I have 14 treestands on my little 120 acre patch and don't get to hunt all of them in the same year most of the time, so when I sit in a stand I usually don't remember how far everything is, so it helps me to just reassure myself a bit with the rangefinder.
RJ:
But if you DID know what 30 yds was in all of those stands....would you still feel the need to take it?
