Deep Mud Adventures
Late Season Mud
I took my weight into the swamp, today. The location I selected posed some real challenges for recording, so I opted to record with only the GoPro camera and the dedicated audio recorder. It was still a tricky businessl; after I was finished recording, I had to drag the boat to the water, so I … Continue reading
Late Day Low Tide
Even though the low tide was going to be very close to sunset, I ventured out in search of some deep mud. I arrived before low tide, in order to have a little extra time. I started out shooting some scenes for my documentary. For my feature video, I paired a cropped white t-shirt with … Continue reading
A Great Way to Start the Day
I found some jeans that I can barely wriggle my ass into. I have to do an awkward little dance to get them over my hips. This morning, I put together the rest of the look. I cut off my long sleeved camo shirt, used a rope for a belt, and slipped into my diving … Continue reading

Swamp Marathon
I went out an hour before low tide today, because I was pretty sure I’d have another lame low tide. I figured I’d find a good spot, set up, and wait for the mud to be exposed, even if only for 20 minutes. Well, the tide was already pretty low when I arrived at the … Continue reading
Peat Mud Play
I set out on the creek, today, at low tide. The creek was still flooded from recent rainfall. I decided I would go for a paddle on the creek, regardless of whether I could go mudding. I took a trash bag so I could clean up the trash on the creek, and I took my … Continue reading
