I have released the slogging clip from my recent expedition into the swamp in latex briefs. In this clip, I only sink up to my waist, and most of the time I don’t sink that deep. Instead, I work my way around the edges of the deep mud-hole, without allowing myself to get sucked in. This is more-or-less the prequel to the previous clip, “A Muddy End”.
First Submersion of 2018!
It was pretty nice today, and the low tide was near midday, which is a good thing this time of year. I took full advantage of what turned out to be a pretty short-lived low tide. I teased the mud for a while, walking along the perimeter of the bottomless mud and trying not to get sucked in. Eventually, I was sucked in and I put up a protracted struggle before giving in to the deep, hungry mud. After that, I kicked back on the surface of the mud and played with myself.
These images are all from the first bit of video I shot, while I was toying with the mud. As you can see, I wore my red and black latex briefs. It has been almost 6 hours since my return from the swamp and I’m still wearing those briefs. I really like them.
I switched to my new video camera when I went in for the grand finale. I didn’t grab any stills from that video, yet. I also used the new camera for the masturbation scene. I hope that one turns out well.
It was great to get completely immersed, again. It has been some time since I’ve been able to do that. Fortunately, I had the creek to myself when it came time to get cleaned up. The water was brisk, but not unbearable. All in all, I had a great time. There will probably be 3 videos from this trip; the slogging, the drowning, and the masturbation. That should keep me busy until I can get back out there and do it again. 🙂
Unseasonably Warm Weather
Well, it hit 27C (81F), today. I think I got a little sunburn. This weather does not feel like February. I offered to help a friend with a deep-water recovery operation this morning, so I arrived at my creek a little late for low tide.
I started out my day in my wetsuit, since I was going to be searching in cold water. Once I finished that, though, I was ready to strip off the restrictive suit and get down to my speedos. As much as I love my wetsuit for what it does, it is encumbering when I don’t need it.
After I visited the spot in which I wanted to get immersed and ascertained that the tide was already too high for that spot, I set out for my wooded location to mess around as long as I could. Even though my deep sinking spots were all under water, I still had muddy places where I could tie myself up and get mired down.
After a short walk through a woods with uncertain footing and lots of trees to duck under, I came to a familiar spot where there is a cedar tree lying horizontally on the surface of the mud that I have never been able to budge, so it makes a great anchor point for bondage.
This might be a good time to mention that I’m not going to be releasing any video from this trip, because it’s all pretty boring. Therefore, I’m inserting 10 frames from the various scenes in this blog entry for those who like pictures.
My self-bondage play consisted mostly of my struggling in various positions with my genitals tied to that horizontal cedar tree. It’s fun for me to imagine being restrained like that, perpetually tugging on my sensitive parts while trying to escape.
After tying and retying myself a few times and working myself into several different positions, I decided I’d better get cleaned up and get back to the office. I had been gone since early in the morning.
These final images are from my cleanup in the creek.
My plan is to get back out to the swamp in the next few days, during low tide, so I can do a real sink. I am of the opinion that I can get completely immersed in the mud, because the temperatures are quite tolerable, and the air temperatures are expected to be very warm during the day, with lots of warm sunshine.
Early season mudding
The weather has been milder, of late, and today was rather nice, so I ventured out for a muddy adventure in the swamp. I was thinking the mud would be really cold, so I wore jeans. As it turned out, the mud wasn’t that bad; especially for February.
I did shoot video, but I did not sink that deep. The mud-line on my jeans in the photos you see here shows how deep I got. I couldn’t have gone much deeper in the spot I selected. I went there, because I knew I could get convincingly stuck there.
After the “stuck” video, I shot tried some mud-bondage predicament setups. That was fun, and it was unexpected, because I was sure I’d have to make a quick exit after sinking in ice-cold mud. As I mentioned in the first paragraph, the mud just wasn’t that cold, and the water in the creek was pretty tolerable, too.
Once I find the ambition to edit the video, I’ll be releasing a new clip with a teaser for those who just want to watch the highlights. As is usually the case with these early season clips, they are not the most extreme, but I was really excited by the chance to get muddy, and it only seems fitting to share the fun.
Expedition Video
So, today I suited up in lots of neoprene (wetsuit) and paddled my kayak as far as I could before I had to get out and drag the boat. I didn’t start shooting video until I was jumping out of the boat, into the mud and I stopped shooting when the water got too deep. The 9 minute video covers about 2 hours of slogging, hiking, hacking and partially swimming. Some of the best scenes never manage to get on camera. I hope you enjoy the bits I did manage to record.
Video Log Entry
Today (Nov 25, 2017), after I was finished with some household repairs, I had to step out to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. It was around 20C (68F) today. I walked back into the woods, stomped around in the new mud pit for a few minutes, rinsed off, then set about rigging a self-bondage scene in my greenhouse. Tomorrow, I hope to explore a muddy creek just off the White Oak River. I’m not planning on sinking, but I’m sure it will be messy. I’ll wear my wetsuit to protect me from the icy water. I’ll also try to get some documentary video.
4K/UHD content
When I shoot with multiple cameras, I’m limited to 1080p (FHD), but when I shoot only with my new camera, I can, and often do, shoot UHD (3840 x 2160) and even full 4K (4096 x 2160). In those cases, I generally downsize the video to 1920 x 1080 (FHD) or 1280 x 720 (HD) for publishing.
I could just upload a UHD version of the clip, when it’s available, but those files are pretty large, so I’m not inclined to upload them if there is no real advantage.
Before you say, “sure, 4K sounds great!”, keep in mind that the 4K clips will probably cost more and they’ll take up about twice as much space on your hard drive. The FHD videos already have a lot of resolution, and I think they look really good. It’s probably safe to say that I will be doing more FHD format videos, and move away from the HD (1280 x 720) frame size.
I tweeted a twitter poll from my @MudBondage twitter account. You can respond there if you don’t have an account here. I’d really like to hear from those of you who support my production efforts.
