Excited to try this, for the beans do I soak them like the package says before trying to cook this?

I just got my crock pot so I am still trying to figure it out. I have tried several of your recipes, and they have all ended up on my “must make again” list. THANK YOU!

My question here is if it is necessary to start out on high. Can I cook in on low only? If so, how long would you guess?
