That must be some very thick stuff. Looks like you had another moment of where you're stuck.

Thick and Sloppy but Very Very fun! and yeah, I kinda did get stuck here and there, but I come prepared for that so I can get myself out with ease! I always bring this swimming kickboard thingy so it gives me more of a place to push off push up from so I can get out.

How deep is "getting stuck", and how long does it take to get moving again?

Stuck is where you get into the mud deep enough that you can no longer lift your legs from the mire, and every effort to do so meets in only sinking in deeper. So at that point it becomes crawl worthy, and crawling tends to yeild a slower sink but more ability to move freely as even though you sink you have more surface area and ability to get some 'traction' in the muck. You'll get dirtier but you'll get through it more easily too.

Well actually I meant, how deep were you when you got stuck this time, and did you keep going after you got yourself unstuck? :)

Ahh, just a few inches below my hips or so, and I did continue using the crawl method. Something I also use is a swimming kickboard that I press into the surface of the mud for support, it's useless for staying afloat as it won't support my weight in the mud, but it offers a stable platform of support, and its easily extractable from the surface of the mire. I used the crawl/swim/slide was more like it in this instance. :) Just be set to get dirty!

What a heavenly place! <3

Oh indeed, a warm day with a friend and a good romp in the swamp! Woohoo!

Nothing like being covered in warm mud!

Ummmhmm, twas VERY enjoyable

It's a paradise of nature. And a challenge for any off-roader I'm sure!

I doubt there'd be any off-roaders in proximity as there's no real 'roads' into the area, and it would need something really really amphibious to do any of this sort of bogging.

Probably something along the lines of Snowbird 6. Something with track and screw drive.

It'll be fun to hear the tales ;)

Stories coming soon I promise!

Woooot can't wait to hear ;3 Hehe If I could only be out there and letcha enjoy some company ^.^

awesome :D Wish you'd do some vids of this stuff someday :D

I doubt either of us would be too keen on video. I started a fursuit/mud suit ages ago, but never got around to finishing it sadly. That would be the only way you'd ever get vid of me mucking about. Pictures on the net are so tricky and somehow always seem to get back to people you don't want seeing them. Been there done that not gonna repeat that situation. Nuh auh! not gonna happen!

I've always wondered about this. "What would happen if a fursuiter got stuck in mud?" Wish I would have seen the outcome of this...

I don't have the address here on this little computer that I'm stuck on for awhile, but I know there's a fursuiter that does 'muck' about, heck if ya hunt through my fav's ya might find him.

Where is this?

Its in the Northern part of Washington State, I'm not gonna say precicesly where, cause ya know I like /some/ privacy whilst mucking about, but if ya note me I'll tell ya about other places out and about that I've explored in my travels that I'm perfectly willing to share about.

Okay.

i am glad you come prepared, quicksand is so dangerous and scary.

This consistancy of mire was more on the way of a peaty to clay mixture with no sand or gritty scratchy particulate material. Its more enjoyable (to me) than some of the more 'tricky' quicksand types of material. I have worked with true quicksand in the past, but its not as relaxing as some of the more muddy types. Though all the same I always pack prepared.

ah okay but even though it may not be quicksand but still can sink or get stuck?

Oh certainly. but as I mentioned I always pack with preperations in mind. Rope, floatation devices, even inflatable devices for first tries. I always come prepared. And I do also have a phone with me at all times, packed in an otter case so that it doesn't go sinky-sinky bye-bye

very good ^^
