How clutter happens.

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.

i suppose for a plumber, who is doing this day in and day out it might be useful.
actually, if the size is the pure limiting factor, you could make a string the right length, and trees that are bigger won't fit, and would be heritage, and lesser trees would meet or overlap and wouldn't be (and thus are edible?)
