If traveling (walking down the river, marsh, and beach) at some point we will be faced with a situation that requires you to cross. Because it is an explorer must have the ability to cross the river and swamp.
River crossing techniques can be categorized into two techniques, namely: a technique for crossing the river without the tools and techniques for crossing the river with a appliance.
a. Techniques for crossing the river without tools
In mountainous areas can change very quickly on the state of river water. Precipitation may result in small streams at once become wild and dangerous, because it's when we saw the bad weather and then hesitated to cross the river crossing should be postponed until conditions allow for the cross. But if we decide to keep doing the crossing should consider the following:
The first thing you should notice is the state of the crossings as carefully as possible before choosing the best place to cross. On the river which empties into the lake, it's easier to cross near the estuary. Approximately 0.5 miles from the mouth of the river normally be in, but the current is not so heavy. Having found the safest place then do not even think of trying to strong currents without the safeguards of the river because it would endanger yourself.
Do not be turned on when crossing the stream, because the current can bend your knees and dropped so we drifted. Also note also every step you take, make sure that one foot has a good foothold positions and do not walk with legs crossed. In the fast-flowing river in a rather heavy and, if the crossing should walk with oblique body position with the flow of the river and would be very helpful if the waist to form a 45 degree angle to the direction of flow. Do not be crossed by jumping from stone to stone one another, because these actions will increase the likelihood of slipping and can cause fatal accidents. Also at the highest place the backpack on his back. In the current swift, stone or other heavy objects that can be added into the backpack to get stability. The next thing is you should not even take off your shoes to cross the creek and be careful in crossing when in the group who can not swim.
b. Techniques for crossing the river by Tool
This technique is usually used if it involves a lot of people in the group who travel and have been planned in advance before traveling. There are two kinds of crossings by means of techniques: wet crossing the pedestrian crossing a partially submerged body crossing the river and dry all parts of the body where there is pedestrian above the water surface.
Wet crossings
Wet crossings can be done with several techniques, one of which is a pool survival. The basis of the pool is the ability and agility we play in the water, supported by knowledge of the properties of water. In this survival pool we can use the tools that we always carry on a journey or exploration such as a poncho or jerry cans and water bottles.
Poncho
Poncho that we know as the protector in the rain, it turns out many of their role because it is planned for it. One uses a poncho to the pool as a means of survival is a buoy that can be made by filling ponchos with dry grass, reeds or twigs, shaped like a cushion and then tied with a rope. Try tying a rope as neat as possible so that no loopholes that can enter the water. With good material and a neat rope buoy will produce a good and durable floating in the water.
At crossings with ponchos on the river was flowing, we must always strive to keep leading positions poncho oblique to the downstream, so we can take advantage of the river. But do not let go or ride a float this, because it is only a temporary pedestal, so our weight is not entirely ditumpukan on the buoy.

Bottles of Wather
Like a float from the poncho, then we can also make a float of some fruit cans and bottles are usually as a drinking water container. How to make a float with a small jerry can is not bound together but in separate into two. Jerry jerry the one associated with the latter using a rope, which is good for holding while for large cans (20 liters) can be made a kind of a small raft. Jerry is set back and the ends tied into one another.
dry crossing
Dry crossings can be done using a raft or a boat and use a rope. If the river is too wide to be crossed, the safest way to cross the river is to use a raft or boat. The next way is to use a range of ways in which the rope is used when the river is at the cross there in the gaps narrow and deep. Although rarely used this way in a way it's good to be learned.
Crossing with a tightrope
In principle, the installation and the nodes are used as usual, with a record of the rope taut and strong. How to cross over can be done by crawling over the rope or hanging on a rope, the rope on the rope connecting body at crossings by using carabiners.
Crossings with two tightrope
With two more will make it easy tightrope we move, because we could walk on one rope and holding on to the other rope. The position of the rope is not oppressed, but the location is about one meter, one above and one below making it easier for us to walk in the string.
Crossing river to be careful, although according to an estimate that does not harm the river. Observe also the weather, there is a chance you have to stay while waiting for low tide.
However safety comes first, unless they have been unable to do these techniques should be accompanied by an expert.
