Exploring

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

New Clip: Rear Views

A Rear View from the Swamp is for people who enjoy butt shots. It includes some slogging, sinking, and struggling, but it’s definitely not a deep sinking video. It has no full immersions, and it is limited on crotch shots. I started editing a vlog entry from this trip, but it never got finished; I … Continue reading »

New Exploring Clip!

I don’t know why I picked this one to edit first. I hadn’t really done anything with the video from this trip, and there is at least 30 minutes of good video, so I picked some of it for an exploring clip and assembled it into something around 12 minutes. This clip is from my … Continue reading »

Detours and Late Starts

On Tuesday morning, August 9, I was focused on some application development at work. I didn’t wrap up as early as I wanted, and then I had to get lunch and walk my dog. I left for the river about 30 minutes later than I had hoped, and then disaster struck! My launch on the … Continue reading »

Back to the Swamp

This expedition will be forever known as the one where I forgot to put my wallet in a safe place, and I lost it somewhere along my long slog through the swamp. There is a slim chance I’ll find it, but I’ve already applied for a replacement driver’s license and new credit/debit cards. There wasn’t … Continue reading »

Expedition Clip Released

You can find a decent description of this clip and an extended length trailer for it in my previous blog entry. In a nutshell, I went out in my tiny, rubberized briefs and navigated my way up a muddy channel. I had to go under trees, over log jams, and through lots of treacherous muck. … Continue reading »

Swamp Vlog from June 29

Well, it happened again. I paddled a great distance against the current (both ways) so I could subject myself to a grueling trial of man against mud. Insidious, body swallowing, sucking swamp mud, that is. Of course, it was all great fun … for the most part. I’m trying to get out on a regular … Continue reading »

Shortest Quicksand Clip, Ever!

I posted a new quicksand clip on C4S that is just over 2.5 minutes. I had to pad it out with some slogging because the actual sinking scene is really short (about a minute) and the minimum clip length is 2.5 minutes. I found some mud that was pretty unique in that I barely floated … Continue reading »

The Slog From Hell

I did it, again. I drug my boat through the canals of death. I wore jeans, which offered some protection against sharp sticks and saw grass, but they also make it harder to slog through the deep, sucking mud. The tide was pretty low and going out fast when I started into the canals. It … Continue reading »

Trip Report for the First Day of Summer

June 21, 2022, John Marsh sets out to cross a treacherous swamp but he is never heard from, again. Well, not really, but I did make another quicksand movie. I didn’t really know what to shoot, today. I was pretty sure the low tide wouldn’t be ideal. However, I needed some fresh air and exercise. … Continue reading »

New Clip: Navigating the Swamp in Jeans

This clip is from 2021-09-17. I posted a preview of this adventure in my Sept 18 blog entry. John Marsh is struggling to get through the swamp wearing tight, low-waist jeans and a (formerly) white crop-top t-shirt. He and his canoe have to navigate miles of bottomless mud where the water is too shallow to … Continue reading »

Late Season Visit to the Swamp

I packed my gear and wriggled into a half-body wetsuit over a tight Speedo for a really late season trip into the swamp. The weather has been very mild (warm) for late December. It hasn’t even been cold at night. I split my trip into 3 short videos and I encoded them in low quality … Continue reading »

New Quicksand Clip

John Marsh is exploring his swamp. He is wearing only a pair of camo boy-shorts. He climbs trees, wades through the water, nearly gets stuck in some sticky mud, and finally falls into quicksand when his makeshift bridge collapses under him. Unfortunately, in spite of his desperate attempts to free himself, John eventually succumbs to … Continue reading »

Video Expedition Log

Here is a brief overview of my trip on September 17, 2021. I started out my adventure shooting a “trapped”, or stuck clip where I sink up to my neck. After that, I got rained on and had the world’s most exhausting slog. I actually got rained on multiple times. I found a 12 ft … Continue reading »

August 21 Expedition

I had a request for another diving video and I was anxious to get out on the water, again, so I set out on the White Oak River, yesterday for an adventure. I arrived early, so I had some time before the tide reached it’s lowest point and I spent some of that time shooting … Continue reading »

Trip VLog for June 9

This video is not a teaser. It is a low-resolution version of my June 9 vlog with my logo superimposed. Normally, I post my vlogs for free and I wanted to do that with this one, but I had to either edit it down to a couple minutes or reduce the resolution a lot. I … Continue reading »
