4/2/2015 12:45:34 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.
