An increment borer is used to determine the age of a tree. The borer is compact so it can fit into a pocket of the vest and is easily assembled. After boring into a tree a forester removes a core and counts the growth rings - just as you would on a tree stump. http://www.cnr.vt.edu/dendro/forsite/incre.htm This site gives more information http://wesspur.com/Diagnostic-Tools/increment-borers.html
