Luckily I haven't had to do it yet, but whilst reading an article about walking on Dartmoor in winter, the walkers came across a few streams they needed to cross that didn't have bridges. The method they used to cross them was to remove boots and socks, slip on some old sandals, cross through the cold water with their gear, dry off, put socks and boots back on ... and off they go.
I can see that they wouldn't want to be walking around in soaking socks and shoes or boots, but it seemed like quite a faff so I wondered if any of you take a different approach to crossing streams? Plastic bags inside your boots maybe?
