Crossing a Snow Packed River | Primal Survivor

The big danger here is I could fall through, and depending on how deep it is, if it's deep, that river could suck me under the ice. So, I've got to come up with a plan. This is where a little bit of, uh, mountaineering strategy comes in.

Get my snow shovel. I'm going to make a snowballer, an improvised anchoring point where I can attach a rope. What I'm trying to do is compact the snow the best I can. I think it'll work; at least, it's got to work. Once I've got my Ballard of compacted snow, I can wrap my lassu around it.

If I do actually need to use this lassu and I'm pulling on it, this string alone will rip through all that snow. So, I'll wrap this reindeer skin around it, and it will, uh, spread out the pressure. Now I'll make my first pass. I won't bring any gear, and I'll try to make myself as light as possible. I'll anchor to that side.

If I think it's safe enough, I'll come back through, bring my gear, and, uh, we're ready to go. I'm not sure about the width or depth of this river, but my rope should prevent me from being pulled under if I go in. All right, last who's wrapped around me, and this should hold all my weight.

There's an ice bridge across the water, and it seemed solid. I'm on the edge now; come on, hold! I couldn't even feel the bottom on that. I can feel it cracking underneath my feet. I have no idea how much more of this river is left. All right, but at last, I'm across.
