The Dead of Winter

We’re now smack in the middle of the coldest part of winter, here in the Northern hemisphere. That means that someone in the Southern hemisphere is having a great time in some warm mud. I don’t want to name any names; you know who you are!

The forecast is calling for around 20C (upper 60’s F) for this Tuesday, when the low tide is scheduled to be around midday. I put it on my calendar, because that sort of opportunity doesn’t come around often during the short, cold days of winter. I may have to go fully clothed, and I might wimp out before I go under, but if I can manage to get into some deep mud, it will be worth the trip.

The predictions for sea level rise are getting more dire. The current consensus is for 10 feet of rise in the next 50 years or maybe less. Figuring that means 2 feet per decade, I probably won’t have very long left. There may not be any exposed estuary mud in as little as 3 years. On the other hand, I feel bad complaining about losing my mud, when many people’s homes will be threatened, if not inundated.

Long term predictions are not terribly accurate, but the pendulum could swing either way. It may take 10 years longer, or 10 years less. There are more aggressive predictions out there. The ones I’m looking at tend to be conservative. I really need to make my own swamp in the back yard. That would at least buy me a few decades.

This winter has been a moderate one, so far. I haven’t suffered as badly as I do sometimes, with seasonal depression, but the mud withdrawal has been rough, because last year was such a bad year for mudding. I hope you all are doing alright. Hang in there, Spring is coming.

Claypit CBT Clip

2015-12-30_claypit-bondage1200x900I posted in late December about this little debacle, with a free outtakes clip. It was such a warm day, I had to take advantage of it and shoot something. I thought, why not uncover the clay pit and try a face-down suspension?

The setup was pretty painful, so I was forced to keep my face and my knees in the clay in an attempt to take some strain off of my genitals. Of course, the clay is soft, so any relief was short lived, as the clay swallowed my legs and head. Clearly, I had to keep breathing, so I had to pull back on the suspension line, and on my cock&balls, to pull my face out of the clay.

It was a bit of a no-win situation. It took a while for the rope burns on my scrotum to heal after this one. In spite of that, I did go for a 2nd round, with my ass jacked up even higher. That put me in a very different position with only my head in the clay, because putting my feet down was really painful.

Eventually, I freed myself (on camera), which was not easy. My clay covered hands had a hard time gripping the slick leather, and the position I was in made it difficult to even reach the buckles.

A Nice Day for the Claypit

2015-12-30_uprightI’ve been task switching like crazy this week. It’s the end of my company’s fiscal year, I do payroll for 2 organizations, one of my clients wants a bunch of updates on their system, and I have a web application that needs updating and testing by January 1.
This afternoon, when the sun was threatening to set, I rushed out to the claypit with a single camera and proceeded to get it ready for a short bondage scene I wanted to do. This video is mostly the setup. I’m saving the actual bondage video for my clip store, when I update it in January.
You’ll see, in this video, that I’m churning the surface of the clay with my feet. I’m mixing in the water and loosening it up, so I’ll sink easier. That is something I would not need to do if I had a mud slave to keep the pit conditioned for me. Where are you, mud slave?

New Outdoor Bondage Video

2015-12-24_human_sacrifice2The weather has been incredibly mild, but it just keeps raining, so the creek remains flooded on the few days when it’s not raining and there is a low tide during daylight hours.

However, I can still take advantage of the warm weather to shoot in the woods when it’s not raining. Clips4Sale wants me to update my store at least once every 30 days, even in the winter, so I am always trying to come up with interesting things to shoot. If it doesn’t get cold soon, I’ll probably record another video in the mud pit.

2015-12-24_human-sacrifice1200x900Anyway, I recorded a bondage video, today. It worked out pretty well. I think I pulled off the illusion and I had 3 cameras that were all framed well and in focus. That doesn’t happen often.

So the story behind the clip is that there is a terrible beast that attacks this remote village and they’re helpless to stop the beast. They found out, though, that if they offer the beast a body, it won’t come into their village and attack them. In order to protect the women and children of their village, they grab some unsuspecting victim, torture him for a while, then leave him tied up really well so he’ll be there until the beast comes calling.

The villagers gag their human sacrifice so they don’t have to listen to his screams. Lucky for you, you don’t actually see me getting eaten in the video. It probably won’t be until after dark, but one thing is for sure, there is no escape.

