"Risk of sinking up his neck...."
Yeah sure, especially when the firefighters are kneeling in the same sand right next to him

I'm already chindeep in this mudbog and every desperate attempt to move my stuck legs only drives me deeper in. The thick mud slowly swamps my waders and my arms have nothing to hold onto.
I'm feeling home.

Anyone else really, really want a hovercraft?
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.

Wouldn't that be just the ideal rig for a lot of what we do ?
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for over 20 years. Thank you.

Re: Yet Another Situation (Split Topic)
It's amazing how dangerous walking on the beach is in England that people get themselves stuck in quicksand. I could never imagine here in NJ along the beach walking and accidentally getting stuck in quicksand. There is plenty of mud in the back bays that can be pretty sticky and deep, but you need to really go out of your way to find it, and also in the rivers where there never is a worry of tides.

Re: Yet Another Situation (Split Topic)
I've seen the real thing in two places, Truro in Novas Scotia and Turnagain Arm just south of Anchorage. Both are places where the tide comes in in a rush over very flat channel. I believe the same sort of thing is what is found in the UK locations. I believe the incoming time lifts and saturates the sand along its path, which in both places I've seen is also very fine-grained. It is my believe, therefore, that its the tidal interaction with fins sand that is the cause of tidal quicksand. The tide itself is also the principal danger should one become stuck and its the very fine grain that can entrap a foot.
