Been doing it in the bush and back country off and on since the '70s... Not all of us conventional geared flyers have been privileged to fly out of airports with weather reporting systems. But tell you what... why don't you PM your mobile phone number so next time I'm in the hight country landing in an open field, I can call you on my sat phone for wind information and proper landing techniques to avoid those dreaded ground loops.
Our newbies have an average of 250 hours before the commencement of their line training. But headwind component additives are not the issue here... its flying the airplane after the additives for wind and ice, as appropriate, have been input into the CDU, and keeping the big picture in mind.
Don't know if it's Boeing specific, but our company observes crosswind limitations for our -800s, of which all are winglet equipped.
35 knots on dry runways and 30 knots on wet runways. These limitations are reduced for runway widths of less than 150 feet by 1 knot for each 3' of width.
