Escape rule
When you find your feet sinking while walking, you should lean back and lie on the ground gently. When you fall, try to spread your weight with open arms and let your body float on the water.
Don't take off your backpack or cloak, or it will increase buoyancy. If you have a crutch, you can stick it in the sand under your body.
Be careful when you move your body. Every time you do an action, leave time for mud or sand to flow under your limbs. Fast movement will only create a gap between mud or sand and suck the body deep.
If someone is traveling with you, you should lie still and wait for your partner to throw a rope or stretch out a stick to drag yourself out of danger. Being anxious will not only help you, but will soon be exhausted.
If you are a person, after lying flat in the air, gently move your hands and feet, and slowly move to the hard ground with the back stroke.
If there are roots and grass beside you, you can pull it to move your body.
Don't worry. It may take an hour to move a few meters. When you feel tired, you can stretch your limbs and lie quietly. This posture will keep your body from sinking.
danger signal
There are some wet and soft muddy areas in swamps or wilderness, which are called quagmires. Be careful when you see a black flat land where nothing grows.
At the same time, we should pay attention to the blue sphagnum swamp. Sometimes, water moss covers the muddy ground, like a carpet, which is a dangerous trap.
If you want to walk through muddy places, you should walk along the highlands where trees grow, or step on heather, because trees and heather grow on hard ground. If you are not sure which way to go, you can throw a few big stones forward to see if the ground is hard; Or stomp hard. If the ground vibrates, it is likely to be a quagmire, so we should take a detour.
Quicksand is a kind of wet loose sand, which can swallow all the heavy objects and is usually difficult to find because it may be covered with a layer of seemingly solid dry sand.
