Surface Crossings Or “How To Pass The River And To Remain Dry”
In a campaign happens that it is necessary to be forwarded through the river, and in water it would not be desirable to climb. In such cases try to take advantage of one of ways of a crossing over water.
CROSSINGS WITH USE OF LOGS:
Such crossings are carried out basically when transition is at a loss depth or in the speed of a current, a low water temperature, hindrances in a channel (stones, snags etc.).
If the log thin, wet and on it is difficult to move, for stability make notches. On a crude log it is more safe to be forwarded sitting or in a lap. For a crossing choose a log which will block the river approximately on 1,5 ? 2 meters about each party.
The log through a barrier can be stacked promotion and a turn.
The crossing is directed by promotion in such sequence:
1. Pick up a log of the necessary length;
2. Of improvised materials make some skating rinks which arrange near to coast so that they have formed a line to perpendicularly current;
3. Lay a log on skating rinks;
4. For more conveniences adhere to logs a counterbalance, and to top ? a cord so that remains two identical ends;
5. Then on two participants of your group each end and other group let take, slowly moves a log forward while the top will not lay down on opposite coast.
The crossing a turn is under construction so:
1. A log release from boughs and branches;
2. Dig a pole ashore and place in it the thick, root end of a log of the prepared log;
3. Fasten on the top end a cord, using seizing knot so that remains two equal ends;
4. Two groups undertake the cord ends, raise a log and having raised on the necessary height develop perpendicularly to the river;
5. Do not forget to fix a log;
6. One of group removes a backpack and passes through a barrier, on other party if necessary the log also is fixed.
Having thrown through the river a pole. This way of a crossing use only on rather narrow sites of the river. The pole is desirable for fixing. At transition on a pole for the insurance I recommend to use a pole, putting it against the current.
The crossing on luggage is applied, when it is necessary to overcome a water obstacle of deep water, but rather narrow (cracks, streams, canyons etc.). For this purpose pick up some not thick logs, connect them with the rope and lay through an obstacle. At transition it is possible to use a pole as an insuring support or to stretch over luggage insuring handrail from cords or poles.
The bridge from the fallen down tree is one more way to be forwarded through a water obstacle. To take advantage the tree near to coast steals up. A tree cut taking into account that it, having fallen, has blocked the river. One of participants of group leaves a backpack, and passes on a log, cutting down boughs stirring to movement. Having forced a water barrier, it fixes tree top.
This way of a crossing harms to the nature, therefore use it as seldom as possible!