Still Alive!

In case anyone was worried, I haven’t been eaten by an alligator. I have been tied up in the woods, but not for an inordinately long period of time. I’ve been busy, and these short days don’t leave much of a window for sinking. We have had warm weather, but it will be Friday next week before I get a shot at a low tide and the weather will have changed by then. The good news is that, in another week or so, the days will stop getting shorter, and slowly they’ll begin getting longer. It’s actually quite predictable, and the science is pretty solid. I’m not sure how the Flat Earth people explain it.

2015-12-12_4159Today was an exceptionally nice day for mid December, and it was a Saturday, so I conjured up an idea for a bondage video. Things didn’t go as planned. I had hoped to tie my wrists behind my back and to my bondage belt, but I couldn’t balance myself well enough in the tree, and if I could have, the fall from the tree might have been more than I bargained for.

2015-12-12_4171So, I ended up tying my wrists in a rather lame way and experimenting with different positions for the camera. If it makes you feel any better; although I could get my wrists free, I still couldn’t free myself from my suspension. The belt and the chain around my genitals were both locked on, and the knots in my suspension line were either under too much tension or out of reach. I had anticipated getting stuck – even more so if my wrists had been properly tied – so I had used an ice timer to anchor my suspension line. It was just a matter of time before I would be dropped like a sack of potatoes onto the forest floor.

The photo on the right is just to show that I was gagged. The gag was also locked on, so I could not take it off until I was able to get down from the tree. I have a love-hate relationship with that gag, because I can’t stop myself from drooling when I wear it. However, I like the locking harness.

Well, I’m glad we had this chat. I hope you can stop by again, sometime soon. Maybe next time I’ll have some muddy experience to share. I still have some video to edit, but nothing really great. I almost got a new camera, but that didn’t work out.

I’m going to hibernate, now.

Mudpit Predicament clip release

2015-11-10_mudpit-bondage-v2This should be no surprise, since I just blogged about this misadventure. When I shoot a video like this, I am compelled to watch it because these scenes really excite me. While I’m perusing the video clips, I generally just start editing and before I know it, the edit is finished and I’m dashing out of the office to masturbate.

There are more details about this setup in the post I made earlier today. The bondage predicaments were both fun, and the struggles recorded in this clip are real. In a situation like the one’s depicted in this clip, it’s impossible for me to move without tugging on something that reminds me of how vulnerable and immobile I am.

2015-11-10_mudpit-bondage1200x900It’s been a long time since the last time I uncovered that mud pit. I have some more material to add to it, but it’s full to the top, so I need to work on it and make it a little deeper.  Normally, I wouldn’t think much about the neglected mud pit, but the days are getting shorter, so it’s even harder to catch a low tide, and, if you’ve been following my blog, you know the weather and tides haven’t been cooperating this year. There’s a pretty good chance I’ll be doing some more bondage in the mud pit. It’s going to be hard to top this one, though.

Something Different

2015-11-10_inverted-nIt was pretty warm and partly sunny, yesterday. I had recorded 4″ of rain in the past 3 days, so the swamp was surely flooded. I had been experimenting with some bondage and I wanted to try some crazy predicament stuff over the mud pit for a more grungy and raw look. The image on the top left is towards the end of my messy torment session. I made a mess of everything!

2015-11-10_penisgagIn my initial setup, I was on my back with my wrists cuffed behind me, my ankles cuffed, and everything attached to a chain that captured my genitals at one end and linked to my waist belt at the other end. I had a rope around my genitals (in addition to the chain connected to my belt in back), that was holding me up, with a weight to keep it tight. When I started out, my feet were on top of the sandy mud. After struggling for a while, they quickened the mud and sank in, putting more strain on the rope around my genitals. I was also wearing a penis gag, in case someone came along who wanted to ride my face. That would have added another dimension to the predicament.

2015-11-10_misguided_suspensionMy second setup (pictured top left) was my favorite. It took a few tries to get the right elevation so I’d be in the mud, but held firmly by the suspension lines. In my first attempt, I was too high, so only the top of my head could touch the mud.

That mud is very thick and heavy. I wish it was just a little deeper. I suppose I’ll reconfigure it soon, given the trouble I’ve had with rain and tides this year, it will be worth fixing it up.

