Anyone have a good way to cross a stream? I need to cross about 30 feet. I was thinking about stringing a cable across and attaching it to a couple of trees. I don't want to carry any extra equipment such as waders and I want it to be something not very easy to spot.

Early to bed, early to rise. Hunt like hell and make up lies.

How deep are we talking????
If it is not above the crotch,take a couple heavy duty garbage bags,put one on each leg like hip boots,wade across and fold the bags and put under a brush till you come back.
I have used these on duck hunts several times.

I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

One of my best bucks of all time was taken by wading 100 yards across a flooded swamp and beaver pond. I put on my knee high rubber boots and rain suit. I then taped around the pant legs on the rainsuit to keep water from going up. I then taped the waist, then put on the jacket and taped the zipper and bottom of the jacket tight with duct tape. At times I was in water up to my arm pits. I had just cleared the pond to this little high ground I wanted to hunt that morning and was taking off the rainsuit when I heard the buck come into the pond on the other side. He climbed out of the water at a distance of 10 yards. Slam dunk. I taped myself back up and floated him behind me going back. Fastest hunt I ever had except for the time it took to pick my way around the deep spots.
