\"\"<\/a>What a beautiful day to be out on the water! Sadly, I’m not able do do everything I could if I were not injured, and the water is still pretty chilly. However, I got good and stuck, and I shot my first mud video with my new 4K professional camera. The image at the top left is not resized or cropped, to give you an idea of the resolution available from a 4K frame. The remaining images have been cropped and reduced in size.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The trip was a little too much for me. Twisting in thick mud is probably hard on my back, and loading the boat on the trailer was a strain. However, I’m so glad I got to go out and enjoy some mud on such a beautiful day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As you can see from these images, I stepped out onto a muddy shelf, wearing jeans. At first the shelf seemed like it was going to carry my weight, but that was just an illusion designed to lure me further away from the edge. My legs were trapped instantly, once I started to sink. Although I had a lifeline, the thick mud would not release my legs, so I was destined to struggle in vain against the thick mud that rewarded my efforts by drawing me a little bit deeper into it’s relentless grip.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Oh, sorry, I got a little carried away with my adjectives. I sank well past my naval before I decided I’d better wriggle my tight ass out of the mud and stop tormenting my spine. It wasn’t easy getting out. When I do these videos, I’m not really faking; I’m just not using proper extraction techniques.<\/p>\n

So, I’m back, and eventually I’ll make a clip or two from the video I shot, but I can’t sit at my desk very long, so this is all you’re going to get today. I’m looking forward to a long 2017 mudding season. I hope everyone is doing well. I look forward to hearing from everyone. Don’t be afraid to say hello. (I still have a contact form<\/a> on this site, you can find me on UMD.net, and I’m also on FetLife as ropes4pleasure.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
