work better if I take off my vest which is loaded with various metal items such as paint cans.
On the right is Jackson Demonstration State Forest.
On the left is the Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco (Camp Mendocino).
Sure - you're out playing in the woods with your new toy; meanwhile, based on the photograph, you're wife is left at home to deal with a three legged dining room table
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
😀
What's the problem? Just stack up some books under that corners.
3 legged table
When I turned 18 my father cut off my corner of the table as a hint that it was time to leave the house.
I figured I had to stay to hold up my corner of the table!

3 legged table
We are running between boundary monuments that are part of a Record of Survey filed in 1970.
3 legged table
Dave,
That brings back memories...stiff pin...stake every 1+00...13 and some change...
Compass man...head chainman...tail chainman...
measure the miss...miss/13+xx...times 100...Compass man does the offset, Head chainman blaze, and tail chainman paint on they way back...
If we were feeling salty...we would calculate the 'adjustment' to the declination...so the next 'miss' was even closer...nothing like offsets falling into your cut line...

(I would put them offset stakes against RTK in the pine forests of Arkansas any day);-)

I am marking 3' diameter trees so 1' falling is like the proverbial 4 hundredths.
But I agree, how are you supposed to erase an incorrect blaze, dry wall mud? I have used black paint on bad blazes we found then we reblazed the line. Luckily whoever did the bad blazes was lazy, they didn't do very many.
We are only painting at the moment because our Forest Manager hasn't talked to our neighbor about chopping blazes yet. If we are blazing then it will be easy enough to go back and blaze the painted trees.
I am using a Leica disto for distances which is a little more convenient than dragging a tape and it goes in a case on my belt. I have an abney level but the line is flat enough that I am not bothering at the moment. We are just rough checking distances between existing monuments at about 300 foot intervals.

We called that 'bark' paint...would only smooth the bark and not hack into the cambium layer...

We used to scribe lines on the site vanes...hillbilly stadia...and people wondered why our brush axe handles were painted red and white...lol... but we usually used a 'chain'...well a 100' Lufkin nubian...and most times even plumb bobs...
