This episode focuses on surviving one of the most deceptively dangerous challenges in the wild: crossing a river. While rivers may appear calm or shallow, they are powerful forces capable of sweeping away even strong individuals. The episode emphasizes that the first rule of river survival is not to rush. Before attempting to cross, one must observe and assess — studying water speed, debris flow, depth variations, and potential hazards such as hidden rocks or strong undercurrents. Listeners are
