[TheForge] Weight

[Jerry Frost]

Okay. But is it any easier than using a regular 
calculator? Your computer and connection is certainly 
less likely to be available when you're trying to 
figure out if your old pickup can carry that 
tantalizing hunk of steel you found just laying there.

You could carry a pocket reference and look at the 
chart. It even has a scale on the inside of the cover 
so you don't have to carry a tape measure.

Seriously, if you know what a cu/in or cu/ft weighs you 
can figure it in the dust with your finger. You can 
measure it with your hand, palm, finger, etc. if you 
know what they measure. You only have to know a few 
basic things to be self reliant in most cases. This 
being a perfect example.