2015-11-10_aftermath2The image on the right is just the aftermath. Although I was playing in shallow mud, and I never got completely covered, I had sandy mud literally ground into my hair, and in my ears, nose and mouth. Had I done the same scene over the deeper and gooier clay pit, I’m not sure I would have survived. I’m definitely going to give it a try, sometime!

2015-11-10_inverted-gpHere’s another photo from the second scene (left). This one is from the GoPro, so it’s a different angle, but not quite as well exposed as the Nikon shot.

The mudpit isn’t deep, but, with some creativity and some chains, it proved to be a lot of fun and it definitely got me off. Having just finished editing the video, and now writing this blog entry, I’m ready to go back out there and do it all again! For the next week, at least, the mud pit and clay pit are my only hopes for any action. Unless I get super busy, I’m pretty sure I will do something else in one of them this week, while the weather is sunny and mild.

New Stuck Clip

2015-11-05_denim-shorts1200x900It’s not my usual clip, but it has some selling points. For one thing, the mud I get stuck in looks exactly like the ground around it. It gives no indication of the danger lurking there. Also, thanks to my boots, I actually did get stuck, and most of the struggle is genuine.

There is a long setup on this clip (about 4 minutes), so the clip’s appeal is more towards people who want to see my muddy boots and are interested in the context of how this booted hiker, wearing short shorts and a cropped t-shirt, is hiking around in the rain forest and encounters a classic quicksand trap.

The mud reaches my mid thigh and the stuck/struggle section lasts just under 10 minutes. It’s a good struggle and the video quality is pretty nice. You never know, you might like it. I’ve never been a very good salesman. Here is a direct link, just in case: Stuck in Boots & Denim Shorts

New Denim Shorts

2015-11-05_denim-shorts-backI went for a paddle, yesterday, and I took my recently acquired denim shorts. Those of you who follow me on deviantArt may have seen a high resolution photo of me, wearing these shorts. I love the way they look on me.

So, yesterday the tide didn’t get very low on the creek, but I kind of expected that. I decided I’d shoot a video in a wooded area I found recently with some promising, but not really deep mud. I figured I would shoot a bunch of exploring shots in my tiny denim shorts and boots, before I stepped into the sticky goo and got inextricably stuck.

2015-11-05_denim-shorts-stuck2It was kind of fun, shooting a different kind of video. Things didn’t go perfectly, but it seems like that’s becoming the norm. I guess it may be time to update some of my equipment.

After slogging around and setting up about 8 different camera shots, and getting myself unstuck from the thick mud that would not let go of my booted feet, I did some self bondage and picked up the trash that was scattered throughout the area.

2015-11-05_denim-shorts-closeSadly, I had no easy way to get off in the woods. Getting stuck and having to literally dig my left boot out of the mud to get it free (my left knee is still a bit weak from the recent injury, although I don’t know if I could have pulled that boot out, anyway), and playing with ropes, I was really horny. Even though I didn’t get to have an orgasm, it was a good time, and I may do it again. Right now, I must run. I hope you like the video frames. There will be a video, once I get it edited.

Thick, Deep Mud – clip release

2015-10-22_swamp1200x900Thick, Deep Mud – 2015-10-22

I have released the video from my misadventure on October 22. That was my first successful mudding trip in over 2 months, so I was really excited just to wriggle in the mud and submit myself to it’s embrace. Although you can’t see it, the feeling of the mud got me very excited, and I just wanted to go deeper and deeper. Unfortunately, there comes a point where I can no longer breath and I must resurface for air. I go completely under towards the end of this clip, and then there is a short bit where I begin to wriggle myself back out.

I wish I could say my mudding prospects for the rest of the month were great, but we’re still getting a surplus of rain. The weather is still mild, so I’m still holding out hopes on a few more trips this season.

Gentle Mudding

2015-10-23_f3Well, it was my idea of gentle mudding, but I might have gotten a little carried away. My knee improved a lot overnight, so I decided I’d go for a paddle and check out the low tide. I arrived at the water while the tide was still going out, and hadn’t yet gotten low enough to reveal any good mud. I didn’t want to make the mistake I made yesterday, and arrive late to the party.

Since I was early, I paddled to my more distant spot and picked up trash along the way. After arriving at the mud, I paddled back up the creek to fetch a long piece of timber that was hung up along the bank. I floated that log back to the place I had selected, and dragged it across the mud to a spot where it could reach from one bank to the other.

