Two Days with Low Tides!

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

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

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

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 …

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

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

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!

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)

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

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

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

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.

New Clip: Latex Briefs, head first

More specifically, “Black Latex Briefs in the Swamp”. It does, however, have a great inversion scene with the breathing tube, so I could stay under for a while. You can find more about this trip and a longer preview here.

Still Exploring

I’m still in search of some good quicksand drama locations that are at a higher elevation from my salt marsh locations. These locations are still under water at high tide levels, but they don’t need a low tide to be exposed … just a not high tide. Some of these locations do have potential. There were a couple of times when I struggled not to sink too deep because I didn’t want to immerse my backpack.

I honestly don’t know if this research is going to lead to anything. It is a lot of effort to hike into these remote locations, carrying everything on my back, avoiding the poison ivy, and get cleaned up before getting dressed and hiking out. I hiked 6 miles, yesterday. It was a good time, but I didn’t get enough video to justify the effort. Once I find the perfect spot, I might work out a better access plan, but it will never be as expedient as paddling a kayak right up to the mud and being able to use the kayak, both as a transport and a clean platform to stage gear.

I settled on kayaking or canoeing decades ago because boating has numerous advantages. Hiking to the mud is a regression, but it is also a different challenge, so it’s not all bad.

Navigating the Jungle

Today I went into the Croatan National Forest for a hike, and also to explore some swampy areas that could provide places for future videos. They are surrounded by poison ivy, but there is a small stream for cleanup, so maybe I can avoid the poison ivy enough that a prompt rinse in the creek will stave off an infection.
