When I first started throwing, I struggled greatly with the caber, and that’s no exaggeration. Just ask some of my fellow HASA members and they’ll tell you.. So, I did what any newbie would do - I turned to YouTube. Through my rigorous research, one man kept coming up as a dude who crushed monster cabers; legend was that there wasn't a caber this guy couldn't turn. Mike Smith is this man's name, and I quickly decided that if I want to be even pedestrian at this event (it took me five games before I even turned my first one), I had better replicate what this man was doing. His "pick" was pretty standard, but it was his carry that set him apart. Mike Smith would carry the stick so high, it was almost at shoulder level, it seemed. In each instance I saw, he made a conscience effort to get the caber positioned higher. I'm no smart man, but I did the math:
Dude turns more monster cabers than anyone
+
No one carries it like him

Now, before I describe a caber carry or even defend it, know that I'm not saying there aren't plenty of different, and successful, ways to carry a caber. I'm just explaining how I do it and how I coach it.
We've already gone over the "pick" so let's jump into the carry. Once you've gathered yourself after catching this huge toothpick, work your hands up to chest level. So, what you have now is you're holding the caber with your elbows bent and the stick tucked in tight against your neck and shoulder. It doesn't matter what side you carry the caber on (I throw right-handed but carry the caber on my left side), just that you're comfortable with the caber and feel as if you can somewhat control it … yeah, I know, I know..
I like to carry it high for a few reasons:
Less Drop - When I'm about to pull the caber and flip it, the "drop" of that caber is critical. If you jump stop your approach (don't, by the way, but again, more on that later), you're fighting yourself. The lower my carry is, the longer pull I have at the finish, and the more momentum I have to fit as I pull that stick all the way up. With a high carry, I can more easily hit that explosive finish position I want, without having to drop down in the basement to gather for a big turn.
Tight Shoulder - I want to feel in control of the caber. The higher I hold it and the tighter it is against my chest, shoulder and neck, the more control I feel that I have on it. I can pull it in closer to my body as needed for counter-balance and more easily give it a final "nudge" when it's time to pull it (more on that in another section). This all leads me to the last reason ...
Drive the Caber - I think a lot of people make the mistake of a simple mindset; don’t just run with the caber, drive it! With a high carry, I can really drive the caber - kind of like a football sled. You cannot carry a sled and run, you have to drive it forward – let’s do the same with a caber. I even go to the extreme of keeping my head down during the entire "drive" phase. In my thought process, if I can apply forward force to the caber, then I am speeding up the top end of the stick, making it that much more likely to turn.
And if you've not Googled Mike Smith by now, I've done you the favor of linking one of my all-time favorite caber tosses.
Carry on.

My husband and I have always been careful with our financial decisions. We researched, planned, and never took unnecessary risks at least, that’s what we thought. But sometimes, even the most cautious people can find themselves in difficult situations.
Not long ago, we came across an opportunity that seemed promising. The numbers made sense, the platform looked professional, and everything appeared to be in order. At first, things went smoothly. We saw positive results, and our confidence grew. But over time, small concerns started to arise, delays, unanswered questions, and inconsistencies we couldn’t ignore. Before we knew it, we were locked out, with no clear path forward.
The feeling was overwhelming. We had invested not just our money but also our trust, and now we were left with nothing but uncertainty. We explored every possible way to fix the situation on our own, but it became clear that we needed professional help.
That’s when we found Digital Resolution Services. At first, we were skeptical after all, trusting someone new after what we had just been through wasn’t easy. But from the very first conversation, they reassured us. They had seen cases like ours before, and they knew exactly what to do. Step by step, they guided us through the process, kept us updated, and most importantly, delivered results.
Looking back, we learned a valuable lesson. Even the most well-thought-out plans can go wrong, but what matters is how you respond. If we hadn’t reached out for help, we might have never recovered. Thanks to the right people, we were able to turn things around and for that, we’re incredibly grateful.

“I’m Charles Darwin by name and i’m writing to share my incredible experience with a professional crypto recovery service know as SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY . In 2020, I invested a significant amount of money in a cryptocurrency wallet worth more than 3 million united states dollars in todays market value, but unfortunately, I lost my seed phrase. I had written it down on one piece of paper and stored it in a safe, but somehow it got misplaced.
I was devastated and felt helpless. I had tried to contact the wallet’s support team, but they were unable to assist me in recovering my funds without the seed phrase. I had also tried to use various online tools and software to recover my seed phrase, but none of them worked.
That’s when I stumbled upon a professional crypto recovery service. I was skeptical at first, but after reading reviews and testimonials from other satisfied customers, I decided to give it a try.
The recovery process was surprisingly efficient and effective. The team at the recovery service was highly professional and communicative, keeping me updated every step of the way. They used advanced techniques and tools to try and recover my seed phrase, including brainwallet recovery as they used specialized software to try and recover my seed phrase from my brainwallet and they also made use of wallet reconstruction as they reconstructed my wallet from scratch, using advanced forensic techniques to recover my private keys. Within a few weeks, I received an email from the recovery service stating that they had successfully recovered my seed phrase. I was overjoyed and couldn’t believe that I had gotten my funds back.
The recovery service also provided me with a detailed report of the recovery process, including the steps they took to recover my seed phrase. I was impressed by their expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process.
I would highly recommend this crypto recovery service to anyone who has lost their seed phrase or has lost access to their crypto funds. They are truly experts in their field, and their services are worth every penny. Kindly contact them through any of the following means

I verified that I had lost $78,000 in Bitcoin as a result of fraud, and I was able to get all of my money back into my wallet after collaborating with the Redeemed Hacker Pro (RHP) team. This team fixed the problem using sound technology and put my stolen money back in my wallet. I advise anyone experiencing a similar problem to contact the RHP team at Redeemed.h.p@hackermail.com or visit redeemedhackerpro.com to get their money returned from crooks.

I was impatient to carry out the necessary research but I wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 84,700 GBP worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent trading platform, I was happy to watch my account grow to 123,575 GBP within a couple of weeks. But I didn’t realize I was dealing with a scam trading platform until I tried to make a withdrawal. I made a withdrawal request and noticed my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support but to no avail. I needed my money back at all costs because I couldn’t afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed Bitcoin. I did a lot of online searching for help and tried to see if other people had any similar experiences. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum where a couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptography funds with the help of Ryan Ackroyd Wizard Expert.
