Why would a bolted crotchstrap be prefferable to a sewn strap?
And no, "because George says so" isn't a good enough answer. I agree with most of what DIR teaches because the reasoning behind it is sound. I never just blindly follow anybody's rules just because they say so.
I didn't say it was. I said"
"The crotch strap works just fine and infact it is possible that Sauron might tell you you're an Orc (stroke) for using a sewn crotch strap instead of a bolted one like he uses/used."
You will have to travel to Mordor and ask the "Dark Lord Sauron" that question!
