Raft Perimeter Line – Yes or No?
Perimeter line use (aka chicken strap) has been a controversial topic since the early days of rafting. Some raft guides are adamant about not having a line around their raft.
Filmmakers need river safety services to safeguard their crews when they film alongside or in rivers. New Wave has safeguarded horsemen crossing the river and we have carried crew back and forth. We have built a filming platform and safeguarded a cattle river-crossing. New Wave built a bridge and guarded an actor swimming in the river. We have worked on The Magnificent Seven, Lonesome Dove, The Last Outlaw, Reconstruction and other films. We have worked on the Rio Grande, Rio Chama and Pecos River.
