Another Exploratory Expedition

Posted on May 2, 2021 by mudbondage

Yup, that’s right. I went exploring again. This would be day 3 for this general area. Today’s trip was a little shorter than the previous two, but it was even more grueling. I just happened to be traversing the shallow waterways at the lowest tide level and those “shallow” waterways have no bottom. If you’re not standing on a log, you aren’t standing on anything. When the water is too shallow to paddle, I have to hold myself up on my boat so I don’t sink in up to my chest.

Part of the reason for today’s trip was to field test my brand new action cam. All of the video I shot was on the action cam and I recorded it at 4K resolution, 60 frames per second. That’s probably a little extreme, but it was a test after all. Given the intense sun, I probably should have tried the HDR mode to see if the extended dynamic range would have been better at getting shadow detail in the bright sun.

Stopping for a snack after a long, hard slog

I shot a lot of video, so I had to grab some short sections of a few shots and reduce the resolution to 960×540 in order to have a video file small enough to publish here. I’ll put a longer version in 1080p resolution (1920×1080) on Clips4Sale once I get it edited. That may take a while, I’m actually behind on editing. I have at least 2 mud videos to edit from before today.

Note: If you right-click the video and select the option to open it in a new tab, it will play in it’s full size. This web-site layout squeezes it to a smaller size.

New Exploring Clip

Posted on April 28, 2021 by mudbondage

There will be three clips from my trips on 4/23 and 4/24. This is the first and longest one. It contains the highlights of my slog through uncharted regions of the swamp. The other two will be a full immersion clip (pretty short) and a stuck clip that will feature several stuck scenes with no immersion.

The exploring clip has lots of shots of muddy jeans and some bare feet. I worked pretty hard to navigate the marsh with my kayak. There were a few times when I had to leave the kayak behind to explore treacherous terrain where there wasn’t enough water, or there was too many fallen trees.

You can find this clip in my clip store. I set the price as low as I could, since the clip is almost 15 minutes long. Two Days Exploring the Swamp, 2021-04-23

Patreon Launch

Posted on April 27, 2021 by mudbondage

I’ve created another way for fans to support my work. Pledging a monthly donation to my Patreon page won’t really get you anything special. If you’re purchasing my clips, you’re already supporting my work. I really created the Patreon page for people who also enjoy my work in other places (e.g. DeviantArt) and want to support my efforts. I figured I announce it here in case there is anyone who just wants to give me a monthly stipend or if there is someone who can’t download clips but still enjoys my web-site, etc. and wants to pitch in.

On a related note, this thought struck me when I realized that I needed a new action cam because the seven year old GoPro is having serious problems and it has allowed me to get video that I simply couldn’t capture before I had it. In other words, I really need an action cam to make great swamp videos and the old one is no longer reliable. So, there goes $300 that I’m having trouble justifying with the income I get from clip sales so I decided to try an additional revenue stream.

Thank you, for all of your support. This website exists because a small core group of people support it. About 0.1% of the people who frequent this website purchase clips. Those of you who do are the very backbone of this project.

Two Days of Exploration

Posted on April 25, 2021 by mudbondage

Have you been wondering where I’ve been? Well, I’ve been deep in the swamp, exploring places that are so remote and treacherous, that no one before me has returned to tell about it. The first day, I had to backtrack because I couldn’t get through all of the fallen trees and there was no clear path. When I returned and overlaid my track onto the satellite imagery, I realized that I had taken a wrong turn and was heading into the woods. In going off course, I explored some ground that I may not have otherwise explored, so it wasn’t a wasted trip. However, I set out the next day to correct my routing error and pursue my original goal.

On day 2, I took an entirely different track. I did connect to my old track, so there would be no gaps in my exploration, but once I had established the condition of that route, I resumed my northward track with the goal of connecting back to Hunters creek near my new sinking hole, from which I had been exploring on foot and encountering really deep mud.

Along the way, I found a marshy wooded area that was fraught with uncertain footing. I never knew when I was going to find firm (enough) ground and when I would just sink up to my thigh. I’ll be returning there, someday.

The trip on day 2 was physically exhausting. I had to hack my way through fallen trees and drag my boat through really deep mud where there wasn’t enough water to paddle, or I just didn’t want to get into my boat because I was coated in mud. At some point, I realized that I had to break through to the other side because I just couldn’t bear to turn back. When I was getting close to my destination, the mud was getting really deep. I had to use my boat to hold myself up, or I’d sink way too deep to be able to make any progress.

