So I've been wondering this for a few months now, on our encampment packing list there is "18' ruler" on it. Now as I think you all will know, most rulers have 12 inches on them. So why, may I ask, is this there? I have asked multiple people who have been to encampment before and they have all said they never needed more then 12 inches on the ruler and they have never brought a 18' one (or well, you know, been told off for not having one)I have no idea if this is just our encampment but it seemed to me like just another thing to spend more money on. So yeah I'm just wondering why we would have a need for anything larger then a 12' one. Should I get one or would a normal one be fine??

35+ years of hospital corners and never used a ruler. Who knew? I'll have to give it a shot.

Canteen? We didn't get no stinking canteens.How does one use a canteen to accomplish hospital corners?
