Expedient Water Crossings
In a survival situation, you may have to cross a water obstacle. It may
be in the form of a river, a stream, a lake, a bog, quicksand, quagmire, or
muskeg. Even in the desert, flash floods occur, making streams an obstacle.
Whatever the obstacle, you need to know how to cross it safely.
