First time deep

[Tris30]

I wonder what expierences people have when they stepped in quicksand or mud and sinked deeper than they thought and how deep you sank eventually

Other than playing in pools and shallow play pits the first time I stepped out on to mud thinking it was only a few inches deep and sank deep was around three years ago, I was out with a mate and just looking round for muddy play areas, this one spot was perfect off the beaten track and a few miles from anywhere helpful, It was 300 yards inland from a small tidal river.

I went down fast and from stepping on the mud and was up to my chin in seconds, the mud was super soft and creamy - very sticky and luckily I was able to be pulled out, we later found a old tree branch and used it to gauge the depth the branch was at least four meters and that sank so we knew if I had went under there was no one out

The deepest I sank assuming standing full upright was waist and chest-deep in Texas. That is as closest I sank. I am not too fortunate enough to find pits that behaves almost quicksand-like...

One of the first experiences I had was going to “test” out the mud in a mud flat. I wanted to find a spot to explore this fetish after discovering it online. I had found a mudflat in a swamp and figured, I’m here already, might as well see if this is the kind of spot I can come back to use for a first sink.

I was shocked as I walked out into the middle that I kept sinking straight down. Ended up sinking to chest deep and became very stuck and had my first deep sinking experience whether I was ready for it or not.

A long time ago when I was in my early teens at a quarry not far from home and I made the stupid mistake of going on my own. It was in autumn and I was dressed only in a light weight turtleneck under a V-neck sweater with jeans and sneakers.

I sank up to my ribs before stopping and I hadn't even touched bottom ! I was shivering, and scared before I was lucky enough to work out by myself how to get free without help.

...but for more than a few minutes I thought I was a goner, either by drowning or by hypothermia !

I once found a deep mud hole. I checked the depth with a stick, and it was chest-deep. But when I climbed in there in just my underwear, I only went down to my crotch. It took some effort to get down to my chest. And when I started to climb out, it was really easy to get up to my hips. The mud pushed itself out. It got harder from there, but not too much. Overall, I was a little disappointed, because I thought it would be hard to get out. But I like it when the mud holds tight and when it's hard to get out.

I've had a few deep sinking spots, the first time I sank deep was unintentional (well, kind of - I was scouting the mud in order to go for a sink at a later date, but mud that appeared to be dried out turned out not to be dried out at all and I ended up chest deep, I've written about that earlier here viewtopic.php?f=10&t=30470#p178697 ). I visited that mud quite a few times before I moved away, and also sank completely under.

The next place I lived in was a bit dissapointing for mud (I thought) despite being somewhere quite wet. I did eventually find quite a large area in a disused quarry that was only a few minutes from home which surprised me in its depth. I started wading in it, it was nice and thick, but it didn't seem to be more than about calf deep. Then I stepped forward and sank right up to my chest. I had several sink-unders in that mud. It only lasted about a year, a tropical storm came through and flooded it and it was never the same again.

Here's a picture after surfacing one time (sadly, I have very few pictures, wamming has been largely a solo affair, this is a frame grab from a rather dark grainy video although Google Nano Banana has been able to clean it up and brighten it a bit - maybe clean it up is the wrong phrase...)

Sadly there's no deep mud at all where I live now.