2015-10-23_f2The log was really long and unwieldy,  so I picked it up over my head and pitched it across the abyss. Did I mention that I might not have been as gentle on my knee as I should have been? Once I had the log in place, I walked across on it, and it broke when I was almost all the way across. Fortunately, the log was long enough that I could still span the gorge with what was left of it. The second time I set out across, it broke on the other end, but I still had just enough to maintain my bridge, and it held my weight the third time I tried to walk across.

2015-10-23_f4I made it the entire way across, but where is the fun in that? I turned around to do it again, and this time I managed to fall into the mud. I climbed back on the log and fell into the mud again, just for good measure. None of this activity was doing my injured knee any good, but it seems to have survived the ordeal.

2015-10-23_f1I got cleaned up and put away my cameras, but there was no sign of the tide coming back in, my knee was holding up alright, and I wasn’t cold, so I returned to my bridge to do some bondage over the mud. At that point, the cameras were off, and I was just enjoying some erotic play time. I explored several different ties before the tide was encroaching on the mud and I knew I had to get back to the office. By that time I was so horny the cold water didn’t even dampen my enthusiasm. I got cleaned up for the second time, and headed back to the office.

So, in a nutshell, I got two mud trips in a row. That was a treat, even though things didn’t go perfectly. I had to go out today, because I was committed for the entire weekend and by Monday the low tide would be moving into late afternoon. The midday sun is just enough to offset the effects of the cool water; later in the day, it can be a challenge to stay warm.

Mud, at last!

2015-10-22_f1Aha! The sun was shining and the tide was low around midday. I think my tide chart is a little off, though, because the tide was low when I arrived, and I should have been 30 minutes early. The good news is that I did get immersed in some wonderful, thick, deep mud. That was just about all that went well, though.

2015-10-22_f6The audio recorder that I recently drowned and managed to get working, stopped working. I had to use the Nikon camera for audio, and that’s never a good deal. There wasn’t any significant wind, so at least the audio wasn’t destroyed by wind noise.

My first sink was a good, old-fashioned, vertical sink to the point of total immersion. The mud was thick, so the sink was slow and sensuous. It was good, and it got me very aroused. The second catastrophe struck when I pulled myself out of the thick mud. I’m still not sure what I did, but I hurt my left knee badly enough that I had to drag that leg along with my arm to keep the pain in the tolerable range. If I tried to pull my left leg up normally, the pain was excruciating.

2015-10-22_f4Once I got out of the mud, I reset my cameras and laid myself down on the mud so I could enjoy some “me” time before I limped back to my boat in defeat. I had about 30 minutes left, before the tide would start coming in. I didn’t actually last that long, before I started getting chilled. The sun was very warm, but the water and the surface of the mud were both pretty cool. The mud was fairly warm, deeper down, but my knee wasn’t going to survive another deep sink.

2015-10-22_f3When I got cold, I very carefully got out of the mud and limped back to my boat with some of my gear, leaving most of it behind for a second trip. The cleanup was exhilarating, to say the least, but the cold water really helped my knee, which made my trip back for my gear a lot more bearable. Having washed off, it was a lot easier to collect my camera gear and put it away, without getting mud all over it.

After returning to my boat with the rest of my gear, I managed to get dressed in dry clothes and get into my boat without too much trouble. I was worried that I’d have trouble getting the boat up the bank, when I got back to my car, but my knee seemed to be improving rapidly. As it was, I got my boat loaded without too much trouble and made my way home without any additional mishaps.

2015-10-22_f2Since my arrival home, I’ve disassembled my recorder and sprayed it down, again, with contact cleaner. I’ll find out, after it’s had some time to dry out, if it’s going to work, or if I’m just going to have to write it off as a total loss. My knee has gotten worse from sitting at my desk, so I guess I’m going to need some physical therapy to get it moving, again. I’m not sure what I did to it for it to be giving me so much pain, but I suppose I twisted it funny, while pulling it up from the thick mud. This is the first time I’ve ever hurt a knee while mudding, and I’ve worked them much harder in the past; especially in the clay pit. This is what I get for taking 6 weeks off from mudding. My body has gone to shit.

Well, at least I got out and got some mud, today. I was going to go back out tomorrow, but now I might have to reconsider that plan.

The Making of Mud Movie is on UMD!

dougescapesThe goal is in sight!

