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’m Lawal from Dubai. I was exploited by a Crypto Exchange Investment Platform and was made to invest $198,000 worth of crypto to this company. They made it all look real and it was impossible to easily figure out the sham they were running. I was just like every other curious person and investor who decided to invest in cryptocurrency trading all in the aim of making profit, but I was exploited and lost my hard-earned money to this service, if not for the intervention of Mr. James, a cyber security and crypto recovery expert who was able to help top officials from the government/companies recover their emails and cryptocurrency successfully, I would have not been able to recover my crypto assets. The spammers had contacted me through a popular social media platform (Facebook) which I later found out to be a sham, But James made me realize many other victims like me invested in this platform, I’m bringing this to you here that it was a scam to steal crypto from people. James was able to recover my crypto successfully and has since been able to assist two of my partners in recovering their crypto from this same online crypto investment platform.

Which added significant stress to my already difficult health issues. as I was also facing cancer surgery expenses. Desperate to recover my funds. I spent hours researching and consulting other victims. which led me to discover the excellent reputation of TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY SERVICE.
I came across a Google post It was only after spending many hours researching and asking other victims for advice that I discovered Trojanhack cyber security service’s stellar reputation. I decided to contact them because of their successful recovery record and encouraging client testimonials.

CYRPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY SPECIALIST/ FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER
I remember a tough time when my college friend, Sarah, went through something that really shook her. We met during our freshman year at the University of Arizona, both studying Engineering. Sarah quickly became one of my closest friends, and we bonded over our love for technology and problem-solving. Our late-night study sessions were full of deep conversations about circuits, coding, and everything in between. Over time, Sarah’s curiosity led her to explore a lot of different things—new hobbies, tech tools, and even investing. She was fascinated by the stock market and cryptocurrency, eager to learn more. Little did I know, this interest would soon put her in a difficult situation. A few months into our second year, Sarah received a message on X (formerly Twitter), which appeared to be from Elon Musk himself, offering a unique investment opportunity in an online trading platform. The message seemed legitimate, and Sarah was excited about the idea of making a smart investment. She invested $55,000, reassured by the person she was communicating with that everything was secure and that returns would come quickly. However, things took a sudden turn when Sarah tried to withdraw her money. Her account was frozen, and all communication from the supposed investment contact stopped. She was devastated, and that’s when I saw how much this had shaken her. I suggested we search for help online, and that’s when Sarah came across a company called FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER. At first, she was hesitant, but we decided to give it a shot.The team at FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER worked relentlessly to recover her lost funds, and within a few days, almost the entire $55,000 was returned. It was an enormous relief for Sarah, and I could see the trust slowly returning to her. Through this ordeal, she learned an important lesson about the importance of caution online, and I was just as relieved to see her regain her confidence. Despite the tough experience, it brought us even closer as friends. It reminded us both how crucial it is to stay vigilant and informed in today’s digital world.
