CABERS - The Russ Murphy Scale
Ever wonder where the ranking numbers come from for those cabers
you throw in the midwest and mountain areas? Heres the dope
(the Russ Murphy caber scale):
1. Measure the length of the caber L 2.
Find the point at which the caber balances (place it across another
caber or something else to act as a fulcrum) and measure the length A
from the large end of the caber to the balance point and the length B
from the small end of the caber to the balance point. 3.
Find the weight of the caber W 4.
Plug these numbers into the following formula where 0.55 is Murphy's
caber constant
W x L x (A
/ B) x .55 = caber
