Boots and quickmud

I survived

I've started writing a detailed account of this sinking experience - it might be useful for others to read. Basically diary of a real sinker.

Thanks for the thread, because I learnt many lessons. Number One - carry a stick! No exaggeration, but I would not have been able to get out of this stuff without a stick or an assistant - it was like mud limbo - going nowhere except more tired. I'm sure it was getting thicker the more I tried to work my way out.

I was able to extract myself about 15 minutes after these pictures:

Ooh, I’ve seen the videos you’ve been uploading that were from this - I’ve rather enjoyed them!

Videos?
Where would I find the links to these videos?

It is good there is a little following for the seriously stuck in mud situations

The videos are on the stuckcouple channel on YouTube.

Oh.
Well... been enjoying that video channel for a while.
Awesome work

Almost went to try and sink in a different spot today but was thwarted by a persistent woman walking her dog.

Lucky I kept control of how deep I did manage to sink because I would have been seen

Anyone have any good excuses when you're found really stuck in chest deep mud?

I can,t imagine being caught mudding in chest deep waders but you could tell someone your a biologist or a surveyor doing field work,of course you would have to have gear and supplies suggesting its all true, or maybe your collecting soil samples for testing . lol . The area your exploring looks very interesting and of course never a good situation when its near a trail where people can walk by you. The only scenario would be walking along a coast line along a mudflat, a lot of people do that. If your running or hiking trails in the woods it would be reasonable that someone could accidently walk into a mudbog. I know that clay is very clingy,especially deep stuff.the bog muck I encounter is just as thick as clay.

I am lucky,there is a lot of government land where I hike with many lakes and bogs with absolutely no one around,the only problem is to be careful not getting lost,you are pretty much on your own so I really want to be prepared when checking anything out.If I try wading in with waders, I wont use the most expensive pair either and hopefully there is a place you can clean up, a lake or a creek.

Its to hard to go out with waders...
I prefer wear 2 or 3 opaques tights to go in this kind of mud. With tights, your body is completly sucked in the mud. You should try.
