Once upon a time I knew this surveyer. He was definitely a wood miser. He always had a stick that was the length of wood he wanted, and he used a shot of spray paint to mark the wood length. He used a different color every year, and kept a log of all the colors and years. I eyeball all my cuts and they always seem to be a little short of the 22” I could be getting.

This will be me next time I cut.
