I believe that most of those days were crew members doing experiments and tests with the pit, at the end of each day.

From an interview with director Dan Trachtenberg:

“It was so hard. We looked a lot at Neverending Story, which shot on giant sound stages that we did not have. We dug a ditch and built a mud pit in nature. I will say the interesting thing is that, you wouldn’t know it was there when we show up in the morning to shoot, you know just walking around, but as soon as a person entered it, as soon as human flesh interacted with whatever was in there, the most horrible stench you could ever smell erupted from it. I don’t know what that chemical interaction was but it was disgusting. And a number of actors had to go- we had doubles that had to go in there, stunt performers, Amber [Midthunder], others.

The other trick of it is, once you go in, you can’t be clean again for a while. So we actually shot it over the course of a week of shooting, or 5 days, where we would do like all the entrances. She gets clean, we regroup, and then we shoot some night stuff in that scenario, around that set. And then the next day we come back and we would do all of her leaving. You know we would just have to do it over the course of the day because once you’re in, that’s it, and then you don’t want to spend too much time in there anyway.”

There is in interview with Amber and the other producers about the mud scene. Starts at 9:00

Friendly word of advice;
Posting entirely on capital letters is frowned upon on the Net, it's called "flaming", it's akin to shouting and considered very bad etiquette.

I found another feature about Amber's quicksand scene on YouTube - 4:04 minutes in.
