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.

Two months ago, I fell victim to a remote access helpdesk scam that cost me $2,000 in cryptocurrency. The scammers were persuasive, fluent in my native language, and possessed personal information about me. Under pressure, I unknowingly transferred my funds to their “secure” wallet.
I tried everything to recover the funds but had no success. Then, I shared my experience on Quora and found a genuine recommendation for the South Pole 5 Eyes Recovery Experts. Skeptical but hopeful, I reached out to them. They responded promptly, explained the process, and worked tirelessly to resolve my case. In two months, they tracked the scammers, negotiated successfully, and fully recovered my funds, with compensation!

I’m sharing my experience to help anyone who may find themselves in the same difficult situation I was in just a few months ago. I work in the banking sector and, like many others, I was drawn to the world of cryptocurrency with the hope of building a stronger financial future. I took time to do what I believed was proper research. The platform I invested in looked very professional, the team seemed responsive, and everything about it felt legitimate. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
What I did not realize at the time was that I had walked straight into a phishing scam. In a matter of seconds, all of my Bitcoin and USDT holdings were gone. I was in complete shock. Years of savings vanished almost instantly, and I felt absolutely helpless.
The turning point came one weekend when I was playing tennis with some friends. I shared my experience casually, just trying to vent. One of the members of our club told me about Morphohack Cyber Service. He mentioned that his company had worked with them in the past to recover sensitive business data and that their team was trustworthy.
I contacted Morphohack immediately, and from the first conversation, I felt a sense of hope. They took the time to understand my situation, asked for details, and began investigating right away. Within days, they traced the stolen funds and eventually recovered my crypto assets.
I cannot overstate how thankful I am to Morphohack. They were professional, respectful, and most importantly, effective. They turned a nightmare into a story of relief and recovery.
If you have been scammed or lost your crypto, do not give up. There is real help out there. Morphohack gave me back more than just money, they gave me peace of mind. Their contact information: ( Morphohack@cyberservices . com )
