How To Get Out Of Quicksand

Miscellaneous

When walking in quicksand terrain, carry a stout pole as it will help get you out should you start to sink. As soon as you feel your ankles sink, lay the pole on the surface of the quicksand. Flop onto your back on top of the pole.

After a minute or two equilibrium in the quicksand will be achieved and you'll stop sinking. Then work the pole towards a new position, under your hips; the pole will prevent your hips from sinking, so you can slowly pull one leg free then the other. Take the shortest root from there to firm ground.
