LCTT- Sycamore log slipped out of rope while being rigged. |
Detroit Sunny |
Sycamore bark is very smooth and a regular running bowline may not be sufficient enough to hold logs or limbs without a crotch. If no crotch is available to hold the piece being roped the running bowline should be backed up with a half hitch and double checked that both are cinched/choked down properly. |
