Yes, getting out is by far, the most important part. Good to see that for a beginning sinker, you have your priorities straight.
The next thing you need to understand is that by going barefoot, you stand the best chance of getting out. However (there’s always a “however”), there’s occasionally stuff down in the mud that may cause injury to your feet. So I always recommend some sort of footwear. And again, or HOWEVER, be careful when choosing footwear. It’s probably the most critical choice you’ll ever make when it comes to sinking, because it can make the difference between sinking until you can’t get back out or easily extracting yourself. You should aim for an easy escape, especially just starting out. So get lightweight footwear with a rubber sole that’s no wider than the footwear that it’s attached to. In this case, inexpensive scuba diving booties should work well for you. Just make sure that they’re high tops so they can’t be easily pulled off your feet by any suction. Low top or no top shoes are easily lost to the mud, leaving you barefoot again. By having high tops, they’re up above the ankles, which helps to keep them from bing pulled off. WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO PUT ON YOUR FEET CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTUALLY SINKING COMPLETELY BELOW THE SURFACE AND DROWNING OR ASPHYXIATION, or having yourself an absolutely amazing time. So if the sole of your footwear looks too big, it probably is. Keep in mind, once you lace up those extremely heavy work boots tight around your calves, your not going to be able to remove them when you’re feet are way down below you and you’ve sank so deep that your chin is now touching the mud, or the mud has climbed up the sides of your head and is about to cover up your nose. And when you desperately try to pull your feet up, you end up sinking down even deeper. Yes, this can really happen. Just like in the movies…except it takes longer…normally a lot longer. Don’t put something on your feet that’s going to create enormous amounts of suction, because you’ll never overpower the suction. You can learn to sink really deep…over time…lots of time. While that scenario is very real, it’s also very rare. But getting stuck isn’t that rare at all. Happens a lot. The difference between we sinkers and those that don’t is that while they’re making their snide comments about us, they’re also the ones who need to be rescued from the mud. It’s practically nonexistent for anyone who sinks regularly to ever need being rescued.
If you’re sensitive to being cold, you might want to seriously consider buying yourself a wetsuit. But make absolutely sure that it fits properly. Often times people who have never worn a wetsuit will go out and buy what they think is a properly fitted wetsuit. If your wetsuit is even slightly loose, it won’t work properly. It needs to feel really snug, not quite tight, but closer to tight than loose. That’s because it has to hold a very thin layer of water between your body and the suit. Your body will warm that water up, and because the suit both acts like insulation and holds that water in place so it doesn’t just run out the arms or legs, you’ll feel much warmer than you would be otherwise. It’ll also protect your body from any unexpected foreign matter in the mud. However, there’s certain kinds of mud that feel incredible against your skin. And you’ll loose that sensation. You can often find used wetsuits for dirt cheap. However, sometimes it’s better to just buy new. That’s because newer wetsuits have a lot more stretch, so they’ll fit better. When buying such a suit, buy one that looks smaller than yourself. It’ll stretch out and fit like a second skin…exactly as a wetsuit should fit. Tuck the tops of your booties in under the suits ankle cuffs, unless the ankle cuffs have seals on them. Then they go on the outside. Or, they’ll be a set of booties designed specifically for that wetsuit. Then the booties will have a seal that mates up with the seal on the ankle cuff, keeping the water out. And by the way…older wetsuits were designed to be worn over a bathing suit. The new suits are different. They’re specifically designed to be worn over directly your birthday suit. Forget the underwear or bathing suit, because those items hold more water, which can be annoying. Fit is crucial for a wetsuit. A good fitting wetsuit will actually be very comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time. But they’re going to take a bit of effort to get into. That’s normal. If it just slips right on, it’s way too big.
If you’re not sensitive to the cold, or if it’s not even cold, you can wear whatever you want. But loose fitting garments may make getting out harder, because more gooey stuff can stick to them. Don’t be surprised if your pulling 50 or more pounds of mud back up with you. Chances are as you sink that you’ll blow a nut or two. It’s not considered to be a fetish for nothing. Chances are also really high that, depending on how deep you sank, that you’re going to be really sore the next day. Of course, that’ll stop happening the more often you sink, because this activity doesn’t just let you blow your nuts dry, it exercises muscles you probably didn’t know you even had. If you start sinking often, you’re going to find yourself feeling fitter and fitter. I can’t think of another fetish that’s as taxing as sinking in mud. It’s not the sinking that wears you out. It’s the escape.
Now all you need is one peat bog. And hopefully someone with a little bit of experience for your first few times. Pay attention to what can go wrong in here. They’re very real. Fortunately, they’re also very rare. Just use a bit of common sense and you’ll be fine. Learn from what others have posted. There’s plenty of sinking talent in here. In fact, there’s probably no better source. So if you read about something that went bad for someone else, it’ll probably be the same for you as well.
Getting out of mud and clay requires very small, deliberate moves. That’s a matter for another discussion.
One more critical thing…
HAVE FUN!!!
