How to measure tall palms

[Zeeth]

[Chris Chance]

Haha yes I would have to say that's an effective way.

We need an internationally compatible conversion for 1 woman = ? man = ? meter = ? foot.  And not only that, I need x women for measuring my palms.

My tallest palm is four guy high.

That's actually a pretty clever idea!

Very good idea, while she is up there can she pick a few coconuts for us?

Zeeth, I have to ask if you surf.  It sounds like the way surfer's talk about how big waves are...waist high, chest high, DOH (double overhead), etc.  The problem already identified, is the size of your subject.  At one of my regular surfspots, we add the clarification as to who's HH (head high) it would be.

Well said. Glad after a long time palmtalk discussions are becoming more lively.

Btw. There are laser guided equipments available today more used by building contractors.that might help in giving exact hight of palms.

That equipment is as small as a hand held tourch light.and has a digital read out.as seen in a tong tester gadget.  it works on the principle of ultrasound as in radar,I think.

There's no real good surfing on this coast, but my fiancee's dad tried taking me once when we were visiting them in Brevard. I swallowed a lot of saltwater that day.

I like that idea, Kris. I think my mom actually has a laser measure, but I've never thought of using it on palms before!

Yes, hypsometers, which use ultrasounds to make measurements, are used in forestry field. They're quite expensive though (I've used one which costs more than 1000€)

Should the crown be part of the measure as well, it only seems logical:)
