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

Worth trying
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.

I was locked out of my Ledger wallet after a firmware update and in an instant, years of crypto investments were out of reach. My recovery phrase wasn’t working, Ledger support was unresponsive, and every online ‘solution’ led nowhere. I genuinely thought I had lost everything.
Then I found SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY COMPANY and they changed everything. Their team immediately launched a firmware rollback protocol to restore the Ledger to a stable version. Then, using advanced memory snapshot analysis, they were able to extract fragments of cached seed data from previous device states which i didn’t even know was possible. Within 72 hours, my wallet was restored and every single coin was back in my control.
These aren’t just tech experts, they’re digital rescue specialists. If you’re locked out, hacked, or scammed, I highly recommend SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY COMPANY. They’re professional, fast, and absolutely the best in the game. Don’t waste time or risk more loss. Instead, get in touch with SPYHOST . They saved my crypto, and they can save yours too.

Testimony: "My Dad’s Lost Bitcoin Was Recovered After 12 Years – Thanks to CLOUDSTRIKE "
Earlier this year, we came across an old notebook with a partial 9-word seed phrase and a reference to a “Bitcoin wallet – Electrum.” We also found a non-working laptop from around 2013.
He had once mentioned buying Bitcoin back then, but we assumed it was a passing interest. Clearly, it wasn’t.
The problem? The laptop was unreadable, and the seed phrase was incomplete.
After failed DIY attempts, we reached to a company specializing in digital asset recovery and seed phrase reconstruction( CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY ) . From the beginning, they were professional, transparent, and highly responsive.
Their team recovered and decrypted data from the damaged laptop, analyzed old wallet files and metadata and also used proprietary tools to reconstruct the missing seed words
Within three weeks, they successfully recovered the wallet:
17 BTC—worth over $1,600,000 at the time.
Thanks to CLOUDSTRIKE , we recovered not just digital assets—but a part of my father’s legacy. The funds helped us pay off our family home, invest in the future, and support a cause he cared about.
If you’re locked out of a wallet or missing a seed phrase, I highly recommend CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY and they can be contact through their E-mall address which is ( Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com)

Their expertise is rare—and real.