This isn’t the full, public release I eventually want to make, but, thanks to the hosting generosity of Messmaster at UMD.net, UMD members can see the Making of a Mud Movie Movie for free on The Ultimate Messy Directory for about a week.* This is a really big deal for me. I didn’t know that Messmaster was now allowing free videos to be added. I had asked him in the past and he had said he couldn’t spare the bandwidth/storage for non-commercial video. I haven’t been able to sell videos on UMD since they started doing their payouts through PayPal. I’m not sure if anyone remembers the days when I could sell DVDs on PayPal. Back then, I edited out nudity and masturbation shots to comply with PayPal rules, but they kicked me off anyway, because they’re a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites. They din’t even give me an opportunity to argue my case.

Of course, those days are over. Mudlover.com no longer uses any PayPal services, and Clips4Sale doesn’t require that I censor my content. The UMD provided a great sales outlet until they changed their payment processor. I can no longer sell videos on UMD, but now I can give them away if they’re under 15 minutes long. Messmaster made an exception for this video.* I know some of you are not fans of UMD because some of their members are not very accepting of male erotica, to say the least. I just want you to know that Messmaster has always been kind to me and more than fair. He has defended me and given me a waiver when the haters were demanding that my content be moved to someplace where they could not see it.

Direct link to my video page on UMD.net

*After a week, the video will only be visible to UMD Premium members, so don’t waste time checking it out!

Storm Surge & Flood Waters

DJT_6449The high water persists, and the mercury is dropping. Starting Tuesday, it’s supposed to clear up and maybe we’ll get a week of dry weather. The way it’s been, I’m not holding my breath.

I went out on the creek on Friday at low tide, and the water was easily 24 centimeters higher than it should have been. Then we got another 2 centimeters of rain on Saturday, and I went back out today (Sunday) for a paddle at low tide, just to see what it looked like. It was similar to Friday; maybe even a little higher because of the recent rainfall. Everything is so saturated now, I’d expect the creek to stay high for several more days, at least.

I’m going to find some mud to play in before winter, even if I have to mix it myself. My biggest fear is that this year is a harbinger of things to come. I know I have had months of frustration in the past with catching a low tide, but this entire year has been very wet and the tides have been really unpredictable. I guess I should be happy that I finished my Making of a Mud Movie movie. It wasn’t easy to get the last couple shots I needed. There were days when I had 20 minutes to shoot before the rising tide covered the mud.

In case anyone is concerned, the storms didn’t really have much impact where I live. We got a lot of rain, but just enough to be a major inconvenience. We didn’t get the flooding that South Carolina got.

I’m going to find somewhere to get muddy while the weather is still mild. I’m really anxious to shoot something awesome, so stay tuned!

The Documentary, Finally!

mmmm_promo1600x1200Well, I finally finished my “Making of a Mud Movie” movie. I left out the parts about editing, uploading, and promoting a mud video, because those things are just tedious. The documentary clip almost plays like a “best of” clip, since I used so many bits from my huge collection of mud video, although those bits are pretty short. I also use a lot of behind the scenes and new video that I recorded for the narration scenes.

I started working on this clip over a year ago. It took me a long time to collect all of the necessary parts, and I spent a good deal of time editing and re-editing for the right flow. Personally, I think it came out well. It would have been better if someone had been stalking me with a GoPro for the past 20 years, but they didn’t even make GoPros 20 years ago, and I can’t afford a full time stalker.

Here is the important part: Eventually, I want to put this clip out for the entire world to see, but I’m not ready to do that, yet. I put the clip in my clip store for those of you who don’t want to wait to see it, or simply want to support my clip making efforts. What I’m saying here, is that you don’t need to buy it to see it. I’m going to figure out a way to put it out there for more people to see, but I need to be a little careful, or I need to wait until I’m not worried about who might see it when someone posts it on Facebook or something similar. It’s probably going to be close to 2 years before it’s released to the general public; maybe longer.

There are no naked, masturbation, or genital bondage scenes, because the clip was edited for eventual release to the public. There is a short bondage section, because any documentary about Mudlover.com would be incomplete if it did not include mud-bondage.

I hope some of you get to see the video and send me your thoughts on it. This is not one of those videos that I cut together in an hour. I put my heart in this video, and I’m anxious to hear what people think of it.
