Forest step
The forest step was a measure of length for hunters and was used to measure the forest. The purpose of this step measure and the region of distribution of the measure cannot be clearly determined. The hunters probably made the nets and fences with the small measure or hung cloths for the hunt according to this measure. The forest cut , the same length of 2½ feet , probably had the same use by the hunters.
