If you are really interested, you could try this for starters. There are many others available.

Or this, which you can actually read on the net

Good plan too, dunno if it is in the manual
Wide open, 2nd low box, drop the clutch, usually gets over a lot of stuff ..
Well, if you don't break anything ...
Seriously, go slow, then go slower than that, but keep enough speed (read that as momentum) to get over little obstacles and small hills without adding too many revs. The old saying is "Slow as you can, Fast as you need" ..

Or, as my saffer mates say, ASAPAFAN! As Slow As Possible, As Fast As Necessary!

A good understanding of your vehicle dimensions. Knowing what the underside looks like....high and low points.
Bits which stick out....roof rack, spot lights etc.
A bog roll cos you never know.
There are some good videos on youtube and the like.

Don't wade without absolutely knowing how deep the water is, how good the base is to drive on, and if you're approaching a flooded ford, make sure you know whether the ford has a dog-leg in it so you don't drive straight into the river instead of on the road ...

Harnesses are even better than belts for the serious off-roaders.

Not a fan of harnesses myself. Even ccv comp Motors you only require lap belts. If wearing harnesses binder you controlling your vehicle then stick to normal belts.
Join an offroad club a proper one like the Awdc or association of land rover clubs that will teach you how to drive. Myself and 300bhp had fun competing in the Nationals this year and it turns out points wise pretty much matched.
