Thought I'd do a comprehesive vid of proper plunging techniques.

Am I missing something.

GOLGW. that's GOL gone wrong.

GOL is simple, its a foundation to get someone to the "reasonably acceptable" level. When I am reviewing a potential faller, they must have a firm grasp of many of the techniques espoused by GOL, especially bore cutting and proper escape, not to say these are exclusively GOL techniques. BUT, if they want a job, they must have more than that. Its a 3 part puzzle to pass my test- safety, quality, and production. Production will suffer if you haven't adopted technique to maximize production based on the conditions at hand, while maintaining safe work practices, practices which vary based on those very conditions. Quality and safety may plummet if production is over valued reducing stem utilization and value recovery from the butt log- splinter pull, busted hinges, etc. Of you're safer than need be, production plummets, got to balance all three.

maybe that answers Burv's question too. Cause the saw hand in question is not fully capable- but, nowhere does GOL say you have to do everything from one side. But if you wnat ot up your numbers, you ought to be able to do everything from either side. If you want to participate in real logging, you MUST have production in mind.
