    @12:35 I believe the overlanders in Africa when they rode in Landrovers they had tandem winch or pull chains/rope setup. So if you started getting too deep or pushed by the current they could winch you back out. Visa versa if you made it to the other side and the guy/gal behind you lost traction - then you just tow them out.
