Default Re: Convert me from Natural crotch to Arbor block

Both natural crotch and blocks have their uses.

Some trees/locations suit natural crotch whilst others are better with blocks.

Setting a block means climbing to the rigging point and then coming back down to cut lower limbs first. Also you can set more than one block, many combinations.

I do both, no hard and fast rules just a matter of what is best or fastest for the particular tree/site.
