Re: DRY quick-silt
It would be interesting to collect a sample of this and try to determine exactly what it is. That is, its chemical makeup, particle size, particle shape, etc.

Silt was completely dry and about three feet deep, with the bed being hidden beneath the droppings from the trees, there wasn't any indication of danger until my boots were touching the ground while still mounted.
Took four tries, but thankfully my horse was able to get out of it on his own...looking much akin to a powdered doughnut was the only negative effect from this experience.
I've seen this silt before and it is completely off limits for a horse when wet, but this is the first time I've ever encountered any that was that deep while being completely dry!
Studio 588 currently offers more than 2200 different HD and QD quicksand videos and has supported production of well over 2400 video scenes and other projects by 13 different producers. Info may be found at:

Re: DRY quick-silt
Can you make a video from this stuff?
I've never heard something similar before.

I think we're losing a rover on mars to something like this...

Re: DRY quick-silt
This sounds wild!
Until the moment I read this, I thought dry quicksand was that powdery sandy stuff that Hollywood used when it didn't want to spend money on digging (and cleaning their actor up after) a REAL peat bog.
No, I don't think you should get into it deliberately either. I'm thoroughly familiar with sinking matter of the wet kind. At the point where we become less dense than it, going under becomes a matter of choice.
With no idea of the density of this dry quicksilt stuff, methinks I'd never step into it without a preplanned escape route (possibly a rope tied to a sturdy tree?). Even knowing how to swim won't help if it's light enough!
