Hi newguy18 good to see you over here, the most critical thing i have found when natural crotching is the way you wrap the crotch, always make sure you orientate the rope so it does not clamp down on itself jamming the log or section way up high with little option as to how to free it...yes learnt from painfull personal experience. I think Ekka has a good diagram/drawing of this.
