How to save yourself in the mire?

Summer vacation, Stoudemire went to grandma's house in the mountains to play. The air in the mountains is good and my cousins are kind. They often take Stoudemire up the hill to play ball. On this day, Stoudemire and his cousin went to the mountain. He lusted after the exotic flowers and plants in the mountains and gradually deviated from the road. Suddenly, Stoudemire felt his body sinking, his feet sank into the mud, and he soon fell to his knees. At this moment, he realized that he had stepped into a quagmire, and fear attacked Stoudemire. He quickly called for help. When he tries to pull out one foot, the other foot will sink deeper. So, he lay down in the mire, just like backstroke, and did not continue to sink. The cousin who walked in front heard the cry for help and immediately turned back to search. After finding Stoudemire, a cousin tied a rope around his waist, slowly approached Stoudemire and grabbed his hand. The other cousins pulled the rope and they picked up little Stella.

Stoudemire got into a quagmire because he was careless and didn't pay attention to his steps, but he fell down, which is a good way to save himself in this situation. There are dangerous bogs, marshes and quicksand in many parts of our country. If you accidentally fall into these places, you may die. So it is very helpful to learn to save yourself and protect yourself.

Self-help and self-protection measures

1. If you have to cross a place full of mire, you should walk along the highland where trees grow, or step on heather, because both 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.

2. If you are stuck in a quagmire, you should first keep a cool head and don't struggle. Struggling hard or kicking will only make the body sink faster. Slowly lie down and take a supine position, try to keep your limbs apart, expand the contact area between your body and the mire, and increase buoyancy. And try to reduce the weight as much as possible and discard all unnecessary belongings. But don't take off your backpack or cloak, because these can increase buoyancy. If you have a crutch, you can stick it in the mud under your body.

3. If you can, slowly climb to the field or turn over. 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 there are roots and grass beside you, you can pull it to move your body. All this requires enough patience and gentle movements to get out of the predicament slowly. Don't worry. It may take an hour to move a few tens of centimeters. When you feel tired, you can stretch your limbs and lie quietly. This posture will keep your body from sinking.

If someone walks with you, you should lie still and wait for your partner to throw a rope or stretch a stick to pull yourself out of danger. Acting quickly will not only help, but will soon be exhausted.

preventive measure

1. For outdoor travel, you should know the surrounding geography. If there are mires and swamps, you should walk carefully. It is best to go out with others, so that you can have a look after.

2. Mudflats are generally located in swamps or wet, soft and muddy wilderness. You should be more careful when you see the black flat ground where nothing grows. Meanwhile, we should pay attention to the blue sphagnum swamp. Sometimes the moss is covered with mud and the surface is like a carpet, which is the most dangerous trap.

3. Before passing through the area with mire and swamp, it is the key point of safety to keep the head and foothold stable. Avoid grabbing grass or putting your feet on wet rocks. If you have to grab grass, grab several roots at the same time, but remember not to just grab the tips of the grass. Never touch pumice or dead trees in the swamp to avoid accidents.
