I had an epiphany today. Most of my observation were done with me starting with a landmower, hoe, pair of shears or at least with working gloves.
and ends up with me running to get a cellphone and the garden work unfinished.

It’s called a photo tank. Angler’s Emporium has 3 different models. Some of them come with a ruler integrated along from bottom edge.

It is usually fun
The downside is that i tend to leave weeds, and we are not talking about small dandelions, more like huge parsnips, because they are full of bugs and I tend to observe more than pulling it.

almost all essential tools are listed in thread by now I think.
so here is new thing. its an open-source android app helpful for iNat users: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kylecorry.trail_sense
it uses phone sensors and few of the things I love in the app are: GPS, ruler, compass, altimeter, odometer, clinometer, whistle, photo maps, backtracking, metal detector, weather, sunrise-set timings, meteor showers, eclipses, tide timings, lists/notes, formats converter, qr scanner (geocaching)
