Would give you some leverage to get out. Most mud is really shallow. It would be hard to find something bottomless but that depends on where you are. Where I live most mud is usually knee to waist deep. I never worry about getting sucked under really. It is just if the mud is real thick. it might be difficult to get out especially if you are waist deep. I mostly do this on my own without any people videos unless I know the person real well since I am a private person as well. Mostly I enjoy this community and the posts but just have a few experiences to share.
I will keep that all for note! I live in the est zone so im feeling more confident i won't run into bottomless mud. I really want to look through the woods in my backyard (its huge) are the woods places for decent mud? Sorry last question 100 promise. You have been so helpful. I always wondered these things wayyy too long. Google doesn't help much because not many people ask such in-depth questions about mud/quicksand (since this kink is a lot less known and less common I'm assuming). I will most likely be doing these alone for these trips, since I don't know anyone or trust anyone to watch me and will most likely be looking for like knee-deep (it seems a lot of the people in MPV videos anyway just kind of lie back and make it look as if its bottomless, when they are most likely touching the floor when they go head in). For a beginner, I would prefer something where I touch the floor. I experimented in the tub with this stuff called Gelibaff and it felt amazing but the tub wasn't long enough so my experience was kind of cramped.
No problem. You can ask me as many questions as you want. I live in the est time zone as well (NJ), and although there is no bottomless mud I found, I definitely know some areas waist to chest deep which is perfect for sinking/getting stuck but I know I'm safe not going under which is a very unlikely scenario. It depends what your woods are like as to whether you find mud. If it's in a low wet area like I am with a stream, I would say definitely but not in hilly or rocky areas. I would look for a stream and next to that is where you would find mud. There is a park where i live, it is tidal as being part of the bay. In low tide the mud is fantastic. Looks solid but will suck you right in. You night enjoy the knee deep, but if you get a little deeper, thigh to waist deep, it's a different prospective and really enjoyable especially if it's a little difficult to get out. Much better than the bathtub.
Oh wow, I live in NJ as well. I live in the bergen county part of it. Have you heard of Berry's creek? I found it as a sink location here on google maps. It's the one place not obscenely far from me (like 28 mins). My only concern is on there, I saw areas for parking(meaning it will be hard to get privacy unless the mud is far out and away from that spot). I don't drive yet, so I plan to uber somewhere with mud(with water to clean myself up), just got to think of an excuse of where i'm going. I checked my woods today as everyone left the house, sadly no good mud(not hilly but had a bit of incline, not sure it that was just from all the sticks and twigs) There were small patches of dirt (with 100's of twigs) so even when that got wet, it wouldn't be good enough, looks too dangerous cause of all the sharpness. Yeah, while I was in the woods, I was looking for streams or any little bodies of water. My true desire is to go fully in someday (hopefully by the time i'm in my mid 20's) go fully under but that will be in mud that is a solid 4 feet (like a shallow pool). What is low tide exactly? is that close to the body of water?
I lived in the Central/South Part of the State. Ocean County by the beach. So we have some bays here and some marshy woods. When the tide goes out in the bay, the water disappears by the shoreline. There is soft mud there and you can sink right in, but you have to be careful. One girl I know sank up to her chest and it was a little dangerous. It is better in the small streams in the woods by the bay. Some mudpits there are 3 to 4 feet deep. It is wet when the tides are in, but when out it is dry and you can sink right in. Safe since there is a bottom but also difficult to get out so lots of fun. If the tide came in it would just be a little wetter not submerged. You can get to it if you hike but off the trail.
Berry's creek, not sure. I heard of it by the Meadowlands, but don't go there if Lots of sewage and toxic stuff. Most places I know are South Jersey. Like the Pine Barrens. If you find some parks with a lake or stream you might be able to find mud there.
It sounds like you are excited to sink in mud. I remember just watching my ankles at first and it was really exciting to see them sink!
oh wow, yeah living by the ocean sounds beneficial for sure. So, with tides, when it's low tide, that's when the mud comes? Was the risk with the girl that she had trouble getting out? I'll keep my eye out for small streams, as it sounds more what i'm looking for right now. Thank you for the precaution, I want to avoid nasty first sink as much as possible, which is why I want to really educate. I guess being stuck in quartine for this long made me want to finally chase my "strange" dreams. Oh yeah, for sure! I remember when I dabbled for like 2 secs (before I got super paranoid) I got a huge rush.
Are you able to set up your private messaging? I can talk to you more on the above.
