Default Re: Convert me from Natural crotch to Arbor block

Very good posts here. George, Ekka great.

Thought i would had, if your retaining the tree your rigging off, be sure to use a friction device as natural crotch rigging will absolutely hammer the cambium.

Also natural crotch rigging, taking wraps around the trunk with long ropes is a pain!

Some lowering systems twist ropes, especially wound laid ropes.
