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.

Cryptocurrency investment can be a thrilling yet perilous endeavour, as I discovered through a rollercoaster of experiences with Litecoin’s.

A few months ago, I became a victim of a crypto scam that cost me more than $42,000. It started with what looked like a legitimate investment opportunity on social media. The platform was well-designed, the “advisors” sounded experienced, and the returns they promised seemed realistic at the time. I did some quick research, saw fake positive reviews, and decided to give it a try. At first, everything seemed to go smoothly. I deposited small amounts and saw returns in my account almost immediately. Encouraged, I added more—until I realized I could no longer withdraw anything. The site shut down, the contact numbers went dead, and the people I had spoken to disappeared. That’s when it hit me—I had been scammed. I was embarrassed, angry, and honestly, heartbroken. I didn’t think there was any way to get the money back. My bank couldn’t help, the police didn’t have any tools for crypto tracing, and I felt completely stuck.
Then, a friend referred me to JHADDIX ETHICAL HACKER’S RECOVERY. I was hesitant at first, but after speaking with one of their recovery specialists, I felt a sense of hope I hadn’t felt in weeks. They were incredibly professional, didn’t make any exaggerated claims, and explained their process clearly. The team began working right away using advanced blockchain forensics to trace the stolen funds. Within a few days, they located the wallets that received my funds and started the legal steps necessary to flag and recover the crypto. I was blown away by how thorough and efficient they were
After several weeks of careful investigation and coordination, JHADDIX ETHICAL HACKER’S RECOVERY successfully recovered nearly 75% of my lost funds. I couldn’t believe it. I went from thinking that money was gone forever to having it returned to me—and all thanks to their dedication and expertise. If you’ve lost money to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend JHADDIX ETHICAL HACKER’S RECOVERY enough. They’re the real deal. Professional, honest, and relentless in fighting for their clients. Thanks to them, I’ve not only recovered most of what I lost, but I’ve also regained peace of mind.

A few weeks ago, I made what I thought was an irreversible mistake — I accidentally sent about $117,000 worth of Bitcoin to the wrong wallet address. It was supposed to be used for a major purchase, but one typo changed everything. The moment I hit “send” and realized what had happened, my heart sank. I honestly felt like my world was falling apart. That money was everything I had.
Like many people, I’d always heard that crypto transactions are final and basically impossible to recover. I started reading forums, asking around, and all I saw were messages telling me there was nothing I could do. It felt hopeless.
Then I came across a company called JHADDIX ETHICAL HACKER’S. I’ll admit — I was sceptical at first. It just sounded too good to be true, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I contacted them through their email[jhaddixethicalhacker@gmail.com] or website: jhaddixethicalhacker.com
To my surprise, they responded quickly and professionally. They asked for all the relevant transaction details — the wallet address I sent the Bitcoin from, the one I sent it to, the transaction ID, and a few other things. I sent it all over, still unsure if anything would come of it.
But within 48 hours, they got back to me with incredible news: they had tracked down the transaction and recovered my funds. I couldn’t believe it. I actually had to reread the email a few times to let it sink in. They guided me step by step and transferred the recovered Bitcoin back to my wallet. I was in shock — and honestly, beyond grateful.
I never thought recovery like this was even possible, but JHADDIX ETHICAL HACKER’S proved me wrong. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They truly saved me.
