Bro, It seems as though you consider GOL stuff as either superior technique, or the secret component to some perceived capability. On the contrary, the GOL skill set is just one piece of the pie, one tool in the bag. Just one. A good start, but not a complete fallers package.
Dude....i fall timber for a living....been for 10yrs....i didnt say GOL is the only way but it DOES work for alot of situations......as much of the twisted up dangerous steep ground that i work on i probably GOL 1-4 trees a day...depending on the circumstances...i use another technique that one of the best veteran fallers that i know taught me and im not about to give it up over the net....you work with me for a day you MIGHT catch me doing it...you might not...
