Deep Mud Adventures
Heavy Mud
I have been out sinking twice in the past couple of days. I’ve also been shooting video. I’ve just been too busy to edit anything, or blog about my experiences. On Friday, the excitement was mostly under the mud, so I’m not sure how much video I’ll be able to use from that trip. I … Continue reading
The Best Laid Plans
I ventured out to the swamp, as planned, this morning. My destination was the really deep, not-so-thick mud spot that is only available at extra low tide levels. I wasn’t sure, when I got on the creek if I’d be able to play there, but I went there to have a look, and it was … Continue reading
Swamp Drama
I set out, today, to shoot a video for Andy (in the U.K.), with a cropped white t-shirt and blue speedos. I went in search of a good spot where I would be abandoned by a renegade group of natives in a a cruel bondage predicament. I wanted to have my hands tied behind my … Continue reading
Late Start
I got off to a late start, today, but it was a very nice day and I figured there was no harm in getting out, even if I missed the low tide. When I arrived, I found the tide wasn’t as low as I had hoped, but I had about an hour before it would … Continue reading
A Much Better Day
Well, today’s trip into the swamp went much better, and I had a good time. The difference was probably down to a good night’s sleep. I picked out some translucent, purple, latex briefs for this trip, and I brought my breathing tube, so I could stay under for a while. My plan was to sink … Continue reading
Making Up for Lost Time
Today, I was beside myself in the swamp, making up for the video I didn’t shoot, yesterday. I made myself walk the plank and left myself to drown in quickmud. Conditions were excellent for mudding, today. I went back to the spot with the thick mud, because I really enjoyed my time there, yesterday, and … Continue reading
Look mom, no camera
I went swamping today and I did not set up a video camera, or any other camera, for that matter. I set out across the thick mud with some rope and my 35lb (~15kg) weight. With my ankles tied, and my wrists tied behind my back, I managed to work myself completely under the thick … Continue reading
Back to the Swamp
I went into the swamp, today. I brought my new camera guy, and I wore a new pair of metallic blue swim trunks. In preparation for this trip, I did something a little different; I shot some video, while I was getting things ready, and I had camera guy shoot some video when we arrived … Continue reading
Exploring, Day 2
On Sunday, April 27, I ventured out to Hunter’s Creek, alone. I went out several hours before low tide, so I put in several miles upstream from the mud spot and paddled further upstream, just beyond a beaver dam. The scenery above the beaver dam was spectacular, and the wildlife was abundant. I got out … Continue reading
