Deep Mud Adventures
It’s in the Can
As they say in the movie biz, it’s in the can. We shot the claypit suspension movie today. The shoot was originally planned for Friday, but the weather was very nice today (Thursday) and the forecast for Friday was deteriorating. Most everything went to plan. We set up the suspension tripod, two cameras, and a … Continue reading
Unconventional mud, 2011-10-23
I went out mudding on Sunday, October 23. It was hard to get away. I’ve been working 7 days a week, lately. I actually had to slip out between tasks. I was lucky I could time my trip with low tide. The tide wasn’t really low, but it was low enough to expose some thick, … Continue reading
Swamping on Sept 3, 2011
Today 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 … Continue reading

Today 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 … Continue reading
Swamping on Aug 2
We went swamping, late on August 1, and early on August 2. Dolphin dropped in for a visit on the first, so we took advantage of the available low tides to play in the swamp. The tides were less than optimal, but we found a couple places to play. Our time window was limited to … Continue reading
Mudding on July 23
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. The last time I went out at low tide, there was no low tide. Yesterday, there was a very good low tide. The tides are not the most predictable thing, but I am not disappointed too often. So, if you’ve been keeping up, you remember that, … Continue reading
Swamping on June 25, 2011
Heather and I went out kayaking today and the tide was unusually low, so we visited one of my deepest and most treacherous mud holes. It was difficult getting there. I pulled Heather in her boat behind me in the deep mud, and I fought off vicious, determined crabs. It was like running a gauntlet. … Continue reading
Movie release
The 2011-06-07 Swamp Bondage movie is now available on Clips4Sale. Why is everyone so quiet? There haven’t been many comments, lately. It’s always great to hear from you guys, and it’s a little disconcerting when it gets too quiet. You can comment on pictures, videos, posts, and pages. Also, if you’ve had an adventure you … Continue reading

Mudding on June 5, 2011
I didn’t plan to go mudding when I ventured out in my kayak on that fateful Sunday afternoon. I just had to get out and stretch. I’d been working around the yard too much, and my back had been nagging me. I set out just after 3pm. The tide had crested and was just beginning … Continue reading