I shot as much video as I could, but there were times when it was all I could do, just to make forward progress. I shot a full immersion video right before I backtracked to the cut-through and made a beeline for the creek so I could wash up and dry off. It was a warm day, but I had been wet for hours and my core temperature was dropping.

I got rained on a few times, but once I got to my cleanup spot, I put up a tarp, heated some water on my camp stove, grabbed a snack and got into some dry clothes. I still had some time left, so I hung out for a while, cleaned my boat, and relished my adventure.

I had about 4km (2.5 miles) to paddle back to where I started, but the winds were calm and paddling on the open water is like a walk in the park, compared to what I had been through. I was paddling against the incoming tide, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t notice.

Oh, and one last thing … I created a map from day 2 of my adventure, using Google Earth. Here is a link: Download

Working on the Mud Pit

Posted on April 18, 2021 by mudbondage

On April 17, I spent some time, working on the mud pit. It’s going to need more work, but I think I made some progress on it. I also recorded some video and shot a few still photos. The full video is too long to post here, so I made a special edit with some mixing scenes and I put it to music so you’d love it so much that you’d just want to purchase some of my videos. 🙂

This probably isn’t the last you’ll hear about my mud pit efforts. I need to add something to it, but I’m not sure what it needs, just yet. I’ll probably shoot a video in it, once I get it filled up and thoroughly mixed. I might also shoot more video of the job. It’s a very messy job. 😉

Exploring Clip Released

Posted on April 16, 2021 by mudbondage

The extended version of the exploration video I shot on April 6 using the GoPro is now in my ClipStore. I’ve already posted an extended teaser for it with my April 6 Preview Post. There isn’t much more I can say. You can find the clip at the following link: Exploring: Extended Edition, 2021-04-06

New Clip: Swamped in Rope

Posted on April 8, 2021 by mudbondage

This is the first clip from my April 6 excursion. I edited this one first because it was a very easy edit. In a nutshell, I just had to trim the ends; the video is a single camera and it is uncut. It’s also a short video (about 6 minutes), which also saves time.

In this clip (Swamped in Rope, 2021-04-06), John Marsh is in the bottomless swamp muck with his ankles and wrists bound. His ankles are tied to his cock and balls and his wrists are bound behind his back. Although John didn’t have the use of his arms or legs, he still managed to roll around and keep breathing … which is important, of course.

In case any of you don’t know it, John Marsh is the stage name I invented for my Twitter account and PornHub. I have also started using it when writing about my clips in my clip store. It’s fun to have an alias. 🙂

This clip is targeted towards people who like to see a real, life-and-death struggle in merciless muck. The struggle is definitely real. It’s probably not as dangerous as it looks, because a body floats well in the mud, but John’s head does go under at times, when he is trying to turn his body or break his legs free. John tells me he had a good time making this clip, anyway. <wink>

April 6 Free Preview

Posted on April 6, 2021 by mudbondage

I had to go back to the swamp today because I thought I left a piece of gear out there on April 4. It turns out that I did not, but the low tide lasted a long time, so I had time to explore some more and shoot some video. The tides are in a low pattern because the winds haven’t switched back to the south since the recent cold front. The wind was cold, but the temperature was very inviting today. As long as I wasn’t standing around with a wet body, I was fine. I’m pretty sure, once the prevailing summer winds take over, I won’t have such great low tides to play in, so I’m trying to enjoy them while I can.

Anyway, I shot a dozen or two clips on my GoPro as I explored, or tried to explore some new places. I didn’t get far because I kept encountering really deep mud that I couldn’t cross with all my gear. I like to leave my gear in my kayak and drag it behind me but the water was too low for that to be a practical option. I ditched the kayak and discovered that I was literally surrounded by bottomless mud. I’m sure you can imagine how that made me feel. <wink>

This free video clip is a really fast edit; by “fast”, I mean that I only include a short portion of each GoPro shot … there is a lot more and some of it is pretty good. Sadly, the GoPro seemed to catch a lens flare in 2 out of 3 shots. I’m not sure how I could get so lucky; I guess the sun was very high in the sky.

p.s. I’d love some feedback on this clip. I don’t usually sell exploring clips, but the full 1080p version would be too large to share here. If anyone really wants to see it, I can make a longer, 1080p version for my clip store.

