  1. I came across a waterfall inside of a cave, and in order to move deeper into the cave, I **had** to travel across the waterfall, there were no other paths around it. What is the best way to travel across a waterfall, in order to avoid hypothermia? When I crossed the waterfall with all of my clothing on, the outer layers got completely soaking wet, and my body temperature instantly dropped to 0, which forced me to immediately build a fire on the other side of the waterfall to avoid dying of hypothermia. Running across a waterfall doesn't seem to reduce exposure time to the freezing cold water. I tested out removing all of my clothes before running across. The result was that my body temperature still got dropped instantly to 0, but since I was not wearing my clothing, they weren't wet, and putting them all back on when I was on the other side started to warm me back up again. I'm not sure if it's still necessary to build a fire using this method, it seems kind of risky. Is there a better way to travel across a waterfall to avoid hypothermia, without having to build a campfire immediately on the other side in order to warm back up?
