New Clip: Crossing the Bog

Posted on August 6, 2023 by mudbondage

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 action. I think it’s a pretty good clip, as far as slogging clips go. It’s not for everyone, of course.

Check out the teaser, below, and follow this link, to purchase the full clip.

Note: From September 1, 2023 to September 20, if you follow a link from my web-site to purchase a clip, I will get a bonus commission on the sale. So, if you make a purchase from Sept 1 to Sept 20, please remember to click one of my links to purchase the clip.

Eleven Miles by Kayak

Posted on July 30, 2023 by mudbondage

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 moderately brisk wind. I let my friend hike back on the trail, so I had to tow his kayak behind mine. He also had some adventures on his hike, so we both took a pretty good beating. Of course, the only things I recorded on video were the fun, scenic, and muddy parts. My vlog includes none of the really challenging parts. That’s kind of the way I shoot my adventures. I don’t want 7 hours of video to edit, so I just shoot when I think it’s going to be interesting.

I didn’t shoot anything I plan to sell, so I edited the highlights into the following 6m 23s vlog. Of course, I had to make it low resolution to keep the file size down.

Two Days with Low Tides!

Posted on July 27, 2023 by mudbondage

Maybe conditions are going to favor better tides in the near future. On July 26, the low tide got down to -0.56 ft (at the tide gauge that I monitor) and it got down to -0.72 ft on the 27th! That’s lower than I’ve seen the tide in a long time.

Although I was in the 2nd day of a migraine headache on July 26, I could not pass up what could have been my only chance for a good low tide. My head had been hurting for about 30 hours, so I figured a distraction wouldn’t kill me. I took my heavy, lead weight and I probably took some ill advised risks, but going under with the heavy weight tied to me definitely took my mind off my headache! (probably not something you should try at home)

My headache was gone by the time I went out on the 27th, but I almost didn’t go because two days in a row of going under the mud, over and over, really messes with my eyes. However, I also have some poison ivy on my left ankle, and I figured it couldn’t hurt to soak it in salt marsh/salt water. So, off I went. I didn’t take my weight, but I did do some crazy fun bondage … and got lots of mud in my eyes.

And, this evening (July 27), after cleaning up my gear, catching up on work, and doing a load of laundry, I went out to target shoot with my compound bow. After all that, I came in and edited the short vlog that you can find below. I hope you enjoy my 1:33 summation of my two days of adventure and horror in the swamp.

Still Exploring

Posted on July 25, 2023 by mudbondage

Everything I’ve been reading is telling me that my tide situation isn’t going to improve for years, if ever. So, I’ve been risking poison ivy to find new places to sink. Yesterday, I was really taking my chances, walking through it barefooted. I hope I don’t regret that decision.

My next trip will probably be to this same area by kayak, so I can avoid some of the weeds and have an easier cleanup.

The Last Low Tide

Posted on July 19, 2023 by mudbondage

At least for a while, if the current trend continues. I had some moderately low tides (where I would have had super low tides in the past), thanks to the new moon (sun and moon aligned). I left home around 3:30pm so I’d be able to arrive in the great mud zone around 5pm (30 minute drive and 60 minute launch/paddle).

When I arrived, the tide was still going out. I didn’t go straight for the familiar mud. Instead, I paddled away from the creek, into the muddy channels that cut through the marsh grass. The channels are filled with deep mud, but the channel I chose to traverse was full of timber and generally has some water over parts of it. I had hoped to get to a spot where I have played before, but I wasn’t able to get that far, in spite of a heroic effort.

I put together a seven minute video that covers the highlights of my trip from the time I got out of my boat into the mud, until I got washed off and started packing up to paddle back. The video has been removed from the server, to make space for new vlogs (2024-04-22).

Diving into the Deep

Posted on July 17, 2023 by mudbondage

I went out to the swamp on Sunday afternoon (July 16, 2023) for what would be a pretty short wallow in my deepest swamp muck. It was raining when I arrived at the mud, but it was just a quick shower.

As soon as the rain stopped, I dove head-first into the bottomless muck. I dove so deep, it took me several strokes of my arms to break the surface, when I had to resurface. I think this was the first time I’ve ever been that deep after a dive. It was kind of intense, so of course, I had to do it twice.

There really isn’t much to report on this trip, except that it was very short. I went out in my jean shorts and stripped down to red latex briefs before getting in the mud. I paddled my new boat, so I could experiment with a boat-mounted camera support.

I’m still waiting for the tides to return to something like they were a few years ago. I know we’ve had 5″ of sea level rise here in the last 10-20 years, but the tides seem to have risen 6″ in the past 3 years, therefore I think there has to be other factors involved.

Check out this free video. I didn’t really shoot enough to make an official clip, so I won’t be releasing an HD version of this until I have some more diving video to add to it.

New Clip: Sloppy Fun …

Posted on July 14, 2023 by mudbondage

Sloppy Fun in Deep Muck, 2023-07-12

After I did the “serious” quickmud drowning scene, I was ready to enjoy the warm, inviting mud, and show off my mad mud skills. 😉

I do two dives in this video, one backwards somersault, a couple of inversions and several closeup crotch shots. There are even some muddy feet in this video. Check out the teaser, below …

New Quickmud Clip

Posted on July 13, 2023 by mudbondage

This probably isn’t my most authentic struggle, but it’s some of my most treacherous quickmud. I often wonder what would happen if anyone, other than me, were walking through there and stepped in that deep, man-eating hole. On the surface, it looks pretty much like the surrounding area, but I’ve worked it into a bottomless quagmire that can’t support any weight.

