Exploring

Searching for mud, exploring the swamp, swamping locations you want to share, etc.

Exploring on April 6 (short clip)

I ventured out for a hike on April 6, 2024. It was actually a pretty cool day with a chilling wind, but I had to, at least, take off my shoes and pants to explore some wet areas. There was some real quicksand in the stream, so I stopped and experimented with it. I wish … Continue reading »

New Stuck Clip: It’s So Thick

I went out into the swamp on Sunday, March 31 and I shot some video, wearing my tiny PVC briefs. Don’t ask me why I wore them; I didn’t even know what I’d find in the swamp, as we had recently had a lot of rain and the creek has been running high. I spotted … Continue reading »

New Clip: Looking for Trouble

I put a new clip in my clip store. It is more like the kind I usually give away; not a lot of mud, and pretty short. However, I really needed to update my clip store, so I edited a 3 minute FHD clip and added it to my store. I really don’t expect it … Continue reading »

Free clip: Uncertain Footing

John Marsh was out for a hike, bare footed, wearing his signature jean shorts and carrying a heavy backpack. He set about exploring a marshland near his favorite creek. This is a pretty large video, so I may take it down in the near future.

New Winter Mud Clip

This is one of two clips I shot on January 26. I started out in a red Speedo (this clip) and I finished in my denim cutoffs (not yet edited). I start out this clip, leaving my boat on the shore and climbing across a fallen tree to explore a muddy area that is mostly … Continue reading »

First Muddy Trip of 2024

On January 12 it was very mild and I was able to make a dash to the forest. I didn’t really have a plan for my hike, except that I was going to hike in my denim short-shorts and try to get some video of some kind of outdoor adventure. I had lots of rope, … Continue reading »

New Stuck Clip & Adventure Report

This new clip is actually pretty real. The only dramatic enhancements are that I wouldn’t be stupid enough to rock back and forth on my legs if I were not trying to get stuck. Beyond that, I really did get myself very much stuck. The clip is virtually unedited; the struggle was very real. I … Continue reading »

Locating Mud (free video)

John Marsh went out exploring the forest, again on September 17. Here is a short video from his expedition. People often ask me how I find good places to sink. This video gives you a clue (like other exploring videos I’ve posted in the past). You can’t tell where you’re going to be able to … Continue reading »

Vlog for September 11

On September 11, 2023, I drove to Long Point to launch on the White Oak River because a recon trip the day before revealed that the tides appeared to be getting lower on the river than on my local creek. I have a theory about my local creek. I’ll have to take a paddle trip … Continue reading »

Another Travelogue

Today I went out at “low tide” to check some things and spend some time on the water. I knew we weren’t likely to have a low tide, and we didn’t. Ever since Idalia (tropical storm) went through, I haven’t had a low tide. The flood waters receded long ago, but I think the storm … Continue reading »

New WAM Clip: Black, nylon briefs

This clip features a lot of slogging and posing in wet, muddy, black, nylon briefs. These scenes are both the before and after a head-first immersion drama I shot the same day. You can find some of this video footage in my vlog from August 12, but it will be abbreviated and in reduced quality … Continue reading »

New Clip: John Marsh at Work

This is a behind the scenes video of a day in the life of John Marsh when he is shooting swamp video. There isn’t really any sinking in this clip. If that’s what you want, just hold on for a day or two. In the beginning of this clip we see John checking out some … Continue reading »

Recent Adventures

I’m still exploring new places, but I have also had some decent low tides. Yesterday (8/11), I went into the swamp for some messy fun. I did 5 wardrobe changes. That’s just how it played out. The video blog below gives you an idea of how my trip went, yesterday … On 8/8 I explored … Continue reading »

New Clip: Crossing the Bog

Crossing the Man-Eating Bog, to be more specific. This is a struggling clip in which I am wearing a cropped white t-shirt and super short jean shorts. I don’t get totally immersed, but I do slog through some deep mud. I had my friend with me when I shot this, so the camera follows the … Continue reading »

Eleven Miles by Kayak

On Saturday, I took a friend kayaking with me, up the muddiest creek I know of that isn’t salt marsh. The first part of the trip was pretty strenuous, but things went pretty much as planned. The return trip was a little rough. I had to paddle several miles against the incoming tide and a … Continue reading »
