Thanks for these, mudmaiden. I think the middle one is someone's cartoon fake, but I don't know whose.

Here's a few more items I came across.

Found this one on a Spanish language webpage titled

"Cómo sobrevivir a 10 situaciones extremas" or "How to survive 10 extreme situations".

This was number three:

Text with the photo:

QUOTE: La arena movediza ha alcanzado a Grylls una y otra vez, y también ha visto a muchos animales atrapados en ella. “Tienden a morir de cansancio”, dice.

Afortunadamente, los humanos tienen un cerebro mucho más grande. “Así que utilízalo y piensa inteligentemente”, dijo Grylls. “Muévete constantemente, incluso si es centímetro por centímetro. Por encima de todo, mantén la calma. El pánico te cansa y te hunde más".

“Intenta sacar a la superficie extremidad por extremidad de forma horizontal y luego arrástrate o nada a un lugar seguro. Te irá mejor si intentas regresar por el lugar en que te metiste, en lugar de seguir hacia delante. Si puedes, utiliza tu mochila o un palo para ayudarte a maniobrar hacia la superficie”.


Translated:

QUOTE: Quicksand has reached Grylls again and again, and has also seen many animals trapped in it. "They tend to die of exhaustion," he says.

Fortunately, humans have a much larger brain. "So use it wisely and think," Grylls said. "Move constantly, even if it's inch by inch. Above all, stay calm. Panic makes you tired and you sink deeper. "

"Try to surface limb by limb horizontally or nothing and then crawl to safety. You are better off if you try to return to the place where you got, rather than move forward. If you can, use your backpack or stick to help you maneuver to the surface. "
