This video series is the companion to the BC Faller Training Standard, which was designed to teach new fallers safe work procedures for falling and bucking.
The goal is to help workers with forestry experience develop the knowledge, attitude, skills, and abilities that will enable them to function as safe and productive fallers. Note: Some practices demonstrated were modified for filming and may not be consistent with the BC Faller Training Standard.
Jacques:"Holding wood" here is what I've heard referred to everywhere else as "hinge". Generally "holding wood" comes into play when making a bore-cut for the backcut. As you approach breaking out, the remaining wood is "holding wood". Seems we might want to agree on a common lexicon?