New Clip: Newby Sinks

Posted on April 6, 2021 by mudbondage

I did my best to pretend that this was the first time I was swallowed alive by thick, sucking, swamp muck. The premise of this clip is that I strip down to my black bikini briefs and go for a recreational wallow in some really promising swamp mud. However, I get more than I bargained for and it doesn’t end well for me.

I shot this video on April 4, 2021. You can find more about this adventure in my previous post.

April 4: Exploring the Swamp

Posted on April 5, 2021 by mudbondage

I spent about 5 hours in the swamp on April 4. The sun was pretty warm, but there was a cool breeze coming across the water, so I wasn’t super motivated to be wet and naked. However, I got in deeper than I meant to while checking out the scenery. The sad thing is that the camera wasn’t recording the first time I went in deep. Eventually all my clothes were wet and I was a mess.

I cleaned up as best as I could in the creek and stripped off my two layers of wet shirts. I shot a short video in just my tight jeans, hat and sunglasses, in which I waded into the mud to fetch something and almost got stuck. I posted that 2 minute video on FetLife because it was too large to post here and I’m not doing PornHub anymore.

Finally, I stripped down to my briefs and did a full immersion video. It turned out pretty well, considering the mud was cold and I was losing body heat pretty fast. That clip, which is just under 10 minutes will be in my clip store soon.

I did edit a short exploring video to post here for everyone to view. The terrain was rough, so I didn’t get that many shots. I assembled what I had, and here it is in 1/2 resolution …

New Clip: Hogtied in a Mud Pit

Posted on April 1, 2021 by mudbondage

On the last day in March, I got myself into a bit of a pickle. I was wearing nothing but a pair of tight, black jean shorts, my wrists were tied behind my back and my ankles were tied to my wrists in a hog-tie. If that wasn’t bad enough, I was in a pit full of muck from which I could not escape.

I suppose it goes without saying that an earnest struggle ensued. I twisted and turned in the soft muck, but the ropes holding me were too tight and too strong. It doesn’t take long and I’m completely covered in mud.

Here is a link to the clip in my clip store: Hogtied in a Mud Pit, 2021-03-31

Clay Pit Bondage Clip

Posted on March 30, 2021 by mudbondage

I’m going to post this to my male bondage blog because it is really a bondage clip. However, I haven’t had anything to add to my muddy clip store in a while and I need to update it as often as I can. I already posted a bunch of still images from this misadventure, so this post is just to let you know that the video is now available. You can find more information and a teaser video in my other blog.

Clay Pit Reopening

Posted on March 29, 2021 by mudbondage

Sunday, March 28, was a good day to open up the clay pit. I set up some block and placed a pole across the pit, using the stacks of block to elevate it. I set up some cameras and stripped down to some tiny, black jean-shorts.

I’m just going to let the pictures speak for themselves. I might write more about this once I’ve edited the video.

New Winter Mud Clip

Posted on March 8, 2021 by mudbondage

The clip from yesterday’s excursion is now available in my clip store. Check my previous post for more details on the trip. In the new clip, I am wearing black leather short-shorts and a cropped white t-shirt. I only sink up to my crotch because it was a little too chilly for a cold water swim. I know it’s kind of a lame clip, but I had to update my store with some new material.

Early Season Swamp Visit

Posted on March 7, 2021 by mudbondage

It was about 13C (55F) today with a chilling breeze. I really didn’t plan to get muddy, but I wanted to get out on the water for a paddle, at least. The fact that the tide was low just meant I would be able to visually inspect some of my favorite spots along the way.

As it turned out, I stripped out of my warm clothes and waded around in some mud that I knew wasn’t super deep. I figured if I didn’t get too deep into the mud, cleaning up wouldn’t be too much of a chill. The warm sun actually made the entire adventure pleasant when I was fully dressed and quite bearable when I was mostly naked and wet.

I shot both video and some stills. I had a new microphone and wind-screen I had to test, and today the wind was blowing hard enough to give the combination a real world test. I plan to post a 5 minute video in my clip store, but it’s going to be pretty lame for a sinking video, since I only sank up to my crotch and most of the time the mud wasn’t even that deep. The clip should be posted in the next day or two. I’d post it tonight, but I’m ready to call it a day.
