If they wanted to try to do this on their own without getting a consultant out there to do it.

Yeah.

So I've seen everything from using your thumb, a penny, a piece of cardboard, and a chain.

Most foresters or young students in forestry will use a 10 factor prism.

And the way it works is when you're using it, you're looking at the relationship to the stem diameter with the thickness of the prism or your thumb or the coin, and there's a relationship that says if a tree is in, it has to be so big.

Its plot has to be so big.

The tree's plot, the place that it occupies within the forest.

Yeah.

So whatever level that you hit at different times during the podcast, it's all it's all good fodder for the listeners.

That's a great question.

Why do a cruise or an inventory at all? And it really depends on your objectives.

And so it could be as far apart from one another as wanting to purchase land, purchase standing timber, and needing to know what resources are out there.

Maybe you're trying to sell the timber.

You need to know what you have so you can put it out there for a bit.

Or maybe you're looking for an exotic or an endangered species.
