What is the best way to cross streams while backpacking,[url=http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers bear vest outlet Hampton Roads Technology Council[/b][/url]
I'm curious of a good technique to cross a stream while backpacking that's above the boot's waterproof line but no higher than the knees. I typically face upstream and use my hiking poles for stability. However,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/[/b][/url], I'm not a fan of soggy boots, so I tend to go barefoot,[url=http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers jackets[/b][/url], which adds to the risk of slipping on slick rocks or stepping on a sharp edge. Is it best to wear the boots anyway and try to dry them by rotating socks? Or would a pair of camp shoes that quickly dry be a good option?
This is similar to this question,[url=http://peutereyjacketsuppliers.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey Jacket[/b][/b][/url], but less related to survival and more about typical backpacking trips. I'm often going solo and on well maintained trails, but without a bridge at the streams. fall a tree).
If you feel unstable then put your rainfly on your pack and float it or,[url=http://kevindurantnerfshoesreleasedate.blogspot.com/][b]kevin durant nerf shoes release date[/b][/url], at the least, unbuckle the belt so you can ditch it if you go under the water.
When you step, wiggle your foot before putting weight on it. If it's slippery try a different footing.
If there are so many crossing that it's not practical to change,[url=http://rogerviviershoes.webmium.com/][b]sell 2013 discount Roger Vivier shoes outlet Roger Vivier on sale Roger Vivier shop[/b][/url], I just hike in shoes.
Look for aerated shoes that will drain fast,[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakers.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti sneakers on sale[/b][/url]. Find something that's still a good fit. This will vary from person to person,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]woolrich deutschland[/b][/url]. It seems that everyone I meet uses something and swears by it and there is nothing else possibly better ever,[url=http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers outlet store[/b][/url].
Test first. I do this with places that allow returns. I put the shoes on with socks and hose them until soaked. Then I walk five miles. If my feet hurt,[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakers.webmium.com/][b]http://giuseppezanottisneakers.webmium.com/[/b][/url], I return them. I do take care to not beat them up in that five miles.
We do Jack's River here in GA every year. Last trip I used these and they worked amazingly well for 16+ river crossings in 8 miles. However, you have to buy what works for your feet. I tried on about a dozen shoes before I found these.
