Its well worth reiterating that practising this skill can be a life saver for those that HAVE to cross rivers. Waay back in tramping club days us kids couldn't wait to come across a swollen river...'cause that meant we had the perfect excuse to miss Monday off school. "Couldn't get out of the hills till the rivers came down". Just meant we always made sure we had enough dehy to last an extra day playing 500 in the pup tents or hut.![]()
