Here's a gadget that I don't need but sorely want!  It's for measuring the diameter of trees, useful for determining whether a tree can be rightfully called a champion or heritage tree.  How often would I use it?  At least once, I suppose.

You have to scroll down a bit to the heritage tree part. It's a legal definition that protects a tree from being cut or molested. It varies from place to place, and not everywhere has that designation. It seems to be a popular route of protection for Canada and the PNW.
