How to Cross a River Safely | Expedition Episode 20 | MSC Get Outdoors Series

In this video you will learn how to identify whether a river is safe to cross, where to cross, and how to cross safely using the mutual support technique. As much as possible, you should plan to use tracks with bridges during your trip planning phase. Always be prepared to turn around or find another track if the river isn’t safe.
