Tides and Tarzan photos

Although it was only 45 degrees, with a cold, northerly wind this morning, I wrangled Heather into taking a trip with me, deep into the swamp. Recently, I’ve been frustrated with my success in predicting low tides. The wind has been blowing from the South and the tides have been higher than usual. A couple of days ago, the weather turned cold and the wind switched directions. So, in order to prove to myself that the wind has been the culprit, I planned to go out this morning at low tide (which happened to be at 08:30).

One event doesn’t prove anything, but the tide was about 1 foot lower this morning than it was the last time I went out. According to the tide tables, it should not have been as low. I’ve always known that the winds played a role in the tide level, but it’s looking like the wind is the primary determinant.

Conditions were not great for mudding, even though the tide was low, the combination of low temperatures, a brisk wind, and the lack of a microphone with a windscreen, convinced me that it wasn’t a good day to shoot a mud video. I opted to return to the spot I discovered last week and see if we could get some more Tarzan pictures. I had to transition from sunglasses and latex to no sunglasses and a suede leather thong. You can see me, half way through the transition, in the photo on the left.

In this last photo (the one on the right), I am fully transitioned to the Tarzan look. Most of you probably wouldn’t even recognize me in this photo, but it is me. 😀

We ended the photo shoot with some outdoor bondage. You should check the Tarzan page for more photos from this trip.

Water

I love the water. I don’t just love gazing at it, I love being in it. I love being wet and I especially love being immersed in water. Today, I kidnapped Heather for an early morning escapade. The goal was to return to the cool  spot I found yesterday, before the tide got too high and flooded the small streams that I found so delightful. Well, we didn’t quite make it. The tide was pretty high by the time we got on the water, and it was coming in fast. We stopped and took a few photos. We hung out for a little while, then we made our way back to civilization.

Check out the Tarzan page for a few more photos.

Exploring the swamp

Well, I went out today, in hopes of catching a low tide, but the tide never got low enough for mudding. I was determined to enjoy my time on the water, so I paddled a few miles and did some exploring. I got wet, I got a little dirty, and I found a tiny creek that looked really cool. It’s too bad it didn’t have some mud nearby. I didn’t have a still camera with me; I was traveling light. I did have my small video camera, so I shot some video while I was exploring. The still frames here were taken from the video. Doesn’t the location look cool? Too bad there was no quicksand to be found there.

Changes to come

I’ve been researching plug-ins for making a WordPress blog (like this one) private. Just so you all aren’t too shocked, I’m warning you, now, that I might try out various privacy features here, just to experiment. I find the idea of having a members-only blog somewhat intriguing (remember when there were perks for patrons?). I’d have to make some changes around here, again, for that to be practical. So, for now, if you find yourself having to log in, or being locked out (if you have no log-in), don’t panic, it is only temporary. If you have a log-in, please try to log in, and let me know if you have trouble. Otherwise, there would be no benefit to the experiment! (The old contact form on the main site still works to send me messages.)

I’d also like to know if you members would be more likely to post your own stuff if the blog were a members only blog?

On a completely unrelated note: I should be releasing another movie soon. I’ve had a lull in production due to weather and seasonal tide variations. I should be shooting a few more movies before the end of the season. Then there may be another, long lull. Especially the way our winters have been the last couple of years. Decembers have been particularly harsh.

New users…

I temporarily suspended the user registration feature, as I’ve had a few suspicious registrations the last couple of days. For now, if you want to register, send me a message through the contact form on this site. Please include your user name and I’ll make up a password for you and e-mail it to you. You can change the password, once you log in.

In the future, I think I’ll just require that each new user fill in a little information about themselves on their profile; at least a first name. That will make it easy for me to find and delete bogus registrations.

p.s. I’m sorry if you recently created a log-in and I deleted it.

Swamp Bondage, 2011-08-06

I just added “Swamp Bondage, 2011-08-06” to my clips4sale store. I am trying to upload it to UMD.net, but I’m having technical difficulty. UMD.net has a new payment processor that accepts more credit cards. You may want to check them out, sometime. See the Aug 6 post for the story behind this clip.

Here is a link to the teaser… 2011-08-06_swampbondage_teaser_360p

Swamping on Sept 3, 2011

muddy man in zipper briefsToday was my first trip out into my swamp since the hurricane. I didn’t notice any major relandscaping since the storm. The tides are not very low this time of year, and today was no exception. I still took advantage of the low tide and enjoyed some deep, inviting swamp mud. I shot video, but the video didn’t meet my standards for commercial video, so I threw together a highlights clip and I’m attaching it to this post for everyone to enjoy.

Drought update

My internet service has finally come back on-line, after Hurricane Irene. I’m not sure just how much rain I got here, but it rained for over 24 hours. Here is a photo of the pond, after the hurricane …

backyard pond photoI’ve got a lot of catching up to do, as I lost access to the Internet for 4 days. As you can see in this photo, most of my trees are still standing. None of my buildings or facilities were damaged. I hope everyone else fared as well.

Best Mudding Gear

Doug,

You have SO much experience out in the tidal mud maybe you can share your best mudding gear> ?  You are bearfoot? so no surf shoe recos.?  Any cock constraining rings, etc in addition to your hogtied ropes, etc.. If so, rubber, neoprene, etc… ever wear singlets?

any tools for digging in tidal muck? any recos on kayak gear for mudding?

I have been out doing similar escapades, but not with your frequency, which I applaud!

Always looking for new tips and insight.

Last… any way we can post pics of our muck romps to your site?

Drought update

I know most of you are here for my mud exploits, so I’ll keep this short. Although there has been some heavy rain in the area, my yard has only received a half-dozen or so brief showers that have served to keep the grass from dying, but that’s about all. Here is a photo of my pond. I would normally be swimming in this pond to cool off in the summer!

The pond on Aug 21, 2011

I’m still hoping for a tropical storm to bring me at least a few inches of rain. It will take a lot to bring things back to normal.

My next update will probably be to announce a new movie clip, unless I happen to have a mud adventure before then. There won’t be any good low tides  for the rest of August and September.

Cammies and zipper briefs

I went canoeing today around 17:00. It was threatening to rain, so I packed everything in watertight containers. The trip was uneventful. The tide never got very low, so I didn’t really go mudding. I did do some exploring,  and I set up the video camera a couple of times for some short clips. Here are some frames from the video. I’m not sure if the video will ever get published. It is nothing to get excited about.

A throwback to May 30th

I just released a silly video that was shot in the aftermath of the May 30, “I am going to die here” video. I didn’t make a trailer for this video. Hopefully the description I put on Clips4Sale describes it well enough. Here are some still frames from the video …

Covered in swamp mud, in front of the video cameraToday was another hot, humid day with a mediocre low tide, but I’ve been out in worse conditions. Heather Blake came along to keep me company and operate the cameras, which means I came back with some great still photos and some awesome video.

Heather hogtied me and I struggled for my life in the treacherous swamp mud (while she suffered in the intense heat, operating the camera). I had a pretty good time in the mud. It wasn’t one of my really deep spots, but I was tied up, so it didn’t need to be very deep for me to get completely covered.