I guess what makes this video special is that I stay under the mud longer than usual. Otherwise, the preview (below) describes the video pretty well. I should probably add that there will be another video from this location, with this same outfit, but it will be horsing around, diving, and rubbing my crotch. I promise I’ll get that one edited soon.

A Quick Vlog

Posted on July 12, 2023 by mudbondage

My trip on July 12, 2023 was a mix of deep mud, rain, sun, and water. I probably spent as much time in the water as I did in my kayak. It was a hot day, but the sun couldn’t seem to commit. There was distant thunder and ominous clouds for a while before it started raining. The sun came out for a while longer, then it started raining, again. The sun came back out before I left, so I was able to dry out some of my quick-dry clothes and enjoy the warm sun on my wet body for a while before I finally left the creek.

Check the gallery page (in the menu at the top) for a new gallery I created from this trip under 2023 images.

Here is my “travel vlog” from the trip. As you know, I have to keep them short. There is a lot more video where this came from …

Heads Up!

Posted on July 12, 2023 by mudbondage

For the first time in nearly 2 weeks, it looks like I’ll have a low enough tide to explore some bottomless swamp mud. Low tide will be at the hottest part of the day, so I’m not going to go for a long paddle or extended expedition. I’m going to stay close to home and probably find a mud hole in which to wallow, dive, get immersed, inverted, and probably masturbate, since I am also pretty horny.

Wish me luck!

The Morning After an Adventure (Trip Report)

Posted on July 2, 2023 by mudbondage

I had a great trip into the swamp, yesterday. I slept great and woke up horny as hell. I have so much to do today, but I also want to publish a new mud video for my clip store. The time I spend editing trip vlogs is time I don’t spend editing clips, but I like to share my trips with my followers. Having said that, though, it doesn’t look like I have many followers these days. I suppose I could focus on editing clips. I have at least 5 from this year and a couple from last year.

Yesterday, I set out into the swamp with a friend. I used him as a camera person, but I also let him enjoy the cool mud for a while. We spent a lot of time in the creek afterward, also. It was a hot day and both the mud and the creek were very refreshing. By the time we got back in the kayaks to return, my core temperature was low enough that the heat felt good.

The Vlog below showcases the variety of messes we encountered on our 5 hour trip. (Sorry about the low resolution. The video was too long to make it any larger. The best bits should show up in a clip, eventually.)

First of Summer Update

Posted on June 21, 2023 by mudbondage

Today is the first day of summer. I’ve been spending a lot of time in the wilderness; although not so much in the swamp, since the tides have been unworkable for mud. I still have a few videos to edit and release, but I haven’t been editing much. It’s easier for me to shoot because I can do that while I’m out where I feel most at peace. I guess I’m just a lonely old man, hoping I’ll eventually find that spot where the ground swallows me and I’m never heard from, again.

The images I used for this blog entry are frames from some video I shot last night (June 20) in the forest, just before sunset. I was exploring some very interesting looking marsh. Sadly, I didn’t find anything deeper than knee deep. It was also getting dark, so the video is pretty dark. I do like the look of the swamp in the waning light, but a little more light would have been helpful for shadow detail.

I suppose it’s worth mentioning that I was wearing a new pair of cutoffs that fit me really well. Unfortunately, they make me look fat. 😉 I swear I haven’t been putting on weight, and all my adventures have been helping me stay fit.

I sure hope you all are doing better than I am. I’m afraid, when I find that mud hole that swallows me, I won’t be around to share it with you. I’ll try to put up some more of this year’s videos before I go.

New Self Bondage Clip

Posted on June 19, 2023 by mudbondage

I recorded this very messy self-tie struggle in the peat swamp on June 14. I recorded the tying and untying bits, as well as the part where I was partially suspended, head down, in the muck, using my breathing tube to breathe. It was a short scene, but the struggle was real and hanging over the mud with my head below the surface was pretty intense.

You can check out the teaser, below, and here is the link to the full clip in my clip store: Self Tie Struggle in the Muck

Perilous Peat Swamp

Posted on June 15, 2023 by mudbondage

Yesterday (2023-06-14), I took advantage of a mediocre low tide and ventured into the peat swamp where I hoped the tide would be low enough for some perilous bondage play.

I got some great alligator video. Usually, the gators don’t let me get video of them, and I don’t always have my camera at hand. This time, I had my camera ready and the gator let me drift pretty close to it before it submerged. It might be interesting to some of you that I almost always see a large gator in the same area where I clean up after playing in the peat mud. Today was no exception. My cleanup spot is very close.

You’d think the alligator would frighten me, but I’m not afraid of gators. What did give me a fright was the sound of what sounded like a four-wheel all terrain vehicle that seemed to circle me when I was mostly done tying myself up in the mud pit. As near as I can determine, it had to have been a boat on the creek, because there were no ATV tracks anywhere between the mud pit and the creek, and a wheeled vehicle probably couldn’t navigate all the fallen timber.

I think I arranged the images in the gallery below in the order they happened. You might have to use your imagination as to what transpired, but, in a nutshell, I shot some video on my way to the peat (jean-shorts and backpack), I changed into the PVC briefs to transit the marsh between the creek and the mud pit, I got tied up between two trees in the mud pit and used my breathing tube so I could get inverted for an erotic struggle, I emerged from the peat and got untied, then I got back into my jean shorts, boarded my kayak, paddled to another spot, docked my boat and stripped down to the PVC shorts for my final cleanup.
